Yes it most certainly is.



And, even with re-norming of the SAT, a 1270 still isn’t up to par for Harvard.

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?

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.

Of course he will. His liberal professors will give him A's just for his political activism. Besides no one at Harvard even gets a C the professors have to seriously hate you in a personal way for you to get one. Harvard is notorious for grade inflation.

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.

That chart is out of date again.  They redid the SAT again in 2016 and the chart is from 2015.  The current SAT is supposed to be more like the one of old.

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.
Princeton Review

From Harvard's website and FAQs:

The 25th percentile for admitted students on the SAT is about 1470; the 75th percentile is about 1570.
Lawyer files suit for gender, race, and regional discrimination against Harvard

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.
So looks like Hogg's scores would be well below the norm if Harvard is looking at him as a white male.  I wonder why they're giving him preferential treatment over black and Native American females, as well as Asians who smoke his scores by hundreds of points?

Can you explain how that’s possible? I have two daughters that just entered college and a high school teacher for a wife. As far as I know 5.0 is the highest grade possible and as a GPA it’s impossible to achieve unless all you take are weighted classes, which is unlikely to impossible depending on your school.

Those are actually below average numbers for UF, and (obviously) also well below average for Harvard.

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.
