Watch the first episode of Patriot Act on Netflix to learn more. It goes over Harvard admission standards. It’s pretty interesting.
They’ve taken action to be more diverse though
not sure what you’re saying is currently true
A good brain helps .
My daughter is Hispanic and her beau is black.
Luck, being smart, and rich, I guess.
I think they look at a lot of things, including whether the person is likely to be a credit to the university. But like the others said, money, parentage, intelligence are all factors.
If you’ve seen the movie “how high” you need…never mind I won’t go there
You may have a point @Daze

| African American | 15.2% |
| Asian American | 22.9% |
| Hispanic or Latino | 12.3% |

| Native Hawaiian | 0.4% |
The white man is still 50 %
There’s a court case about how being Asian American puts you at a disadvantage.
Both my cousins went to Harvard.
They are brainiacs.
My dad went to Cornell 
. I know a lot of people who went to Ivy League because I live in the northeast and went to a real good high school and stuff. But I know no one who went to Harvard. It wasn’t the cool thing to do, go to Harvard from my high school. Well it just so happened everyone went to all the other Ivy League schools except Harvard. My neighbor went to Dartmouth. She’s four years younger than me though.
Where did you go? I went to Marshall university in WV
Iona college in new Rochelle New York.
I think my graduating high school class, well it was very competitive we had the highest test scores of any public school in the state. I think 25 kids in our grade went to tier 1 schools: examples of tier 1 schools are Ivy League, Stanford, Vanderbilt, MIT, duke, wake forest, uva, university of St. Louis, rice, down to university of Michigan there abouts.
That’s like 1/8th of my graduating class went to those schools. Maybe the figure was even higher I forget but. High school was harder than college all things considered academic wise.
The schools in WV aren’t great. It’s a stereotype that West Virginians are unintelligent though.
Was Chad Pennington and randy moss there when you were?
My dad went to WVU for grad school. Because they had the top computer engineering school in the country at the time 
Not that I know of. I don’t know of Chad. Randy is a football 
player isn’t he?
