Storytelling....
I can see his first published work. David, the Dorito Headed Douche. |

Well, Harvard claims to accept students who have the potential to change the world, so it sort of makes sense.
Perhaps they believe he'll have as much effect as Lenin/Castro/Mugabe/Mao? |

Honors, AP and IB courses are out of 5.0 (A would be a 5.0). How in the hell did Hogg get accepted? Those are rookie numbers. Getting a sub-1300 score on the SAT should be an automatic denial. Lol View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

His grades are fine for many schools. The schools that declined him have seen this guy operate and want no part of him. He would turn on them in a heartbeat if it served his purposes.
Harvard can have him. Good luck what that Cambridge folk. |

Uh, right Phil...in Mr. Melon's defense it was a really big check.

Don't care, I'm not aware of anything good that has ever come from Harvard, and I'm not expecting that to change.
Higher education in America is a joke, just like the rest of the education system. All will whither blister burn & die when the collapse comes. |

OK, so he got accepted... isn't Harvard like 50 grand a semester? Who's paying for that?
And if he's academically a stump, how is he going to pass? Is Harvard known for rubber stamping media darlings through their programs? He is going to either flunk out and be drowning in student debt or survive to be last in his class and drowning in student debt. Sounds like this is the christmas ribbon on the end of a big metal dildo to me. |

If the media determines daily US policy and the official government handles the multi-year scale, Harvard sets American policy for the 2-3 decade range. He's in the right place.

Political/family admissions to high end schools is a thing. Hell it probably is a thing at ALL institutions of higher learning.
(I was accepted by Harvard for professional school, I thankfully didn't go since that would have picked up $300k or more in debt.) |

I'm not very impressed by his grades or his test scores. They seem like average numbers, not ivy league numbers. Someone called in a favor to help him.
My SAT and ACT scores from the '80s is high enough to get into Mensa but I didn't get into Harvard. (Though I didn't apply so that probably had something to do with it.) I did actually join Mensa by sending in my ACT scores but the scrabble parties were boring so I let my membership lapse. |

Why don't they just give him a PhD in Philosophy, grant him a job as a Professor with tenure so that he can molest like minded Freshmen there for the rest of his life. 1270 is a shit score for most top schools including state universities. Harvard is typically looking for 1500 super score (best score of verbal plus math from any test). |

Max is 1600.
Princeton says 1200 isn't really cutting it, although it's above the average of 1060 in the year 2017. A score of 1200 on the SAT is above the current national average and will make you a strong applicant at many universities, but it may fall below the average score for accepted students at more selective colleges. From Harvard's website and FAQs: The 25th percentile for admitted students on the SAT is about 1470; the 75th percentile is about 1570. He said Harvard sends recruitment letters to African-American, Native American and Hispanic high schoolers with mid-range SAT scores, around 1100 on math and verbal combined out of a possible 1600.
Asian-Americans only receive a recruitment letter if they score at least 250 points higher — 1350 for women, and 1380 for men. Fitzsimmons explained a similar process for white wannabe students in states that don’t see a lot of Harvard attendees, like Montana or Nevada. Students in those states would receive a recruitment letter if they had at least a 1310 on their SATs. “That’s race discrimination, plain and simple,” John Hughes, a lawyer for Students for Fair Admissions, challenged the dean. |

1270 SAT? Good luck competing with the Chinese at
Harvard. 4.2 gpa. Go be dumb somewhere else. I know an Indian friend who got a 6.2. Seriously. Full ride to Pharmacy school. When I grew up 4.0 was best in HS and in grade school 69 was Fail. Now it’s 59 at my sons school. |

I'm sure it's very hard to fail out if you were actually accepted on the merits of your academic achievement. Accepted doesn't mean enrolled and even if he enrolls there are any number of ways to get him out of the school without actually failing him if Harvard thinks their little stunt is going to end up embarrassing them.

View Quote Average SAT for Harvard’s most recent entering class that I could find was 1520, and 1270 is well below even their 25th percentile number. And a 4.2 GPA is not particularly competitive unless his school didn’t offer much of any AP or IB classes. |
