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.”

Political grandstanding from leftists.

Not surprised.

I would be surprised if he actually graduated on his own merit though.

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?

TRIP DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE: Remember when UCF DENIED him?

Well, he had a 2-something GPA in California and scored only triple-digits on his SAT.

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

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.

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.

An "A" in AP and honors classes counts as a 5.0 for your GPA. A 4.0 GPA is not good enough anymore.

edit- beat like a rented mule. BTW, one of my daughters had a 4.1 GPA and a 1530 SAT, didn't get in to Harvard.

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.

A 1270 converts to a 26 ACT.  My 8th grader got a 1240 on the SAT

I'm sure it's very hard to fail out if you were actually accepted on the merits of your academic achievement.

Mr. Hogg, who carries a 4.2 GPA and scored 1270 on the SAT.
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.

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.

The SAT has been re-normed a couple of times since the 1980s. A 1270 today is like an 1100 back then.
