<p>"Harvard might come knocking with a red face and a big ‘oops!’ "</p>

<p>"Why was admission tougher than ever this year at the nation’s top colleges? Probably because this was the year Olympic speedskater-turned-Darfur-activist Joey Cheek applied. Sorry, kids – your Key Club vice presidency kind of paled in comparison.</p>

<p>Where’d he get in? “Yale, Princeton, Columbia, NYU, Georgetown, Stanford, Duke and North Carolina,” the 26-year-old told us. But Cheek – who was famously turned down by Harvard for early admission just months before he won gold and silver and donated his earnings to Darfur charities – wouldn’t say where he’s going: He’s signed with MTV’s cable and online channel MTVU to chronicle his decision-making in a new reality series. “Joey Cheek Goes to College” will run for six episodes in the fall, with a “sneak preview” premiere May 1 – the day after he speaks at a rally on the Mall against Sudanese genocide.</p>

<p>Did he get rejected anywhere? “Well, I still never got Harvard.”

Thank you. I am following his story about college application. I am not in favor or against him. I am just curious how addmission works.</p>

<p>Unfortunately for Joey, Harvard doesn't have a speed-skating team. Now if he could only play hockey!</p>
