<p>wow nice find, whats interesting are the marks that the admissions office wrote on his application</p>
<p>for example on ethnicity they wrote a HUGE W, apparently because the checkbox was too small.</p>
<p>then they also wrote some codes in under info about his parents, and wrote the years they graduated from college in big letters…i wonder why that is significant, they werent H alums.</p>
<p>theres some other stuff too. pretty interesting.</p>
<p>Most of the pages have pretty poor resolution, but two interesting things I noted are 1) he listed his area of primary academic interest as “B: Humanities” and 2) he participated in Harvard’s summer school program.</p>
<p>umm how can the authenticity of these documents be assured… plus there seems to be a lot of stuff missing like the long letters of recomendation, the personal statement, etc…</p>
<p>Megaragirl, how long did you wait for the page to load…it was really slow when I clicked on the link, took like 10 mins to load.</p>
<p>I don’t think the W only looks huge because it looks like the page was stretched when it was scanned… but it’s interesting that they mark up applications like that, I guess for more efficient reviewing</p>
<p>If you had trouble accessing the articles, I think it might have been because they either had them down till the ruling, or the server crashed from all the hits! It’s back up now, anyway.</p>
<p>I (rather strongly) believe that activities like CTY + Harvard Summer School are strongly <strong>correlated</strong> with getting in to top schools, but do not actually <strong>cause</strong> admission to the schools.</p>
<p>(Exeter may be a different story, or maybe not)</p>
<ol>
<li><p>the number of languages he spoke - just a side note, I am taking my 5th year of spanish currently so am fairly decent at the language, but definitely not fluent - should i have put this down for languages you can read or write? (i didn’t)</p></li>
<li><p>the hours/week he’s involved in activities…mine were no where near that but i thought i was quite involved…apparently not</p></li>
