the country needs young people like him and the other activists from Stoneman-Douglas school.

that this troubled nation and world can be put on a better course. Truly courageous and inspirational.

such as this.

Good for him. Someone with so much talent and ability.


And for all the haters...

This is a great guy and he will do wonderful things. So glad for him.

The best poetic justice would be for him to run for public office (House or Senate), author a progressive gun reform bill, and destroy the NRA's grip on Washington.

Best of Luck David and Be Bold!

I'd vote for him.

over his college rejections?

between Ingraham and him there was one adult.

And that adult is going to Harvard!

With maybe a WEE bit of compassion or empathy with human suffering. Like, say, the human suffering directly caused by surviving a gun massacre in your high school, and seeing your friends be mowed down and killed. I imagine something like that would inform and motivate your desire to change that in some way.

He'll still have to cover his books and living expenses, but Harvard has A LOT of financial aid available.

...Laura Ingraham is wandering around a neighborhood with her head stuck in a yogurt cup.

long may he be an advocate for freedom from gun violence.

He's already done well as a public speaker and as a political essayist/commenter. I hope he finds his way to DU eventually too. Good luck to David and to all the Stoneman Douglas survivors.

Ingraham earned a B.A. from Dartmouth College in 1985 and a Juris Doctor from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1991.

good but not Harvard. Must not have made the cut.

Sometimes just finding a resonant chord (RW B-Moll) that brings in some accolade$ is enough to make somewhat tone deaf.

one would be a player, one would be forgotten

Sad for what he endured and proud of his strength. Very heart wrenching.

I just started a thread on this.

if he's is?

Her actions bring great shame on both institutions. Do they produce internet trolls on purpose or was this just a slipup?

we'll get the chance to vote for him.

This is a young man of such tremendous courage and promise; I am glad Harvard recognized a true leader when they saw one. Big congratulations to Miss Corin as well!

So proud of all the young people who spoke out after this tragedy and continue to speak out today.

a close friend and co-worker's stepson (half Japanese/half Singaporese) and near-perect SAT score was informed early on he wasnt acceptable. But, I love, love, love David Hogg and am glad to see Harvard make an exception for him even with his SAT score. Academics arent everything, and the school will benefit from his veryy unique and infortunate life experince. I hope any of his classmates who applied to Harvard get the same treatment.

GPA is better and Hogg's GPA is great. The iveys put a lot of value on student involvement in extracurricular activities and community service too. Hogg has no shortage there.

What can you bring to our school? What sets you apart? Athletes, Artists, Musicians have a Special Talent. As a Political Science Major, Hoggs now has Life Experience for his major.

I used to work at NYU. It is not solely about your HS GPA. Good Luck, David!

With all this praise, we should also appreciate the path Harvard University has taken in accepting David Hogg.

All too often schools use standard criteria that doesnt always recognize the future of its students. Well done, Harvard.

a chance to redeem itself for having produced nitwits like lyin' Ted Cruz and Dubya.

He gets Ivy League and WiBitch eats crow

Because. Well, people are idiots really.

future office-holding or other positions of serious credible influence.

This is EXCELLENT news! Frankly, ALL the big schools and Ivy League institutions should have grabbed him right off the bat. This kid has MASSIVE potential. I’ve watched him delivering speeches, being interviewed, taking questions on the fly, and he’s SOLID. Unruffled, fearless, knowledgeable, poised, passionate, and well-prepared. He’s articulate, forceful, focused, and clear on messaging.

I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he runs for something. I expect to be a campaign donor if he does. I wouldn’t mind putting my money where his mouth is.

He's an incredible presence and I truly wish him the best. He's the future, and I am encouraged by that.
