Harvard is not prestigious anymore

[sandaltan]

Have you not read my post above? Income/hardship has nothing to do with success!

Infact i would argue that rich kids typically have a disadvantage because everything is handed to them on a silver platter. Plenty of examples where rich kids turn out to be total ****ups. Why do you think rich people like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and Mark Z plan on giving their wealth to charity after they die.


Liberals of peace...nobody should be handed anything in life..people should work for everything they get.

since we're just spouting pure unadulterated opinions i think that income/hardship has plenty to do with success

1) Correction: You aren't talking about affirmative action, we are. The OP is about the precense of unintelligent Black people at Harvard. This precense is only possible because of affirmative action. It's quite easy then to see why we're talking about affirmative action.

2) While you're wrong about affirmative action benefiting White people, it doesn't matter. Even if it did benefit White people, it would still be unfair and unmeritocratic. It would still result in unqualified Black people being present at elite institutions like Harvard.

3) NPC meme may apply to Right wingers who have gotten their ideas from Fox their whole life. That describes very few young people on the Right. Most of us were liberals or moderates at some point, before we were exposed to data online that made us think "Huh, guess I was wrong."

What is "precense"?

[fezjones]

And let's not forget the admissions office is stacked with ivy alums, so these people are just as dumb as these fake students. Even if u hand waive it by saying the admissions is just going along with political forces, they are idiots for thinking the goyim is too dumb to notice.

[EoR]

College as a whole isn't prestigious anymore. Saturated with pointless, redundant degrees and you can get in comfortably with a C average. Most degrees are just glorified high-school diplomas but the respectable ones like in the STEM field still have high social value.

OP clearly race baiting

But the reality is college in general is no longer prestigious

This includes Harvard and any other Ivy League school. The market has been flooded and you’re clueless if you think they’re teaching anything different at Harvard than state schools.

All you get by going to Harvard or Ivy League is stronger connections, if that

[seanb1979]

It's very prestigious for asians since they make it much harder for them to get in.

[Nostradamus15]

[VTheKing]

that's why my alma mater now requires applicants to write personal essays and then film themselves answering admission questions

lol @ people saying prestige doesn't matter anymore though. having profs that actually teach and help you, being surrounded by bright students who try hard, being able to build relevant work experience on campus and access to institutional/alumni connections are all ****ing huge factors in your intellectual development, social circles and future career prospects.

Lol please go ...its not a secret that black people are literally getting into schools based on race. This Indian pretended to be black so he can get into med school. Average student in his med school had 3.7 GPA he had 3.1 GPA and got in because black. Its not racism ...you can call it racism but in reality its facts.

BRB black person ... need 3.0 gpa to get in.... brb Asian need 4.0 HOW IS THAT NOT FUKKIN RACIST

lmao at indian brah here redpilling the CNN audience with "pocahontas factor"


lmao wonder if any senators are familiar with that tactic. cough cough

Affirmative action of piss

[baroni01]

People are buying their way into Harvard?!?!?!

Spoiler!

AAAhahahahaha this is not new, they started doing this in 1636. Hell, they named the school after the highest contributor of funds at the time...

Pretty much woman. None of that maters. "Progressives" have taken over academia.

[r0bo]

itt: people who went to community college or tradies bitching about schools they could never get in to.

[hotsaucebrah]

Imagine how dumb recruiters at these IVY league schools feel when these kids get to their first semester and realize they can't do 9th grade level math and can barely read.

Athletes and legacies can be the same.

[GenocideAttack]

Yeah so what if they get in? iv league classes are no fukkin joke and it doesn't help to pass when the students are the biggest tryhards.


Lol at the usual retards in this thread saying their community college is education is as good as iv league

Student body is going to be smarter than any State U school for the most part.

[Reliance012]

Yes, unquestionably it is easier to be admitted into academic institutions if you are a minority, particularly black. The sad fact about this is that it doesn’t help these communities, it hurts them. When Cali got rid of affirmative action at public colleges, minority acceptance rates initially dropped but then gradually increased to the point where they are now on par with whites and don’t need a race handicap to get in. Why? Because instead lessening standards to get in, the state was forced to fight the root of the problem, and subsequently spent more money on urban primary education projects and outreach.

[elterrible987]

I really don't understand the racism towards blacks, I don't. I try to, but can't come to anything conclusion. Did Jerome say mean things to you in class and everyone laughed? Did Tyrone fuk your mother in front of your father? I'm sure most of you live nowhere near ghetto blacks, so I don't understand Somewhere, some black guy had to do something to make people angry. There's a deep hatred.


As for Harvard not being prestigious, well you have to do the classwork or else you get kicked out. And I guarantee non of it is dumbed down.

Blacks arent dumb, we're very intelligent Individuals. Educate yourself, look up 'Black Wall Street'. The poblem comes in when there's no leadership. When Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated, well that was it. We were pretty much reduced to voting Democrat the next 500 years. Malcolm X didn't trust Liberals, so blame the guy who killed him

You say that but dont seem to think there is anything racist with Harvard taking in blacks at a much lower test scores compared to every other race, even lower than latinos. That doesnt offend you at all that Harvard is saying they need to lower their standards for blacks?

In terms of just the academics, the prestige is a bit overrated imo. You are learning much of the same material whether you are taking Calc 1 at Harvard, or some typical state or private school, as they say "Calc is Calc". The one thing that is different is the tests could be more difficult at Harvard. But it's still mostly the same material being learned. On the other parts about career prospects, good learning environment surrounded by people who actually are good students, I agree.

Jesus they were serious lol

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Lmao. Yeah i mean racial profiling done at universities doesnt get much attention which is odd because media is obsessed with race bait chit these days.... Grade inflation has been happening everywhere though. No child left behind has proven to be a bit of a failure overall. Brb, dont know chit. Brb, heres a diploma anyway so we get funding.

whoa u mean like it takez moneh to kickstart an educhational institution n chit? who wouldve thoughtttt!!!! LOLZ

[MikeLowrrrey]

I'll just say that if you haven't lived as a certain race, you have no idea what they go through.

Growing up White and poor is in no way, shape, or form comparable to blacks growing up poor. No there is no similarly whatsoever.

The world isn't rainbows and unicorns folks. Racism is real and will always be real.

Do you think it is fair that Asians are held to a higher standard than blacks then when it comes to college admissions?

Of course not, but to deny there isn't any systematic racism in place is silly.

You sound like a liberal. I bet you also thought it was a good idea for that guy to visit North Sentinel Island

This is completely false and the statistics overwhelmingly show that the number one indicator of future income is your parents income. List all the ancedotal evidence and outliers you want, doesnt mean anything.

True, but high income also correlates with high IQ.... So high income/IQ parents will likely have a high IQ kid.

You could give a low income family a million dollars and their kids still wouldn't make it to Stanford because of the IQ issue.

[menseks]

didn't watch cuz no sound here. but regardless of school grades, kids will still have to pass a SAT threshold no? i know some get a bonus 200pts or whatever, but you still have to score in some sort of top percentile to be even considered...

I've met many, many successful people who seemed intelligent who had dumbass kids. Too many to count. It almost seems opposite - poor kids have to rely on their wits to simply survive, while the rich kid has never had to struggle and has life on easy mode.

[RedRusty]

LOL at income level having nothing to do with academic success. So all those scientific studies showing the correlation were, what.....fairy tales?

No one is saying it's a cause and effect relationship. However, the correlation is definitely there.

Gonna play my latino card hard af on college apps. Wish me luck brahs.
