[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Frankly, I’m shocked a Harvard student wrote this. Perhaps, the student is relatively poor and believes Harvard should land him a fancy job on Wall Street. But, the irony is that the basic skills this student seeks are not the goal of a liberal arts education or really what gets someone an IB job. Going to Harvard, or any elite school, is about developing the philosophical and ethical orientation to become a national leader. Graduate/professional school is for a more specific and toolbox approach. [b]Harvard is not and should not be a trade schoo[/b]l. [/quote] Admitting truly talented students based on merit does NOT make Harvard (or any school) a trade school; it simply means the institution is fulfilling its mission to educate the most capable students. Confusing merit-based admissions with vocational training reflects bigotry and lack of intelligence.[/quote] This article says nothing about merit based admissions though...[/quote]
