Contrary to popular belief -- most students at Harvard are not rich.
Most do have high IQs. They may or may not be hard working -- but most did well in High School.

Nah... they have a ton of money and lots of connections. I grew up in Boston (yeah, I'll own up to it)... Harvard is right across the river in Cambridge and I've seen some of those twerps that go to Harvard. If mommy and daddy weren't pumping millions into the endowment, these ignorant clods [IQ?? Tree Stump!!] would be shown the exit sign fast. (Although you can get a lot of mileage [or at least a weekend on Cape Cod] out of a co-ed sophmore woman if you wave a fifty under her nose when she's broke... works miricles in the clubs too!!!)

Not anymore. Harvard has REALLY lowered the bar to cater to the whiny-@$$ed minority crowd. They now have quotas that require them to admit a certain amount of women, a certain amount of African-Americans, a certain amount of Hispanics...you get the idea. Now, don't get the wrong idea here: There are many women and people from these "minority" groups that are more than qualified to attend Harvard. The problem is there are hundreds of white men who are also more than qualified to go to Harvard but are turned away in favor of someone who is much less qualified solely on the basis of race and/or gender. The irony is the liberals, who are always so up in arms against discrimination or even saying anything "not nice" about women or any minority groups (does the name Don Imus mean anything to you?) are the ones who are pushing reverse-discrimination. So what they're telling us is that discrimination is wrong unless it's being done to a white male because of this concept called "white privilege." Because of this, you get people going to Harvard who don't really deserve to go to Harvard because they happen to have a certain skin color or a certain anatomical configuration.

It probably took a good deal of effort to be accepted into the college, but it's not good to assume that just because someone goes to such a prestigious school that they represent some sort of stereotype. I would say that their personalities can vary depending on the individual.
