@uk2066:

That’s not surprising. There were quite a few children of Harvard faculty members in my transfer class (though I can say without a doubt that they were all highly qualified to be at Harvard. You can argue that they’re privileged, but certainly not that they are academically or intellectually unqualified) I’m willing to bet that “Harvard affiliate” means a tie to a current employee or overseer/corporation. I think if you were to broaden the definition to ‘ANY Harvard tie’, it’s probably more than 6.
