I can't stand it when people see me in my Harvard shirt and they ask me, "Do you go to Harvard," and I'm like "of course I go to Harvard, you fucking faggot, I'm wearing the shirt."

Harvard Law has too many unmanly state school kids to truly be considered a part of Harvard proper. I wish they'd move that community college-like campus to Alston already and get it over with.

i guess going to harvard ug helps. that way, you can still look down your nose at the proles that went to state school for ug but went on to an even more prestigious and selective program for graduate study

Look, Harvard UG is the most selective UG. It is #1 (or tied for #1, whatev). Sub-10% acceptance rate.
Harvard Law School is #2. It is a good school, but it is not the best and is only considered the best by laymen. Has an 11.3% acceptance rate (read: higher than the College).
I'm not sure where your selectivity factor comes from, especially seeing as law school is a numbers game whereas harvard college admits interesting people with interest soft factors while still maintaining the highest GPA/SAT splits in the nation.
Also note: while 80% of Harv UG and Yale UG cross-admits take Harvard UG, this is inverted with law school, where 80% of cross-admits between HLS and YLS opt for YLS.

no you dont, ninjafuck. you go to harvard extension school. you will graduate with a TTT ALB.
if you went to harvard college, you wouldnt be boasting about wearing a fucking harvard t-shit; no one does that up here, and no other legitimate harvard poster has expressed such douchery.
also, thanks for dodging my questions in the last thread you lying fuck; obviously you dont go here; it's a simple question: how many gnomon copies are there in harvard square??
you are a delusional loser-fuck, and as real Harvard College student i pity you.

No. I'm getting an A.B in econ. From the college. I'll be looking at ALM programs though, cause KSG sucks, and I ain't paying that much $ for the same education I can get for 15k.
haha, i think the same thing when i see kids at my ttt wearing shirts from hy or oxford, cambridge. people don't ever seem to wear 'princeton' shirts when they don't go there, though.
op- does wearing a shirt to tell everyone you go to harvard feel sorta douchey? perhaps not in/around cambridge/boston, but elsewhere? btw, shouldn't your shirt say 'harvard extension?'
Date: March 27th, 2006 11:41 PM Author: Aphrodisiac sadistic water buffalo shrine
It's actually considered to be a far greater act of douchery to wear the shirt in boston because most bostonians are idiot tools who couldn't get into Harvard, and it just fucking eats them up to see the best fucking school in the country right in their backyard.
Also, I go to Harvard College. And even if I was enrolled in HES, that is a division of FAS, so no, you fucking moron, for the millionth time, I wouldn't wear a different shirt because only Harvard University gives out degrees.
seriously, i'm just breaking your balls on the HES bit. i went to ttt undergrad so i have no room to talk. when did you begin posting on xo? do you often go to boston proper or do you seldom leave cambridge?
Date: March 27th, 2006 11:48 PM Author: Aphrodisiac sadistic water buffalo shrine
Seriously, do they even make Oxford shirts? I've never seen one, and I know a ton of grad students here who went to Oxford, at least for a while if not for a degree.
Harvard shirt gets women all wet and looking at you. If you go into a bar and are half good-looking with a crimson harvard shirt on, you'll get pussy.

Actually, I'm not sure. Most people at Oxford wear the sweatshirts or jackets of their residential college, rather than the university.
Now that I think about it, the real problem with Oxford apparel (the shirts and sweats that have it in big letters on the front) is that most of it comes from the crappy tourist stores in the city, and people over in England wear it the same way TTT people here wear Harvard shirts.

I can clear this one up. Oxford does make shirts. However, people who go to Oxford do not wear the shirts, the shirts are only for tourists. If you actually go to Oxford you get clothing from your college. College scarves are really popular, as are shirts for sports teams. I have a Pembroke College Boat Club sweatshirt that I am wearing right now (I spent a year there).
If you travel around Europe at all you will see tons of people with Oxford shirts. Remember that none of them went there. I have asked them all.

