It's still Harvard.

Not that you'd get in[/quote]

It’s still garbage.

Not that anyone cares if you’d get in.[/quote]

:lol: 
Sure Harvard is "garbage"[/quote]

Harvard hasn't given a hoot about undergraduate education since the 1960s. And now their undergrads don't care, either: https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2024/03/university-people-the-undergraduate-balance

"One casualty of these easy A’s has been the amount of reading students do. I kept hearing from professors in my interviews that students don’t do as many readings as they used to. Russian studies professor Terry Martin told me that “Reading seems to have fallen in status or as a normative academic task.”

Indeed, three of my friends and I took a high-level seminar one semester, and, although we knew hundreds of pages of readings would be assigned each week, we were excited about the prospect of engaging with the material. As time went on, the percentage of readings each of us did went from nearly 100 to nearly 0.

In the final class, each student was asked to cite their favorite readings, and the professor was surprised that so many chose readings from the first few units. That wasn’t because the students happened to be most interested in those classes’ material; rather, that was the brief period of the course when everyone actually did some of the readings.

Despite having barely engaged with the course material, we all received A’s."[/quote]

Grades are meaningless.
If you can't learn without the threat of a B, you never belonged there in the first place. Harvard education is for adults. [/quote]
