Crooked Harvard

For generations, Harvard has been the pinnacle of academic prestige, the ultimate ticket to power and influence. Presidents, billionaires, Nobel laureates—it seems like everyone who shapes the world has a Harvard degree. But behind the ivy-covered walls, there’s a darker reality. The “best and brightest” aren’t always the most deserving. Harvard isn’t just an elite university; it’s a business, a brand, and in some cases, a gatekeeper that plays by its own rules.

Who Gets In and Why?

For decades, Harvard has carefully engineered its admissions process through opaque policies that effectively function as quotas, ensuring that certain groups are underrepresented or overrepresented to fit a predetermined image of the "ideal" student body. The university has historically imposed limits on Jewish students, Asian applicants, and other high-achieving groups, all while favoring legacy admits, recruited athletes, and children of wealthy donors. Despite branding itself as a pure meritocracy, Harvard’s use of "personality scores" and subjective criteria have been weaponized to quietly suppress applicants who academically outperform their peers but don’t fit the institutional mold. The result? A rigged system where many truly exceptional students never even had a real shot.

Donor Influence: Emails uncovered in court cases show that applicants with connections to major donors get special attention. If your family can afford to build a library, your odds of admission skyrocket. The Asian-American Discrimination Lawsuit: Harvard was sued for allegedly capping the number of Asian-American students by manipulating “personality scores.” Jewish families are similarly discriminated against by the admissions office.

The university celebrates diversity until it threatens its donor base. Student protests that don’t align with its politics? Shut down, punished, or ignored.

Top 1% for Wealth Is Good Enough? Think Again

Harvard’s secret quotas and “holistic” review process ensure that entire categories of students—including high-achieving, well-resourced applicants from top prep schools—are quietly pushed aside in favor of a carefully curated mix that serves Harvard’s institutional interests. The legacy loophole? Shrinking. The edge from elite private schools? Diminishing. And yet, behind the scenes, children of billionaires, celebrities, and political power players still find a way in. If you're not in the top 0.01% of influence, then wealth alone won’t protect you. Without the right admissions strategy, your child is just another number in Harvard’s rejection pile.

Harvard’s Rot from Within: A Culture of Elitism and Scandal

Beyond admissions, Harvard’s inner workings expose a culture where power often overrides principle.

• The Economics of Influence Harvard’s endowment sits at over $50 billion, making it wealthier than some countries. Yet, it still raises tuition, squeezes students for donations, and acts like it’s struggling for funds. Where does the money go? To hedge funds, real estate, and maintaining its iron grip on influence.
• Grade Inflation and the Illusion of Excellence At Harvard, an A is the most common grade. The university’s reputation for intellectual rigor is undermined by the reality that most students graduate with honors, regardless of effort. Meanwhile, ambitious students who weren’t born into privilege struggle to stand out.

Why This Matters for You

Harvard isn’t just a university; it’s a symbol of American elitism. The school sells an illusion of meritocracy while operating like an exclusive club for the wealthy and well-connected.