TITCR. I just posted the same thing a second ago.
Did you row for Pembroke? If so, very prestigious. I was with the QCBC while I was there, and you guys crushed us.
I actually wear my QCBC splash jacket more than anything else--I know it's from Oxford, but no one else on campus probably has a clue where it's from--and it's nice when I go running the in the winter. I also have a Wycliffe Hall scarf, since my program was associated with that.
honestly, i'm not the type to give a shit about what people do and don't wear. that said, i usually give people with oxbridge shirts the benefit of the doubt since our school has a number of exchange programs with them. however, it's different with domestic schools. people here with shirts from preftigious undergrads don't fool anyone. funny thing is those people here i do know that are headed to hys for law aren't rockin their hls '09 gear on campus

"funny thing is those people here i do know that are headed to hys for law aren't rockin their hls '09 gear on campus"
On my campus that probably wouldn't be the best idea, since we've sent maybe five people to HLS in the past decade. Most go to Wayne State, Illinois, or Cooley.
edit: I shouldn't be so hard on my school; we send a number of people to Michigan, too, but it's hardly loaded with ambitious students.

I suppose going to Harvard offers you lots of free time?
Since you post about HES a lot...
I find rumors about people who get jobs with HES ALMs a little suspect. First of all, it seems that there really aren't that many graduates. The graduates that do exist can't be generalized, as some (most?) are old and have different ambitions than us.
Any concrete evidence that ALM grads somehow make good?
This is an interesting subject for me, as it should be for most relatively poor people. HES costs about as much as your local community college. Plus if you work **part-time** at Harvard doing just about anything, you can take HES classes for 40 fucking dollars.

Go on the website and look at people who enrolled in ALB and ALM and are now chilling out at Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Stanford, Princeton Ph.D.
Take a look at the harvard journalism bitch who won a pulitzer.
To answer your question, yes, I have a lot of free time. Being a graduating senior, all of my classes are fucking bullshit, and I'm graduating magna so I don't give a fuck.
Date: March 27th, 2006 11:51 PM Author: judgmental sooty range national security agency
Harvard just started their ALM in journalism. An instructor there could have won a pulitzer, but there aren't any ALM journalism grads yet. Ask them yourself.
It's true...some of their grads seem to go on to good grad programs. Hard to tell if that's typical.
If you're truly graduating magna, wouldn't you be hyper-ambitious like all the other supercompetitive fucks who get the very top grades at any top 10 university? i.e. you would have amazing-sounding prospects and you wouldn't be on here?

First, why do you care? This isn't exactly the stuff of heated arguments.
No, I actually have other things to do besides posing as a status-obsessed Harvard grad of dubious authenticity.
That slide says nothing about her being an ALM, or even a Harvard grad. It says she simply took an extension course in basic journalism. (It's a good thing a basic journalism class is confined to HES. It would be very TTT of Harvard College if they offered it.)
I actually inquired about the ALM in journalism program because I have a passing interest in J-schools, especially Northwestern. Here's how their office responded to my inquiry:

Dear xxxxxx,
Thank you for your inquiry. The ALM in Journalism program is new this year (having started in fall 2005), so we do not yet have any graduates. In fact, since students are required to take three courses, including the new journalism proseminar, before they can apply to the program, we are only now getting applications. Therefore, it's too early for us to be able to give you stats on the career success of our grads.
I don't think it's wise to give out this lady's full e-mail on here because you might send her pictures of your penis or do something equally prestigious.

I've really never thought of this as that much of a faux pas. obviously you aren't trying to pass yourself off as something you aren't when you wear it around your other undergrad. they probably just took a trip there or did a summer program and wanted a shirt. I was at the University of Iowa and UCLA for some stuff at one point and bought a hat or a t-shirt; it's not like I was trying to show off for anyone.

I don't think I could wear a piece of shit like that without having an ironic, extra-douchey smirk on my face at all times, just so there was absolutely no doubt that I was joking about attending WUSTL.

I would say at any given time 5-10% of the population of the city of NOLA is wearing either a Tulane shirt or an LSU shirt. You havent seen douchebagery until you walk around this city and practically every fucking car has either a Tulane bumper sticker, a Loyola sticker or an LSU sticker or even a UNO sticker or a combination there of.
Date: March 28th, 2006 12:25 AM Author: Aphrodisiac sadistic water buffalo shrine
Going to Tulane in New Orleans is not like going to Harvard around Boston. In NOLA, Tulane is the status quo. Only fucking idiots go there, and anyone who moves to go there is a fucking TTT who deserves a tumor and a slow, painful death - after they flunk the bar, that is.
