Non-western immigration must be ended in order for us to remain a western country.

Had he changed his name to something African American sounding or Spanish he’d have been a shoo-in.

As far as Harvard goes, they have over $50 billion in endowments. Enough to increase the capacity of their starting classes, pay for staffing and professors AND completely pay for all entrants’ tuitions. Nothing but intentionally restricted elitism and greed.

1590 SAT score is not unusual at and Ivy League school. At Cornell in the 60’s just about everyone had 1600 on their SAT’s.

Looked it up out of curiosity, every year about 300 to 500 achieve a 1600.

Ivy League schools provide American’s new leaders... most based on sexual kink, color, or NEPO - powerful daddy.

One look at our institutions tells the story: Merit is out... Intelligence is out. And the concept of having the ‘best and brightest’ is dead in the water.

If you have doubts check out VP Harris and everyone else in the Biden Administration.

The SATs are t what they used to be. Extracurricular stuff is pretty important. If they had good grades, but nothing else…they aren’t getting into the Ivy League.

Yup, spending a summer working for Habitat for Humanity is almost a requirement.

Imply that he is transgendered. They will fall over each other to admit him.

Most, in fact few, valedictorians have 1590 SATs.

Every year the media heralds some Black kid who got “accepted to 22 colleges with full scholarships...and not one word is said about their test scores.

Conservatives should open colleges where only the best and brightest are accepted. In 20 years they’ll totally replace the Ivy’s...

I had a high school friend who had perfect grades and SAT. He went to Yale and was rejected by Harvard. These days after the “elite” colleges fill up their incoming classes with athletes and minorities there are not many slots left for everybody else.

African immigrants don’t count as “real” blacks because they came to America to work and prosper and lack the “systemic racism” that American blacks have had to suffer through for generations. (/sarc)

There are over 3000 colleges in America and there is room enough for just about all qualified students to go somewhere to learn something, post high school. I live in a community that has a lot of Asian Americans, many of whom are Christian and patriotic. It’s fine with me if those kids or ones like them grow up to run the country.
But the real point I was making is that leaders in America come from all kinds of different colleges. Not being Ivy League should not hold anyone back.

Dang. I had a few friends that were close to that high. Probably ended up in the NSA or doctors or the CIA analysis crunchers,

This is America’s #1 problem. Libtards in control of the ivy leagues acting as ‘gatekeepers’ to the next generation of ‘leaders’. Trump would be wise to blacklist anyone from ivy league colleges in his next admin. appointments.

Very true. Could be the recruiting reps met him in person and were turned off by him somehow.

I briefly worked with a Chinese-American data analyst that graduated from an Ivy. He was brilliant, no doubt...he was also a major insufferable jerk. “Little Emperor Syndrome” personified. When he lateraled to another department and left our area, the entire floor breathed a big sigh of relief.

These days, being from an ‘ivy league’ school should automatically disqualify the applicant. They are communist indoctrination centers.

A good friend works at a feline rescue operation. A wonderful person and a heart of gold. She gives everyone the benefit of the doubt.

But she dreads having younger volunteers (who do it for resume’ enhancement on college applications) come on board.

She told us a month ago or so, about a girl that was handed a broom and had no idea how to even begin to effectively use it. She also could not tell time unless it was a digital clock.

Probably knows all 72 genders and every Kardasian boyfriend of the last 15 years, though!
