Harvard must have known that, too.
But they took him anyway.
That's their choice. It's on them.
If they're going to take somebody who is widely known to be underqualified it would be stupid if there were fraud or bribery involved.
Plus, they have an out: he has a "learning disability" but has "distinguished himself" in other ways.
I don’t think they advertise that way...at least when my kids were applying for college.
What motivated him!.......( or WHO)
....especially since he failed to get in the 2 or 3 colleges he DID apply to.
Of course they didn’t.
but the seats are apportioned.
Agreed. But I'd say young David's parents failed him long ago.
I won’t argue that.
I believe David Attention Hogg is part of the scandal with college admissions.
I didn’t know Harvard had underwater basket weaving courses.
Perhaps if we’re lucky the students will look at each other wondering who bought their way in versus who earned their way in and the infighting will be delicious. Hopefully they just destroy each other.
He got in for being a camera hogg with his mug constantly on tv. He got in on the dead students’ backs.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
His own money or George Soros’ money... I don’t think the university cares where it comes from
One has to ask what Hogg’s plans were prior to the Parkland shootings. Did he aspire to Harvard before the shootings or did he take advantage of the “fame” he received off of the backs of the dead students. Wonder what he would be doing now if there hadn’t been a school massacre.
How can something be a "scholarship" if it's not based on academic achievement but based on the parents financial situation? Until I told them to FO and leave me alone (about 20 times in a row) my old undergraduate institution (not Harvard) used to call me on a regular basis wanting me to donate money to a scholarship fund. Every time I would ask them is this means tested? and the answer was always yes help some deserving kid go to "Screw U" My next question was if you're segregating kids based on lack of parental responsibility and industry why should I help someone who is probably NOT in the group of best scholars, but only in the top group of students whose parents didn't have the foresight and financial discipline to provide for their kid's college education and having been raised in that atmosphere is probably also lacking in financial discipline. That usually left them spluttering.
Academically Harvard is a joke. Nobody fails anymore. It’s a big party now. Once in you are part of the club. The profs are in on it too.
Come on, he was accepted so that Harvard could make a political statement on gun control, not because of this scandal.
We Freepers look like morons when we fall for something like believing this.
Have you been living under a rock? Reverse discrimination against whites and Asians has been going on for 4 DECADES.
Hogg
Looks like Howdy Doody.
Look it up you young folks.
Virtue-signalling on the part of the Harvard admissions committee.
The profs must be in on it. They keep passing them once they get in. All should be fired.
