Why are people so fed up about affirmative action (AA), BUT use Harvard as the demonstration for lack of fairness?
Harvard’s undergraduate admitted 1,984 students for the C/O 2026 out of 61,221 candidates.
Going Ivy League is hard for anyone regardless of race.

They either want your money to survive as an institution or your knowledge to flourish during your time at their campus. The latter allows for them to say you are a product of their system - which could be the case but geniuses are bound to be genius as long as their environment doesn’t kill ‘em.
A vision for pursuing excellence in any field:
Every child is free to compete (inclusion)

“Be curious, not judgmental.”
Those who judge your life without ever asking why you do what you do are trying to steal a quid from you. Thanks Ted Lasso.
I don’t think I’ll ever be a digital influencer. Work in real time with real people is more natural and soul-soothing. The departure from the healthy natural mode of living is an ever increasing societal problem.
