Hilary Duff at Harvard (extension) !!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>On her website, teen idol boasts of her status as a Harvard student, and the Crimson takes editorial exception. Sounds like her main crime was not signing up for the Facebook!</p>

<p>hey plushenko, great that duff is going to harvard or great because the article was great?(repetitive, I know).
Anyways, what I don't understand is why these celebrities are going to harvard. Are they even up for the amount of work and are they intelligent and worthy? Don't get me wrong, I don't care if she goes there, but why does SHE need to go there why not community college? (ok so the answer to the latter question is obvious, but please answer my previous question.)</p>

<p>Harvard College and the Harvard Extension School are not the same thing, which is the point the Crimson editorialists are making in sledgehammer fashion.</p>

<p>Their purist noses are out of joint because the teen idol signed up for a single online extension course, then notified her worshipers that she was "starting my first day of college at .. Harvard University." </p>

<p>The assumption is that if she was taking a correspondence course through DeVry, she might not have shared all the juicy details with readers of her web diary.</p>

<p>ok, so what about natalie portman(I read on cc that she went to harvard non extension), why did she get accepted? Cause she was already a pre-established celebrity? Cause she was of above average intelligence in Hollywood? Cause she was a combination of both? ( just wondering)</p>

7

<p>cause shes hot. enough said.</p>

8

<p>cause she has brains...</p>

<p>Anyway, I found that article hilarious.</p>

9

<p>natalie portman speaks like five languages. she's dead smart.</p>

10

<p>I think that article in the Crimson was a little malicious. BOoooo Harvard, no cool to make fun of people like that.</p>

11

<p>Natalie Portman was a Siemens Westinghouse Winner/Finalist (something.) She's very intelligent.</p>

12

<p>Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer/guitarist of the band Weezer just finished up a semester at Harvard (on campus). He's a bright guy, and I believe he had been accepted earlier in his career, dropped out to focus solely on music, and returned for the fall semester while recording the big =W= 5th album.</p>

13

<p>NYCFan, you got too much time on your hands. You really do.</p>

14

<p>who's the nyc fan, futajalon? and what is nyc? (just wondering)</p>

15

<p>natalie portman went to harvard college and was accepted before she was famous - shes really smart was involved in school/acting and had very very very high test scores.</p>

16

<p>A National Merit Scholar, I believe.</p>

17

<p>wow, that's pretty amazing for a celebrity, in fact its amazing for anybody. i never had a lot of respect for hollywood(although i like their entertaining movies), but I guess every place has some respectable people.</p>

18

<p>not that I'm arguing with any of the praise for Natalie Portman, but she made "The Professional" when she was around 13, so she was definitely well-known before being accepted into Harvard.</p>

19

<p>seth blue, NYCFan is the person who laughably chose for his screen name, the Harvard admissions office (truly outr</p>

20

<p>who chose that name? was it me by any chance?</p>
