A lot of people with so so academic records take Harvard classes and do just fine. … People have funny ideas about Ivies being hard.

IMO, Harvard and Yale don’t challenge their students much at all. The students who go there from our high school find it shockingly easy to get the “gentleman’s C”, which these days seems to be an A-. And I will once again repeat my nephew’s expression about his Yale experience: “It can be hard to get an A, but it is much harder to get a C”

So David Hogg will in all likelihood graduate from Harvard. It is good that he chose Harvard rather than say Princeton or Cornell which do seem to challenge their students.
