The admission process doesn't account for my skillsets? How can I be competitive on screen with those odds? Specifically for the Harvard Graduate Joint Degree program.

I wonder if he continues to hold this position? I would be shocked to see such a prominent POC stay with a school that is clearly in the pockets of Israel and human rights abusers… 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
