When I got invites to apply to Harvard, Yale, Stanford, etc. my mom fell off her chair. I couldn’t believe Harvard had my home address.

I worked full time in high school to afford to apply to college.

I now know that the invite was a pre-rejection & @Harvard really wanted $$

Gotta love it when the ivy’s use blood sweat and tears of POC, rural areas, and underserved against us; our lack of experience makes us vulnerable to these advertising tactics.

Really, it just exploits us.

Please, take time to read this article. Learn about how hard it is for people to attend the Ivy’s even with a “written application invite”. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/29/us/harvard-admissions-recruit-letter.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share
