<p>^Amen. I’d agree with everything except point 2. If you’re a low-income kid, (I’m talking sub-20), you can easily feel put-off by the ridiculous things that Harvard kids seem to take for granted. The population is (or pretends to be) overwhelmingly upper-middle class or upper class. Statistically, as well, income distribution at the school vs. America at large is quite different. I might be overly sensitive to class issues, but there are plenty of types who play up their wealth and connections for various reasons.</p>
