The bottom 25% have a 1470.

I wonder if he would have gotten in if he was pro 2nd Ammendment.

Places like Harvard are more concerned with building prestige and legacy than they are with education. They're basically saying that they feel Hogg is going to become a prominent politician some day and that's one more to add to the list of a huge amount of people who are already on that list so that can gloat about it later.

This is true for any school. Grades/commitment are indicators for success, which boosts the institutions graduation rate. They also look for involvement, because they want active alumni wholl donate. And then theres prestige. David Hogg looks really good on paper, and he genuinely deserves it

I mean he barely qualifies for that status.

He's only "famous" because the right gets triggered by every little thing that he does/says.

This was like the first shooting where the students became really vocal afterwards and he was at the forefront.

Now he'll go to school, get a valuable education, and will pursue more worthy endeavors.

Like, imagine being that supposed adult that wastes his time whining over the exploits of a teenager.

Why do you say that? I agree with his stance on gun control but it's pretty clearly taking advantage of a tragedy for personal gain.

I didn't claim it affects me at all. I just like talking about Current Events. It's his own personal gain that is only possible because the shooting happened to his school.

It's definitely out of 1600. 25% of Harvard students aren't getting in on bottom tier percentile SAT scores.

"Why is it bad" am I talking to a child? I liked the post that explained why they let him in. You should read it it was quoted a lot.

I don't know why he deserved it, but then again I don't know why any of Harvard's students deserve their slots over anyone else. I'm not a part of their selection process, so I have no room to comment on why any student in particular has a spot and why one doesn't.

But I'm not the one getting mad that he did get accepted. I'm just curious why anyone else is expressing outrage that he got accepted at all. Not like he bumped anyone else's dumb ass in particular from getting accepted, so why should I be mad at Hogg for getting accepted?

Harvard seems like a school where they want people with good academics but also extraciriculars too. I imagine somebody with a perfect SAT score(a bad metric with which to judge people imo) who didnt do anything extraciricular wouldnt be getting accepted. This doesnt seem like a recent development either but i dont know.

hogg has become a national figure at this rate, sparking conversation about guns. However in the same turn if his academics/test scores were terrible i doubt he'd be getting a call either.

It's meh then. It's not stellar, but it's in line with what I would expect. Schools like Harvard care more about your extracurricular anyways.
