Getting Accepted is Easy, Paying is Hard

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.

… …

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.



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?

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?

I’m genuinely curious.
