"I'm not wearing makeup," as I can clearly see the eyeliner on the top lid, bronzer for cheek definition, and a lightweight foundation. It's the no makeup makeup look.

To be fair, she didn't strip his title. His grandmother did from her favorite because his wife couldn't follow the rule of not taking political sides. That was really why they left. They originally were going to live in Canada since it's part of the Commonwealth, and they'd still get special privileges from the government. After a while, the people got tired of so much of their tax dollars paying for their 24-hour security by their police force and were demanding they start paying for private security. Then they moved to America since they weren't getting a free ride in Canada anymore.

When I was growing up planes being hijacked and held for ransom was fairly common. Sometimes they'd have Americans on them. Know what didn't happen? They were never killed. That's because they knew hellfire would rain down on them. Other countries used to say they didn't understand why the US put so much value on even a single citizen's life. That's what I want back. So I have no problem with what was done.

 @todddang1586 It's advanced classes. They add a point to possibility of GPA score. If you get an A it's worth 5 points instead of 4.

@9doggie12 0:42 She says it right there. Her scores were not in the upper acceptance range for Harvard. Acceptance rates are highest at the upper range and lowest at the lower range. A school that gets applications from people with a 5.0 GPA and 35 ACT scores as the norm for acceptance aren't going to be impressed with a 30. The lowest they'll accept is a 34. That means at best she got a 34. She did not say her score, but it's most likely below the lowest accepted score. She only said she didn't test above the average score. Since the average score for Harvard is 35, above that would be a perfect score. You view the number they've accepted at each score. While they do accept below even 30, those are few and people they're accepting because they have a quota. They got sued over it and lost. I don't think you understand what competitive means. To be competitive, you need to be at or above the scores with the highest acceptance rate to maximize your chances. Even in sports if you're not at the top you're not going to be competition for winning anything. You're not a competitive threat to anyone. Do you think someone that comes in last place is competition for anyone in the race? Nobody has an "ask"to grind.

@user-zf9ch1li8h Harvard acceptance rate is 3.6% of applicants. I don't think people fully understand how difficult it is. Kids who want to go there start doing things in middle school. Volunteering (required), lots of extra curriculum activities (sports, music, clubs), student government, etc. That's on top of getting almost straight As and taking the ACT/SAT as many times as possible and prep classes for them. There is absolutely no way with what little she did, there weren't far more qualified applicants. That's the point. If it was merit based, there's no way she would have gotten in. Edit: I know this because my son looked into going. He had offers without sending in an application to places like Washington. A school that rejected her. He also had offers from Rice and a few other top universities without applying. Schools he was being asked to attend, she got rejections from. There's no way she was qualified for Harvard.

@Exiled35 Yes. The major thing about AP courses is if you pass the national exam, they go towards college credit. My oldest graduated high school with enough credits to cover his first year and half his second.

That doesn't even cover inflation, which is why it's dumb. Cutting 1% when inflation is usually 2% is still an increase of 1% per year. It would be a 10% increase in spending minimum still. It wouldn't reduce anything. Rand is intelligent about somethings, but that doesn't appear to be one of them.

She took advanced classes. That doesn't mean she passed the national test to receive college credit for them. It's absolutely possible to get As in them and not pass that test. She said she attended one of those schools for the gifted for a year and that could have bumped up her GPA because those are all advanced courses. My oldest graduated with a 4.7 and enough college credits to skip a year and half of college. He wasn't valedictorian either though he did graduate with honors. There were 2 with 4.8.

Harvard did too. That was uncovered in the discrimination lawsuit.

This is driving me crazy. People vote for things but want those things to be free. You want mass deportation and a secure border but don't want to pay what it will cost, and it will cost a LOT. I was fully aware it was going to cost probably around 2 trillion minimum to get them out. Increased agents, increased vehicles for them, increased flights, increased judges, etc, and that's not getting much into the logistics side of it where there's increases in investigations, stake outs, and everything. The border is the wall, more agents, more technology, and more military support for BOTH borders. I don't know if people are aware they're now crossing the northern border. Not at as high of numbers because the groups doing it are charging a lot more, but it is happening. All of that will have a high initial cost to get it all in place. Edit: Obviously, there is no wall on the northern border, but everything else will apply to it.

Her extra curriculum was waitressing and one low level student government position. That's not enough. Either way you look at it, she didn't qualify. They do in fact still want test scores. They let in a black guy who's essay was just BLM written repeatedly. The discrimination lawsuit proved they were using the essays to try to not appear discrimatory against whites and Asians. The SAT and ACT is not an IQ test. They show your level of education in each area. There will be various math questions ranging from algebra, geometry, to trig and above. Reading and writing skills are tested. An IQ has nothing to do with your level of education. It's mainly pattern recognition. You've clearly never taken an IQ test or you'd know that. Edit: Harvard accepts ACT scores of 34-35. 34 is the cut-off. They do in fact still use them.

4.6. It's AP courses.
