<p>So a friend of mine went to an interview at a med school (not harvard) and the guy conducting the interview told him this is how harvard selects its med school class:</p>

<p>They pick their 2 favorite candidates from each state, then they pick 50 candidates who are famous/well connected/in families who donate a lot (assuming the stats are decent enough for any med school) for a total class of 150. most accept and they can get someone off a waitlist if needed.</p>

<p>to be fair, my friend said he couldn’t tell if the interviewer was being cynical or not, but it seems like just the kind of thing harvard would do.</p>

<p>I actually called admissions at Harvard, and they confirmed this. However, Alaskans are only offered a slot if they fall under the ‘well-connected’ category as well.</p>
