This is VERY true. Unfortunately, a not insignificant number of Harvard students can't gain acceptance to the "social club".
This is true. I know quite a few who it has MAYBE helped professionally (the brand power impresses headhunters) but they don’t talk to anyone they went to college with. There is no Ivy network they’re tapping. If you’re dumb and/or financial aid, you’re going to be ostracized. Smart kids can tell you’re the “dummy” very quickly.

Again, bold part is not true for middle class people.
It's a manufactred fantasy for the rich people in the social club.

That's the old Harvard.
In the new Harvard it signals you're wealthy or connected or the token minority.
Ah, the embittered tears of the rejected. Sweet, sweet nectar.
Nice coping mechanism
DP and Double Harvard grad here. No, it’s true. Legacies or minorities.everyone knows this
Yup
+1
Oh good grief. Legacy? 15% of the class. URMs? 27%. Can you add those together and tell the class what you get?
False. The Harvard suit showed us that 43% of Harvard’s class is legacies, athletes or related to big donors
First, the Harvard data showed 43% of WHITE admits were ALDC. Get your facts straight.
Second, that misstated fact is complete irrelevant to the idiotic claim that only legacies and minorities are at Harvard.
This racist school let in more than 50% of the students backdoor.
This is a glorified country club
So don’t apply. It’s not like anyone is forcing you to do anything here.
Exactly!!!!
Why would dumb people apply to join my country club?
Banish them all, those blue collar dummies.
No, just you and your kids.

Wow. This thread! I am a Harvard grad and it is t perfect by any means but it has among the most generous financial aid in the country. Admissions is still really hard for everyone. — a country club? Give me a beak.

Nothing bad with country clubs, but they should update the motto to something like "Insane Fees to Make Insane Money"
