Agreed. The kid is obnoxious, but I don’t blame him for taking every opportunity he can. I’m torn since it’s on the backs of his dead classmates, but that isn’t changing, so I guess I don’t blame him.

He'll waste his entire college experience with activism.. then he'll be considered "educated".

It's a shame the most big name universities are just liberal cesspools that put more focus on protesting in favor of pro Democrat bullshite, and less focus on actually educating their students.

They will give him the grades. They won't let him fail.

His application probably is more impressive now with the gap year. Not all kids are able, but if you can, take advantage. Everyone should know there’s plenty of kids that get into ivies because of what they bring to the school in diversity, and this goes both ways. Someone his age that gets on Fox News or works with the National Party would get into Harvard undergrad without stellar academic stats. Probably just wouldn’t make news

bullshite. Two of the five little Progteenbots on the Time cover are on their way to Harvard. 40% of them end up at the nations preeminent University. That doesn't just happen. Their path for Progressive Advocacy and decades of Progressive shitbaggery has been cleared by the Ruling Class. Period.


Everything above is true. This is a complete farce.

Didn’t U Fla reject this kid?


UF admitted 36% of it's applicants. The average kid admitted has a 4.4 GPA in high school.

I am unaware of DH's GPA, but would guess he was admitted to Harvard based on a different set of criterion.

Many schools admit on a holistic basis rather than a formulaic one. Frankly, the lower-ranked a school is the more they care about test scores. A school like Harvard doesn’t have to worry about their students having high test scores. Instead they make room for legacies and diversity and kids who have impressive extra-curricular resumés like Hogg.

They have the lowest failure/dropout rates


This probably has something to do with the overwhelming majority of their students being fricking geniuses. Yeah, they’ll accept the David Hogg here and there when strings are pulled, but look at the average ACT scores of their student body.

An Asian girl at my kid’s school had a perfect 36 on her ACT TWICE and still got rejected by her top choice. One of my son’s best friends (half black, half Asian) who has a sister at Yale got a 34 and got rejected by his first 4 choices (which included a couple Ivys). Those schools are hard to get in for a reason. Of course the kids who get in are going to do well.

More evidence that Harvard is more of a training ground for political activists than one of the world's greatest institutions of higher learning.

These are not mutually exclusive.

Hardly...it’s a known fact that the hardest part about Harvard is getting in...

This is where grade inflation was invented...
