[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought you all were against legacy admissions (3rd Gen in this case)? [/quote]

This discussion is about whether Harvard and Yale made a mistake in admitting them holistically on non-academic criteria.  The answer is no, they advance the cause and profile of those colleges in a way that benefits them immensely.  Certainly more than some anonymous smart kid with 200 more SAT points.

[quote=Anonymous]Funny that you think Yale had anything to do with his success. He is a classic case of someone whose background and connections would have made him successful in life whether or not he had gone to Yale.  A first gen college student would have benefitted more from that spot.  [/quote]

Another entire bunch of points no one is arguing.  The question is whether Yale made a mistake in admitting him.  The answer is no.

[quote=Anonymous]Are Hogg and Thunberg “successful activists?” [/quote]

Yes.  Extremely.  Thunberg was Time's person of the year for god's sake.  Get with the program.

And for the record this has nothing to do with agreeing with their politics and I think GWB was a terrible president.  The question is was Yale right to accept him, and the answer is absolutely, yes, as he became a US president.[/quote]
