[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard has a 3 percent admissions rate and just 1650 freshman . My kid is there now - National merit scholarship winner, 11 APs (including the hard ones like Calc BC, Physics. chem, lit. apush , foreign language) - with 5s on all if them. Many national awards in academic areas. Currently working their butt off at Harvard . Not unprepared and not getting east As. If there are a lot of kids getting As, it’s because they are super hardworking [/quote] “Hardworking” isn’t the measure. The study found that students are having to work hard because they’re less prepared than students used to be (despite inflated HS grades and test scores). The study found that the number of hours worked by students didn’t drop much, but Professors say the students can’t do as much reading as they used to, etc. Meanwhile, the average GPA has gone up dramatically.
