Harvard reported a 17% drop in early admissions applications compared to last year
...
A college admissions consultant is in "complete shock" as students are rejecting their early acceptance to Harvard for the first time in his career.
"Virtually every student I've ever worked with who got into Harvard early pretty much stopped [looking elsewhere]," Christopher Rim,
...
This is the first time and first application season where I've seen a student who got into Harvard early that I've worked with for almost three and a half, four years now, starting in ninth grade — we're seeing them say, ‘You know what? I want to apply to other schools because what if I graduate and this stigma and this reputation of Harvard stays the same?’ That's their true concern."
...
The elite Ivy League institution reported last week that its early application total took a 17% decline from last year,
...
This is the first time this has happened," he continued. "Normally, my student will get into Harvard or a top-tier school, and then that'll be it. We're done. So congratulations. We've finished the process, but now we're seeing students say, ‘You know what? Let me double think this. Let me think about other options.’"
Rim added that reputation remains a chief factor in determining where students wish to go to college, but they are beginning to realize that Ivy League schools are not the only options for a great education, and are turning to institutions like Vanderbilt or Duke instead.
We've seen tremendous increase and actually know applications are up. Duke reported over 1,000 more applicants than any previous early decision round, and that represents pretty much a 28% increase this year over last year for the early rounds, which is significant. That just shows you the demand,"

Sure, the Harvard leadership talks the talk, but I won’t believe they are true Nazis until they put David Duke on the faculty.
Tee Hee
Read their journals and you will conclude they are major poseurs babbling nonsense.
Harvard is the abstract expressionism of academia. You know, the solid blue canvas with the broken pencil hole. Or, unpainted canvas with the grocery list scribbled on one side. The emperors clothes thing.
Just go to Google Scholar, get some of their publications and try to make sense of them. Pure shit.
Come to think of it, that would explain a lot of the incompetence and the low ethical quality of 'our leaders'...
Harvard on its way to becoming a predominantly minority institution.
Oh well - good marching band and sports teams.
If I was young, bright, and “diverse” enough for Harvard, the first thing I’d do is turn in a plagiarized paper. I’d be there daring them to enforce their “code” so I could sue them for the disparate and discriminatory treatment.
The leftists are totally disconnected from reality, if they are shocked by this.
“The only thing Harvard has going for it is reputation - the quality of a Harvard education is in no provable way better than the quality of an education at any decent state university. And Harvard is busy dismantling its reputation as quickly as possible.”
I have an uncle who’s a Harvard grad, and he’s about as sharp as a sack full of wet mice.
Oh he’s also an ultra leftie, and anytime I would say “Trump” he turns beet red and has veins bulging out of his head.🤣
Harvard is destroying its brand with wokism just like Budweiser did.
I recommend we all use Poison Ivy League.
I would not bet against you on this.
bttt
Wish we had a like button!

Biden will put her on his reelection team to preach discuss education and how Conservatism is destroying the educational system in the US.
