[quote=Anonymous]OK, not the kid but the dad. He drove a cab we took in NYC. I know lots of people who went to Harvard undergrad but most are old, like me, and are usually legacies and they went to Harvard when their acceptance rate was in the double digits. So here's what a kid who got in this year looks like who is not a legacy: Born in Bangladesh, moved to the US when he was 3 yrs old. Parents now live in Bangladesh for most of the yr. Dad owns his NYC taxi medallion. (And for this who don't know medallions cost 1 mil+). The dad is a journalist in Bangladesh. Mom is a MD, Ob-Gyn. Perfect SAT scores in all 3 sections. Goes to Stuyvesant HS. His twin sister, who got 2368 on the SATs is going to Cornell. They have an older brother at Stanford. [/quote]
