<p>Damn. Talking about stalking, dude.</p>
<p>I got into Columbia Law not because I went to certain undergraduate college, but because I had rock solid college GPA on top of 172 LSAT. Also, I never applied to Harvard. It’s my brother who applied to Harvard this year, but he didn’t get in. Well, to be fair, I did apply to Harvard Law School, but never applied to Harvard undergrad.</p>
<p>Also, I suspect I wasn’t good enough of a candidate to get into Harvard back when I was in high school. And, I don’t care.</p>
<p>Lastly, I don’t really care if I get the chance to go to Harvard or not. Like I said, I am done with college and I don’t care about that kind of stuff. The intent of this thread is to question the legitimacy or fairness (or lack thereof) of the admissions procedure at Harvard College. It is a shame to observe how some posters in this thread are ignoring the original intent and purpose of this thread, yet resort to subjecting this thread into off-topic, complete non-relevant silly discussions such as asking “It’s fair to guess you’ve been rejected by Harvard several times over the years. Would you say, in your estimation, they were wrong in doing so?” This thread is there to hear people’s opinions or feedback on the topic of discussion, not there to play with others by getting into their personal stuff.</p>
<p>Not just talking about the questionable fairness of the admissions process at Harvard, but I am questioning if it is a policy that actually works. For example, I think there are many flaws in Harvard’s attempts to adopt ‘holistic admissions’ and giving much weight to someone’s non-academic dimensions, such as that individual’s character, personality, or leadership skills. But, like I have already been questioning throughout this thread, does Harvard actually successfully distinguish those applicants with true leadership skills, true character, and whatnot, all via just limited sources such as a brief personal statement and extra curricular list, while not even bothering to interview the applicants, nor bothering to check if those personal statements, extra curricular/ leadership activities, or heck even the academic credentials of its applicants are valid and true or not.</p>
