Hypothesis: you're not going to Harvard unless you 95%+ knew the outcome before you even applied.
Those who likely know:
- Recruited athlete
- Child of major donor
- Child or public figure
- Child of faculty/staff
- Conducted and published *real* independent research in a high-impact journal
- Nationally accomplished artist, author, etc.
- And a few other categories not coming to mind right now.
Do you agree or disagree? Why?
