I guess another question is why did this marginal student even apply to go to Hawvard? Who told him he had a chance? It takes effort and money to apply to a college, particularly Hawvard. Why did he apply and when it’s common knowledge that Hawvard will immediately dispose of the application of any white guy whose SATs are below 1500.
I certainly didn’t apply to Hawvard, and I doubt any of Trump’s 60 Million or so Deplorables did (at least I hope not). What, exactly, motivated him?
Harvard is not a merit bases school
It is affirmative action
It is legacy based
It is “getting an interesting crossection”
I don’t think it has ever been merit based
MIT on the other hand...
What motivated him!.......( or WHO)
....especially since he failed to get in the 2 or 3 colleges he DID apply to.
