Interesting development
https://www.tmz.com/2018/12/21/parkland-marjory-stoneman-douglas-david-hogg-enrolling-harvard/ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6521251/Parkland-shooting-survivor-turned-gun-control-activist-David-Hogg-18-accepted-Harvard.html Interesting development, considering some of the schools that rejected him. Also this, from the NYT in March: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/us/parkland-students-college-admission.html ... Mr. Hogg got his first college application letter back: a rejection from California State University at Long Beach. At least two more denials followed, along with acceptances to three universities. “Sure, it’s disappointing and annoying, but not surprising. There are a lot of amazing people who do not get into or go to college,” said Mr. Hogg, who carries a 4.2 GPA and scored 1270 on the SAT. “I wanted to make a difference through storytelling and political activism, but I am already doing that now.” @neshomamench Attached File |

Political grandstanding from leftists.
Not surprised. I would be surprised if he actually graduated on his own merit though. |

Did you hear that?
It was the sound of Harvard’s reputation cracking. |

Mr. Hogg, who carries a 4.2 GPA and scored 1270 on the SAT. “I wanted to make a difference through storytelling and political activism, but I am already doing that now.”
I'm old so help me out. In my school days 4.0 GPA is an "A" Grade. How does one get a 4.2 GPA? |

Now he magically had good grades, good scores - and now Harvard. Being a Commie seems to pay off. |

Getting a sub-1300 score on the SAT should be an automatic denial. Lol |

My gifted child got a 1260 in 7th grade. She couldn't get into Harvard.

It's pretty hard for a non legacy white, non Jew, non POC to get into Harvard.

A liberal bastion champions the sock puppet of the billionaire puppet master? And I am surprised why?

He will find a safe space on campus to protest his views.
He would probably find ways to shut down opposing views. Too bad he did not get to UC Berkeley, that would fit that little Nazi to a T. |

Berkley gets all the play with conservatives as the liberal hot spot in the U.S. Let me tell you folks that Cambridge, MA is quietly the petri dish for the worst liberal filth! One difference, the police there would in fact be thumping skulls if protesters pulled the crap like they do in Berkley. The police did crack allot of hippie skull during the Vietnam war protests that went on there. See example below.

Hahhhvard is a running joke. They have been letting in the unfortunate for some time while excluding qualified candidates.
Harvard ain't Harvard any more. |
|
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.

I scored top 3 percent in multiple college placement exams and couldn't get into Harvard. I'm a white, straight Male from the conservative midwest though I guess

great job starting a year late while getting nothing done for legislation

Probably bumped an Asian kid with twice the IQ who would have cured cancer or tripled our 401k's or something.

I don't use the phrase often, but that is virtue signaling at its finest.
His grades would be under par for a minority refugee with a letter of rec from the Pope. But a boring white kid from florida without any special skills or talents? |
|
Well he does like it up the ass...
not that there is anything wrong with that |
|
I wonder how big a contribution his multi millionaire father coughed up to make that happen?
Extension wing on the law library maybe? This is actually a good thing cause he will be WAY too busy to run around frowning with his little fist up in the air! |

A 1270 converts to a 26 ACT. My 8th grader got a 1240 on the SAT
My 12th grader got a 35 on the ACT. He has loser scores |

as a Harvard graduate, probably a future senator of Florida, before he begins his democrat White House campaign.

1270 is not even close to good enough for Harvard unless you are a sought after minority or talented athlete.
The only people I know who got into Ivy’s had 1400-1600 on their SAT’s. 1270 is marginal for any top 100 school for a white or Asian kid. |

1270 SAT is pretty respectable. View Quote |
