Is there anyone at all enrolled in Harvard based upon academic merit? It seems not.

SATs were created to help find the best and brightest across the fruited plains and the heartland; those outside the well-connected incestuous east-coast elites.

They have long since been jettisoned in favor of political correctness and those with connections or a sob story.

It's a damn shame.

A good indication that the administrators had to know, including the president and the board.

Universities are as corrupt as Washington DC

A while ago I dated a woman who was a Harvard grad. She told me that a classmate of hers,who was the Vice Chancellor of Admissions at Harvard,told her that were it not for the school's affirmative admissions policy (and legacy admissions) the entire Freshman Class would consist of Asians and Jews.

“Not quite the elite of the elite.”

Depends on what your idea of ‘elite’ is.

Harvard is a private school. Regardless of feelings about diversity or fairness, they are entitled to admit whomever they please.

I wouldn’t want my kids to go to that school.

Yeah, I know a couple of Harvard grads and they are pure legacy/donor related people. They’re also quite dumb and unreliable, so it’s amazing that they were allowed to get through Harvard.

Same with Stanford. Unless you are a recruited athlete, an American oligarch or foreign dictator’s child, a major donor’s kid, or a preferred minority unicorn, your chances of admittance go from the published 1:20 rate, to about 1:200

So the students "of color" are there on Affirmative Action and the "colorless" students are there from donations or connections.

How is one of those categories more "privileged" than the other?

Why not create a blind admissions system based solely on academic merit?

In other words it’s not the best and brightest but the most well connected that attend.

There are over 3000 institutions of high education in America, iirc. A number of them will provide a world class education in your field of endeavor. People need to take Harvard off its pedestal and give these other institutions a look.

As a Yale grad I can confirm that these schools are now primarily interested in admitting people “of color” and of trans-sexuality of one sort or another. There is no more room for raw intelligence. The diploma means very little.

The Ivy leagues have been more about career connections for the elite than higher education for 150+ years. I’m surprised it’s not actually much higher.

Typical, white liberal elites want affirmative action to block other more capable whites from taking their children’s spot at Harvard while handing out biscuits to minorities...
