Are Ivy league schools producing weak and pathetic human beings, or just recruiting them?

The article about the HS student writing #BLM 100 times and getting into Stanford certainly leads me to believe so.

From my personal experience, Ivy League students have never faced adversity in their life, were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, and as a result are weak and feminine.

Let's be honest, you don't get into an Ivy League school because you're smart, it's because mommy and daddy paid for SAT prep and tutors throughout high school.

Today's headlines exemplified that. Ivy League schools recruit the weak and keep them weak.

It's not limited to Stanford either. Harvard, and many other schools are just as bad.

If I was an alumni, I would be calling the Stanford office's in a fit of rage. But, Stanford alumni don't know what to do, because they only know one trick: rollover.

Stanford is an embarrassment. Frankly, it's always been this way with all Ivy Leagues. Today, it just saw the light of day. Stanford's reputation is forever tarnished.

I predict this year we will see a major decline in the reputation of many other Ivy League Schools.

Save your money kids!

From the same article:

"Perhaps his acceptance to Stanford isn’t only because of his bold application statement, but because of Ahmed’s long resume.

The Bangladeshi-American teen worked on the Martin O’Malley campaign in the 2016 presidential season, before joining the Hillary Clinton as a volunteer under the campaign’s Muslim outreach director. He’s also interned at the U.S. State Department. He was once recognized by President Barack Obama at a dinner for Muslim Americans.

Ahmed founded Redefy, an advocacy organization pushing tolerance of differences, when he was a freshman at high school in Princeton, New Jersey. As president, he leads more than 200 members to push past stereotypes at Redefy. He also works as a chief visionary officer for JUV Consulting after founding the firm with Melinda Guo, to work with business on relevant targeting to young individuals.

His bio on the website of a teen leadership program he was accepted to notes that he “organized a conference at Princeton University that gathered more than 200 young attendees to learn about pressing social issues from 12 prominent activists.”

Business Insider named him a world-changing prodigy, and in 2015 MTV News identified him as a world-changing teen."

I think its time to find a new hobby bud

 

It's sounds like his claim to fame was being a minority in the right place at the right time. You don't get put into those political places for your brilliance, you get put there so that politicians can have an easy time pandering to minorities. It's especially easy for the effects of something like this to snowball.

Take 10 seconds to look at his website, its pandering of the worst kind.

Doubt a white kid would have any of those opportunities. You can be damned sure an asian wouldn't.

Let me hear you say, this shit is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
 

Please add @TNA" to the insecure nontarget list.

Nontarget grads like ivy equivalents can do successful things in life, even though the probability of such is lower than ivy grads. Learning agility, regardless if they went to ivy equivalents or not, is the most important for success though.

cocky ivy grads could get away because they have a lot of real cards to play and learn; cocky nontarget like TNA can't get away and after some 30,000 posts on WSO he still can't prove his worth.
