Good luck to everyone anxiously awaiting Ivy League admissions decisions today!
Here is the quote that would draw interest from this forum:College accepts 1,937 to Class of 2028 — Harvard Gazette
Admitted students hail from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and 94 countries.news.harvard.edu
This is interesting.
One Veteran that comes to mind with his story is J.D. Vance who is a Senator from Ohio. He was an enlisted Marine that later went to Yale Law School. His memoir Hillbilly Elegy is a good read that may give some insight into today's political and cultural climate.I'm not too surprised on the admitted veterans numbers. There's been a push among the top civilian schools to admit more untraditional applicants, to include veterans, but also others as well that chose a different path after high school before applying to colleges. See: Yale's Eli Whitney program as a great example of this. It's been quite successful.
