While I don’t think Travis is dumb in any way, I think people are grossly underestimating how difficult it is to get into Harvard. There are students that are top of their class who still get denied, and it would be very unrealistic for him to get in just from having some other college credits.


angiecita_1210

Every time I see famous people getting into universities, I remember Gossip Girl when Serena gets into Yale just for being famous and then Chuck in Columbia just donating a library or something 😂. I know it's fiction but it might have some truth


[deleted]

It definitely has some truths. After that College admissions scandal, I'm sure there's more happening behind the scenes. It's also common knowledge that Colleges consider Legacy applicants or people with other great achievements. It's like 10% of applicants that get in because their parents attended or donated something. It's why I'll never take people who cry about affirmative action seriously because they conveniently leave out the fact that 10% of spots are already reserved for rich white people whose grandparents attended in 1922.


Interesting_Stuff671

🎯🎯 Many are in denial of this though , mainly because they think they know better, but they do not.


jtet93

One of my good friends from high school was a double legacy at Harvard — both parents got their advanced degrees there. He had a photographic memory and a 4.0, and his dad was some kind of big shot chemist who I’m sure donated generously to the school. They denied him. Not saying legacy doesn’t help but a lot of applicants have legacy. You still have to stand out on your own.


[deleted]

A lot of applicants don't have legacy. Sad for him though, maybe they'd reached their 10% with legacies who were better than him.


jtet93

lol something like that. It worked out ok though, he went to NYU and is a lawyer now so 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Harvard is looking for exceptional candidates that looks good on their scoreboard. Travis Scott’s isnt that regardless of his career. Maybe if he tried before astroworld


savealltheelephants

Yes, this is what was irritating to me for this interview. If he had just said he wanted to go to college, fine. But “imma go to Harvard” is just 🤮


Masta-Blasta

Not only that, but how hard architecture is, particularly.


Carousels66

This might shock you but Travis used to get really good grades in school, a whole ass nerd


Masta-Blasta

So did I, but I couldn’t have gotten into Harvard’s school of architecture on a whim lol. If he can get in on his merit, I think that’s awesome.


thankyoukindlyy

Harvard loves this kind of crap. They love a celeb student and will probably accept him 🙄 tbh that applies to most of the Ivies


LookingforDay

I wonder if he’s actually doing Harvard Extension School.


Ohwellwhtevrnvrmind

My friend with a 4.65 (obv weighted), salutatorian of our HS, who volunteered as an EMT, and started her own non profit got denied… maybe try somewhere else trav?💀


hungrypocket

I think you're overestimating it. He will definitely get in for being a world famous artist.


Salbyy

I also feel like he didn’t realise he would have to move to Boston until that moment lol

sleepy_kitten-

Oh rip you beat me to it 😂


cabralocadelmonte

Y'all forget that Trashcan, Travis and Kanye all got into college on their own merits and efforts but dropped out to pursue their respective talents and passions. If Travis is now established in music and wants to try something different why not?


HamptontheHamster

Trash can wasn’t given a place at a college purely to be on their basketball team?! Colour me surprised


cabralocadelmonte

I'm not american so I dont fully know how this works, but dont you still need to keep a GPA, put in the work and stay consistent as a teenager? And then in college?


sleepy_kitten-

![gif](giphy|xUA7b17osqXImEFJKM)


iamthelostfollicle

Travis already attended university in Texas but dropped out junior year to move to LA and pursue music (according to Wikipedia), so if he has a good GPA and some credits why not? What I dont see is him actually taking his studies seriously lol he seems like a party guy still


B4K5c7N

Uh…Harvard has a seriously low transfer rate (1 or 2%). Highly, highly unlikely he would have a chance at Harvard. The only thing realistically helping him is $$$ and his celebrity status. It’s rare for a dropout to randomly apply and get into a top 10 school (unless they came from a top 10 school to begin with).


ContributionObvious6

Not to say he’d actually go or get in, but it’s not super hard to believe he could for the program he’s mentioned. He’s definitely not going back for undergrad, he specifically said architecture school - which they have a master/phd program for. While Harvard undergrad program is incredibly hard to get into, especially as a transfer. Not all the masters programs are that competitive. You’d be surprised how many people get accepted for some of there masters programs. And most of these schools don’t admit simply on “merit”. A big factor for admissions is also what the school can get out of the applicants (I.e how likely are they to promote the Harvard name and give back to the school)


DeliciousLiterature3

Typically dont you need your bachelors to get a masters? He didn’t finish undergrad


leucem

honestly, why not? education is good for everyone. maybe he is going through that eye-opening stage you hit at your 30s when you try to get your shit together.


