hundred bucks and a dream.

And people wonder why the acceptance rate is so low…



The acceptance rate has been quite low for a long time. I had a high school classmate who put in a “lottery ticket” application to Harvard. He had fairly strong SAT scores for that era (one of the top five guys on the SAT in my graduating class) and rather lousy grades because he thought school was boring. He didn’t win the lottery. Another student from my school district, a girl who went to another high school in the district, got in the next year. She was smart enough to find school boring too, but she kept up her grades.
