Harvard is my first choice, and I’d do anything to go there…I came into contact with a Rick Kaplan…For those of you who don’t know, he’s the current President of MSNBC, former President of CNN and senior vp of ABC news…he has accumulated 34 emmies, the point being he is quite noteworthy. He also teaches seminars at Harvard.

He is writing me a supplementary letter of recommendation and I was just curious to how much it will help? I know usually supp letters may not help that much, but I was wondering if his status in the world and at Harvard will boost my app?

Any feedback? Thanks…