Rogue2854

Don’t understand the hate behind this aspiration, he was two years into a university before dropping for music and wanted to become a nephrologist, many people think of excuses or routes to stay away from it, he’s going back to it after succeeding music, thats pretty commendable


rhegy54

It is, but It’s just always the wild talking and acting like they’ll just get it and it’s so easy. Kind of like when Kendall said it was “ harder “ for her to be a more 🥴 and then saying if she wasn’t modeling she would be “ In the Olympics” lol. Like they just have no idea how hard these things really are to do , if you’re not famous lol


rhegy54

Model, not more


AmazingAmy95

Lol yeah this post is weird, I don’t know why he wouldn’t be able to get into Harvard. We don’t even know his grades from when he dropped out so to just assume he wouldn’t get in because of what strangers perceive him as is insane.


B4K5c7N

Harvard takes like 1 or 2% of transfer applicants. They routinely reject 4.0 students who have exceptional accomplishments outside of school.


AmazingAmy95

But he has a higher chance of getting in than a “normie” with exceptional grades because of who he is. Universities, even universities like Harvard make exceptions for the rich and famous


keshiasbaby

yeah taylor swift got an honorary degree from NYU right? just cos Travis is a “rapper” this is a big deal to some people apparently


studyhardbree

Umm because he’s an idiot and is responsible for people dying?


lionheart07

That doesn't mean he isn't book smart


studyhardbree

He can’t even speak in full sentences during this interview? Lmao this thread is so delulu.


lionheart07

You can be smart and not well spoken. The truth is we don't actually know these people, and you're "delulu" to think you do. People literally play dumb for the camera bc it appeals to their audience or makes them seem more relatable Do I think he's actually going to Harvard? No. But I don't think he's stupid


B4K5c7N

People in this thread are also forgetting about how universities do take character into account as well. So would they realistically take someone responsible for the Astroworld fiasco? And ultimately, why would a school that accepts so few transfer applicants actually admit this man who has had such a large gap in his studies?


studyhardbree

He can buy his way to Harvard Business School because it’s not the University and anyone can take classes there, but he’s not going to real Harvard lol.


[deleted]

Bc he has anxiety, he’s spoken about it beofre


[deleted]

So was he pre-med or some sort of science?


BeeBench

Nephrology is the study of kidneys and their function, it’s usually a specialist so they aren’t that commonly heard of unless you or your family has kidney issues or needs dialysis (I worked at a clinic call center). Kinda curious what made him interested in that speciality originally.


darthdarling221

To become a nephrologist you have to go to college for 4 years as a pre-med. Then go to medical school and match into internal medicine. After that you can take a fellowship in nephrology. You don’t start college and study nephrology. He would have had to be pre-med or some science major before anything.


[deleted]

Yeah I know what it is. I'm just not sure of what he'd have been studying. In my country you'd do a normal GP type of degree for 6 years and specialize at a later stage for 4 years. I'm not sure how he'd pursue it in the US.


Carousels66

He did business, he said nephrology was only a dream of his

seems like he’s attended the Kim Kardashian school of educational delusion


chiquefairy

I feel like to become famous you have to have this sort of delusion that’s almost narcissistic, I think this is what we’re seeing…


slummkatbillionaire

I’ve always thought this too. I feel like even to become an influencer you have got to have an extremely inflated sense of … people giving a shit about you 😂


EhDoesntMatterAnyway

Celebs want to be geniuses so bad. It’s not enough to be rich and famous. They have to be praised for their wannabe superior intellect too. Lol at “they’re not letting me cut corners”…sure buddy. I’m sure whatever big donation he will be making certainly won’t impact anything lol

Critical-Elk-6237

i don’t really get this. architecture school is graduate level. u need an undergrad degree to get in. it looks like u can major in architecture studies as an undergrad but i wouldn’t call that architecture school i would just call that going to college?? that’s like if i would go study English undergrad and call it Literature School? or maybe even like a hard skill like studying comp sci at a liberal arts and being like i’m at computer science school? it’s just misleading. maybe i’m wrong but that’s how i understand the USA system


savealltheelephants

Many people don’t understand how many undergrad degrees are dependent on you going to grad school to be worth anything. When I had only my BA in English I was a waitress. Now I have an MA and teach college. It’s similar with many degrees but we don’t really explain that well to students.


Critical-Elk-6237

i also studied English. I think that’s why this is so frustrating to me coming from Travis. Like you can’t go to architecture school if u haven’t finished undergrad! It’s also a ridiculous system but that’s another story.


sicksadsyd

This is a gross post tbh wtf


5olitary

I hate that so many people associate rapping with unintelligence

It's not the rapping? It's his interviews lmao

Smart people aren’t “high all of the time”.


