You are idiots!

And yes, that hold’s true for GW Bush’s admission to Yale. Despite his poor academics, he became a US president. Do you think he was a bad selection for admission?

LOL. David Hogg ain't GW Bush.

Can you back up your statement with data? Citation? Where do you get your information?

"A Crimson analysis of the previously confidential dataset — which spans admissions cycles starting with the Class of 2000 and ends with the cycle for the Class of 2017 — revealed that Asian-Americans admitted to Harvard earned an average SAT score of 767 across all sections. Every section of the SAT has a maximum score of 800.

By comparison, white admits earned an average score of 745 across all sections, Hispanic-American admits earned an average of 718, Native-American and Native-Hawaiian admits an average of 712, and African-American admits an average of 704."

The article only discusses SAT scores. It says nothing about being a “social justice activist” or having “ideological homogeneity”. Try again.

DP. See, e.g., David Hogg. Harvard admit, 1270 SAT. Must be worth more like 400 points.

It should also be noted that Hogg's much-ballyhooed "4.2 GPA" was like a B- average if you know anything about the way Florida high schools weight grades. The top students in Broward are well above a 5.0. Peruse his Twitter feed if you're bored. Kid can't even spell or formulate a coherent sentence. But hey, he's woke AF!

You has a sad! So many bad feels!

PP has a point, though. First generation counts for a lot more now than it used to!

That wasn't the part the sarcastic response was intended to address. It was directed at the snowflake-y parts.

I would agree with that poster, and I don't think she's a snowflake. The social justice warriors are the snowflakes! And that's the ethos you have to have.
