<p>h-bomber; thank you for your comments and the offer. You sound like a considered and caring person. Harvard is lucky to have you.</p>
<p>Cosar: thank you for your comments. Please read my letter more carefully. I am not threatening litigation, nor am I advising others to go that route. </p>
<p>Northstarmom: thank you for your comments. My son is too busy right now to waste anymore of his time with this Harvard application. I am retired and homebound due to illness, so I have the time to write letters to nowhere. I am not angry at Harvard. Anger is such a negative and self damaging emotion I just think that as a parent who paid for my sons application fees, testing fees, transcripts, express post where needed, and is expected to contribute to my sons education, I have the right to express my opinion here. That does not invalidate my son as an adult. I raised my children to be very self confident and their adulthood is not particularly threatened by the occasional innocuous parental interference. If it matters to you, I am quite certain Harvard will not change its decision. That does not mean I should not tell them what I think about their decision.</p>
<p>Tokenadult: Seriously? That is so nice of them. Thank you for letting me know.</p>
