[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a kid who got into Harvard via the z-list, although no one ever called it that. She came from an elite boarding school, applied early, got deferred, and put on the wait list. The family had made it clear prior to the admissions year what their donations would continue to look like. Before April decisions came out, her (legacy, undergrad and grad multiple times over) family was told quite specifically how things would work- she received a waitlist notification as expected, but it was understood that she would be in. Once the class was “set”, she was officially admitted.

I know all of this because her family members are longtime acquaintances and quite indiscrete. The process was repeated for a graduate program. [/quote]

BS.
Its nearly as bad as the urban myth about the girlfriend who peed in a sink which fell off the wall and she was found knocked out on the floor.

Try harder.[/quote]

It’s not BS and it would be very fun for me to put her full name and parents’ name here. Don’t worry, she’s safely off the job market and won’t be competing with your little darling now that she did her token 3-year post-HBS stint at a job and married a consultant from her class.

I don’t know why people are so reluctant to believe that bad shady unfair stuff happens, but I appreciate this PP’s sincere optimism that the world is a land of aboveboard dealings and meritocracy.[/quote]
