Harvard College and the Overlooking of Grades

<p>It was pretty funny :slight_smile: she does not now go here.</p>

<p>I agree that the process is flawed–I know something like 7 piccolo players here in my year, which is ridiculous. We do not need that many piccolo players as a year in college. And yet they were admitted because they are all were interesting and accomplished for various reasons including their piccolo playing. I think it’s wrong that, on the other hand, my cousin wasn’t being recruited for volleyball because–hey, they only need two of her position at the team at any one time, and they already had a freshman and a junior at the time she was a high school senior. O OK. I was perhaps overcompensating for the feeling I get on these boards of all the people who aren’t hooked feeling bitter that that is going to be “the reason” they don’t get in.</p>

<p>I also suffer from a terrifically bad case of saying things I shouldn’t just as the person who shouldn’t hear them walks up behind me. It’s a good time.</p>
