<p>Well LazyKid, as one of those “dumb-as-a-rock” sports athletes recruited by Harvard, I must say I disagree with your ranting. Harvard simply does not recruit these idiot athletes you seem to assume us all to be. Now granted I’m sure you can find exceptions, but the majority of us are intelligent, well spoken, and I would venture to say are a much better addition to a school’s environment than someone who “graduated with 3.8 GPA at an Ivy college and now attend a top 6 law school” because you frankly just sound like you have a serious chip on your shoulder about something. </p>
<p>The fact is, Harvard does not just want pure intellectuals with 2400 SATs and 4.0s. In fact, I don’t even think those are good markers of intelligence to begin with, but thats a separate matter. Harvard wants people who are going to go into the world and make a name for themselves. People who are going to take the experience, not just the education, they gained at Harvard and use it to impact the world. Like it or not, athletes are often the ones who know how to deal with the adversity and put in the time to make things like that happen. </p>
<p>Very simply, athletes are an important part of a campus, and many of them will go on to successful careers and lives. And if you truly are the highly intelligent person you make yourself out to be, please stop speaking like such an ignorant fool. Because I frankly dont care who you are or what you say. You just dont seem like the type of person any university would want to have around.</p>
