[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Burn Harvard to the ground. If my C- average White son with a 2.8 GPA cannot get into Harvard as a citizen, why should a Chinese or Nigerian national?

Our ancestors worked hard so that we could enjoy underserved and unearned privileges. Let other countries work to create their own Harvard and enjoy them. 
Life is not fair. Face it. Embrace it. Advocate for it. Exploit it. Flaunt it. It's the American way

Can I ask why your son would want to go to Harvard?  Why would he be interested in going to a place that values a completely different admissions criteria than you and he value.  What would he want to do at a place like that?[/quote]

Excuse me? Su that he can make friends with future movers and shakers who can give him a cushy job that he doesn't have to earn.

So that he can meet a senators or Presidents daughter and flaunt that.

So that he can quietly name drop the HAAH VAD name in conversations and nake plebs envious

Which worldv are you living in? You think people go to HAAH VAD to actually get an education. What a strange viewpoint[/quote]

Must be an athlete[/quote]

Nope. Athletes have to achieve, work hard and sacrifice. I'm making a different point altogether. My son deserved a spot in Harvard because he is tall, handsome, white and rich. True he had middling grades and scores but we don't consider that a negative because Harvard has never been about academics for the right people. We are outraged that we were not considered the "right people"

So burn this institution down that gives Chinese and Nigerian nationals a spot but denied our son admission even though he is a US Citizen with all the right checkboxes to make him a successful alum in a few years.

HE DESERVED TO BE AT HARVARD. OUR ANCESTORS PAID THEIR DUES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. [/quote]

None of what you wrote makes your son more deserving of being at Harvard than anyone you're dissing. I'm glad he didn't get in.[/quote]
