Such lashing out and personal attacks - over the good news that a teenager which was impacted by a mass shooting has been accepted into a prestigious university .
Over a more deserving candidate. You forgot that part. The part where someone who has worked hard, made better grades, and made a higher SAT score was left out.
I'm going to guess you don't have a kid who applied, with better qualifications and didn't get in. <<< see what I did there? I made it about you instead of the topic.
Please show me your posts where you held Mr. Camera Hogg accountable over his personal attacks. Or did you give him a pass on that too?
What are you talking about? It is what they do. He's not making it up.
Haven't you seen the "reveal" about this? They do in fact let in unqualified minorities in order to achieve "diversity", which would otherwise be limited to Asians. There's an entire class action lawsuit over this. It has been a major news item.
As a result of this misguided racist social-engineering practice, blacks and hispanics are massively OVER-represented at Harvard. This means that better qualified non-Hispanic Whites and Asians have been discriminated against based solely on their skin color/ethnicity. Exactly the kind of intolerable racism that the left purports to condemn.
Of course they don't *really* condemn it; they only condemn it when they think it negatively impacts their special-interest voter blocs.
A variant of robbing Peter to pay Paul and getting Pauls support.
His scores show he doesn't have the academic acumin to truly be at Harvard. He was obviously accepted for his notoriety. Will be interesting if he can stay enrolled on his merits.
It's obvious that Harvard hopes he can lead or be a symbolic part of a future gun control effort....that's why he was admitted.
By the way, even though blacks and Native Americans get admitted with much lower scores than Asians and whites, Hogg's scores fall well below the average of blacks and NA admitted to Harvard.
I actually think he will struggle to keep up with his classmates or just get lost....my SAT scores are well above his and I don't think I would make it at Harvard.
My husband got a combined 950 out of 1600 and graduated with nearly perfect GPA at undergrad and went on to get a PhD (in the hard sciences). He has always loved that field of study and pursued it unapologetically.
My score was 1460 out of 1600 and I struggled at the "good" college I went to because I forced myself through a major I hated and had no aptitude for. As soon as I switched majors (from Business Administration to Econ), my grades shot up.
It's not so much the college (provided it's an accredited legit university) as it is pursuing the right path of study.
Yes, getting into Harvard used to mean something and now it really doesn't.
I gotta admit...I'd be a lot more impressed if he had been accepted into Rensselaer Polytechic Institute or MIT. Getting accepted by those schools, obviously, is still an outstanding achievement.
But then again, in stark contrast to the Harvard example, it's difficult to imagine Rensselaer or MIT accepting an applicant with a mediocre SAT score such the 1270 posted by Mr. Hogg.
It was so mean-spirited of her to go after a 17-year-old victim of a high school mass shooting.
He was not a victim, and it was not mean-spirited. It was NICE-spirited because she was standing up for the millions of people Hogg is trying to hurt.
