<p>^^^ I couldn't have said it any better.</p>
<p>Utilizing the BCPS formula (as confusing as the NFL's QB rating) I calculate in this decade Harvard as accepted roughly 163 students with sub par statics similar to those stated in prior post.
Why does the public at large not know this?
When these students get into Harvard and their peers ask them about their high school stats, they simply lie: they will claim the 4.0 g.p.a and the 2360 SAT's.</p>
<p>For all you know I this could be a lie.</p>

It depends on how the kid tried to pitch themselves. In those cases the students obviously did not use their academic achievements to pitch themselves, like most kids do. Rather, they used some other achievement.</p>