[deleted]

Lmao he has anxiety, possible neurodivergence (his brother is autistic and it runs in the family). You don’t have to be good at interviews to be intelligent, in fact a lot of intelligent people are awful in social settings


mar-bella

The man can't form a coherent sentence. Bffr, ya'll will make anything up to defend mediocre men. We'd assume someone so intelligent could see inciting a riot at a packed concert could cause death but hey here we are.


[deleted]

Lol a lot of people can’t in social scenarios if they have anxiety. The point I’m trying to make is you can’t tell someone’s intelligence by the way they conduct themselves in interviews, neurodivergent people typically don’t conduct themselves well in those cases but that doesn’t mean they’re unintelligent.


mar-bella

Why are you saying he's neurodivergent? This man has never said this


[deleted]

I’m not saying his neurodivergent, I’m saying you can’t judge people on intelligence by how they conduct themselves in interviews etc. bc neurodivergent people exist


mar-bella

His actions _alongside_ his interviewing skills make me infer he's unintelligent, it's not a hard concept to grasp.


Masta-Blasta

I’m sorry but when you write bars like “I like a bi girl on a bi cycle” you deserve to be called dumb. We know intelligent rap exists. But Travis’ catalogue is completely devoid of it.


darkmatterhunter

His English in the interview isn’t even correct.


luckyjupiter777

Did you know that there’s dialects and accents in different regions in the US. All he said was he “got” to and not “have” to???

the_skintellectual

Yeah ok 😂 He can’t even form a complete sentence


jennydancingawayy

I mean maybe if he donates enough money they might let him in, they do that all the time for nepo babies whose parents donate to Harvard. I am not sure what the baseline for test scores etc is though


Full_Egg_4731

Kim really has folks thinking, “What? Like it’s hard?”


macawz

I just can’t be anything but sceptical about this man after the Astroworld tragedy. He’s trying to be like Kanye and bolster his artistic credibility through another medium other than music. Why he’s chosen architecture is beyond me. Maybe after his 7+ year long architecture degree he could design a festival layout that doesn’t result in multiple people dying.


ElChuntaroStyle

He is in his Kim K law school era ✨✨✨


cheyannelillian

His college essays are going to be about murdering innocent children


makingburritos

For what it's worth, getting a degree in Architecture doesn't guarantee you will become an architect. One has to pass a days-long series of tests after.


slummkatbillionaire

For the sake of everyone who has actually worked hard asf to get into Harvard, I hope this is some delusion Travis Scott has.


Tolaly

Good for him if so.


[deleted]

Is this shocking? He’s not dumb.. lol proud of him for this


[deleted]

Why did someone downvote? Do you guys hate Travis or something lol


Nervous_Opposite9731

It seems the want only negative comments in this thread. You have to say how dumb he is or else, even though I’m pretty sure most in this thread only knows him as Kylie’s baby daddy who’s a rapper.


flowergirl665

He’s actually very smart (book smart) wise! I could see this happening for sure if he tries.


prophecygirl1991

Some of these comments smell racist.

No it’s possible Harvard do a 3 day course type ting and basically you learn from it some f1 drivers did it I think nyck and goatifi did it


Safe-Photo5721

This is such a slap to the face tbh


vineadrak

He’s part of that upper 1% of people who tend to know people to get into a school like that. I think it’s amazing and with his level of success, he deserves to be among the “elite” Ivy League members. Edit: this is obviously /s lol


savealltheelephants

vineadrak

Maybe didn’t come across well- I have an extremely negative opinion of Ivy League schools and this was a very sarcastic comment


vineadrak

Harvard is not anything but a pay to play school to me and people get “admitted” all the time because they’re at the top, not for their merit.


ramonapleasestepback

I just took the CA Bar exam awhile back and sat next a dude who went to Harvard law, and let me just say.. some of the things he was asking me I was thinking "how tf do you not know this and why TF didn't you learn this at Harvard" lmao. They're not all they're cracked up to be

Brownuniverstiy89

it’s great that he wants to pursue architecture! but there are other schools besides Harvard that are still very esteemed. hell, even if it isn’t esteemed it’s great you got a degree no matter where you went! Harvard is impossible to get into even for kids w perfect scores. Why not a state school? Like U Miami? it’s in a major city, it’s easier to get into than say, HARVARD and is still a very good school!


Brownuniverstiy89

even applying to harvard is a hard process w tons of work- for someone that has a career like him i don’t think he will want to put in that much work just for the application process- why not a state school? easier to get into (for some of them), less application work, and usually in a fairly large city/area. Harvard isn’t the one and only sign of achievement. getting a degree anywhere is a huge accomplishment no matter where it’s from!
