Getting Accepted is Easy, Paying is Hard

<p>It gives me a good laugh seeing people so concerned about being “accepted.” Even the top schools such as Harvard have back doors for the less academically inclined. It is called sports, relative went there, or the “Extension Learning” division. In other words, if you got the money, you are in. People are suckers. The hard part is going for free. Listen, if some ■■■■■■■■ athlete can go to the school for free, why can’t you? Why do you need to pay for some athlete’s free tuition?</p>

<p>Yes, there are a few schools that really turn people away such as the Cheap state universities and a few others. Many state universities are competitive because they are cheap.</p>

<p>The real deciding factor as to whether a student can attend is if the applicant is able to sign his name on the student loan promissory note.</p>

<p>Here is the OPEN ADMISSIONS back door to Harvard. Cheaper tuition too.

<p>The first question to the college should be: What is the price?</p>

<p>Harvard and Princeton offer the best financial aid packages in the nation? Even Yale, getting accepted into any Ivy will probably come down to the same cost as attending a public school? Also athletes dont get scholarships to attend an Ivy League</p>

<p>"athletes dont get scholarships to attend an Ivy League "</p>

<p>They use the euphemism “financial aid” scholarship for “sports.” Almost all basketball players are from poor neighborhoods, so they let them in the school and give them a so-called financial aid scholarship. It is de facto the same thing.</p>

<p>…you do realize Ivys don’t give out merit scholarships, right?</p>

<p>You can rant all you want, but in order to convince other people you need to at least make logically sound statements. You do realize that what you said was contradicting itself already right? You’re in if you got money but “all basketball players are from poor neighborhoods”? Which means they must have been admitted based on their own merit?</p>

<p>Also, what possibly gives you the idea that all basketball players are from poor neighborhoods? Or that if you play the sport, you must be poor? Or the even the idea that the Harvard Extension School is even a part of Harvard College? That athletes are “■■■■■■■■” and must’ve been accepted because they play sports? That state schools are necessarily cheaper than top private schools after financial aid?</p>

<p>I’m genuinely curious.</p>
