<p>@TheDuke, I would expect this to have a negative, but mild, effect on Harvard. If your verdict ends up to be true, many applicants will realize: “so those are the kind of people who teach here. If Gates is supposed to be one of the world’s most “renowned” scholars, and Harvard is one of the most “renowned” Universities in the world…” </p>
<p>After hearing this story, I am kind of glad that I got rejected from Harvard, because then I might have started to believe the same crap this man preaches. </p>
<p>But like I said, this will barely affect Harvard’s image, whether Gates is wrong or right.</p>
