<p>I have to disagree with you on the EC/hooks that I mentioned. I'll admit that there are many recruited athletes who ultimately are not accepted, but I have seen very few people with RSI who have rejected by Harvard, the same for the other ones. By no means at all are these ECs routine; only about 75 students attend RSI each year. This is compared to the 1600 who are accepted to Harvard each year, and the 23,000 who apply to Harvard each year.</p>
