Hogg got a 1270 on his SAT. The bottom 25% at Harvard have an average of 1460. Really shows how the admissions decisions are subjective. Interesting to consider this in context of lawsuit against Harvard for discriminating against Asian students with higher scores.

Outrageously subjective favoritism. Kids with that score would be told by guidance counselors all over America to not bother applying.

@EdJames I in  a coffee shop on Nassau Street today with a friend and we were talking about how much Princeton has changed since the millennium. It made us both kind of sad.

I guess it was inevitable.

But not one word will be said about White Privilege in Hogg's case, because it's all about the politics, if you are liberal enough it doesn't matter how stupid or White you are. Just look how far Ted Kennedy went, dumb as rock, an insulate to rocks everywhere, White guy, liberal and illicit fortune was all that was important.

This is his reward for being the Left's useful idiot. All of these people get paid for doing the Left's bidding. Look at what that Christine Blasey Ford got (over a million dollars and now special appearance fees/perks for telling "her story")

So he'll turn into a dumbass version of Ted Kaczynski.  Watch for him to pass through UNC somewhere along the way.

A story from 2013 shows how far Harvard has fallen, academically:

Harvard, other schools still fighting grade inflation
By Marcella Bombardieri Globe Staff
  December 05, 2013

Harvard College is facing a new round of disapproval, and even ridicule, from some educators following news that the most common grade awarded is an A, more than a decade after professors pledged to combat grade inflation.

Critics say that making top grades the norm cheapens the hard work of the best students and reinforces the deluded self-regard of many members of the millennial generation.

Yet Harvard has illustrious company among universities struggling with how to turn the tide on several decades of rising marks. ...

“Harvard is leading the nation once again,” Levine said Wednesday, with considerable irony. “This is a generation which has grown up without skinning their knees. They’ve all won awards: best trombone player born on April 25. They’re used to having approbation.

“Given inflated self-esteem, it’s not a good thing to give them high grades, because it only encourages a false sense of what they can and cannot do,” he said.  ...

Gee, it's almost as though Mr. Levine has met young Hogg!

@mountaineer

Not to worry. I don't see Hogg staying them for more than a year or two before he drops out and begins his run for Congress or the US Senate.

You don't have to do all that boring learning stuff if you already know everything.

[Applewood]

I'm waiting for some minority to file suit.   Sounds like "white privilege" to me.  LOL

[dfwgator]

Sounds like Hogg needs to check his White Privilege.

[goatprairie]

I'm sure all the good liberals at Harvard decided they were going to get him in by hook or by crook...mostly by crook.
They probably hate the smug, little pri*k as much as we do, but by getting him into the supposedly most prestigious center of learning (or propaganda) in the country, they're throwing a major jab at conservatives.

Do they still have the Harvard Lampoon?

No doubt, some American student of Asian descent was rejected by Harvard so that young Attention Hogg could put his attendance there on his resume.

He doesn't meet ANY of the admittance requirements.  That said Harvard and Hogg deserve each other.

Sure he does.  It's a poke in the eye to "our kind," and that "trumps" (pun intended) all the other stupid academic crap.

[RetBobbyMI]

Harvard just lowered the bar for everyone else. Now if the start rejecting other low performers, they will have major lawsuits on their hands.

"Harvard doesn’t even have an undergrad political science department. The closest major they have is Government"....is being said on twitter.

Yes, they're really on the ball at Harvard:

In Wake Of Minority Transcript Fraud Scandal, Ivy League Silent On Admissions Process
by Tyler Durden
Thu, 12/27/2018 - 18:15
Authored by Ryan Everson via The College Fix

A private school has been accused of numerous unethical practices to help its minority students gain acceptance to prestigious universities including Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, and Yale, and these universities are refusing to clarify how they were fooled by the fraudulent records or how they plan to improve their admissions process to prevent it in the future.  ...

A recent bombshell report in The New York Times revealed that much of these accomplishments were false.  ...

    “In reality, the school falsified transcripts, made up student accomplishments and mined the worst stereotypes of black America to manufacture up-from-hardship tales that it sold to Ivy League schools hungry for diversity,” the paper reported.  ...

According to The New York Times, Landry recorded grades higher than those actually earned and gave its students credit for rigorous classes they did not take. The school also provided inaccurate letters of recommendation which listed falsified extracurricular accomplishments. ...

Note that the article is how Harvard got fooled about "minority" applicants, but I suspect young Attention Hogg - his aptitude, his accomplishments - is just as fraudulent.

He'll go into journalism. He's guaranteed a job when he gets out. He's the face of the Millennial Nazi Party.

He'll be running the place and sexually abusing interns in no time flat. In the liberal universe, the dregs rise to the top instead of the cream.
