<p>Harvard College admissions is unfair for the simple reason that it receives close to 40,000 applications every year, and lacks the manpower to give each one the close scrutiny it deserves.</p>
<p>Leadership potential is a crucial factor in the admission process, and one’s past academic performance and standardized test scores do not predict long-term success, either at Harvard or at life afterward–we live in the age of grade inflation, and it is possible to succeed Harvard as long as one has common sense, a work ethic, and a strong academic and administrative support system.</p>

<p>LazyKid, stop bragging about the fact that you graduated from a grade-inflated non-HYP institution with a 3.8 GPA, that you are paying $200,000+ and three years out of the prime of your life to attend NYU Law, a non-YHS institution.</p>

<p>Stop bragging about your faculty brat, recruited athlete children.</p>
