<p>“If a particular person is not suited for the Harvard style of education, then Harvard should never admit him.”</p>
<p>I agree with newmassdad – it’s ultimately up to the student to figure out which school is right for him. The school’s job is to be as up front as possible about what it offers so that the student can make an informed decision. Harvard doesn’t do a perfect job at that, but the existence of big lecture classes is no secret. Plus, every applicant gets one-on-one time with an alum to ask questions.</p>
