[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] According to my gf who is head of all interviewers for HYP at a very large metropolitan city on the east coast, merit means having excellent grades, test scores, a measurable achievement in an area of interest - think Olympic caliber athlete, winning Intel competition, publishing original scientific research, etc. and/or overcoming great odds to achieve whatever outstanding "something", an interesting background story helps too. Like your father is a cab driver... HTHs![/quote] Harvard accepted 1,990 applicants last spring. They weren't all Olympic-caliber athletes, Intel competition winners, authors of original scientific research, or overcomers of great odds.[/quote]
