[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about all the kids who had MAP-M scores that high and did NOT get in.  Did they also not deserve to be there?[/quote]

There are limited slots.  Some kids who “deserve to be there” will not get in.  Harvard could probably fill its class at least 5 times over with kids who would be successful there.  They don’t all get in.  This is life.[/quote]

Five times? Try 5000 times. There are a lot of smart people in the world, and nearly all of them are not at Harvard. I spent 8 years there, and it’s a great opportunity for people, with all its resources. The opportunity it provides is better than most places. But the students and faculty aren’t so different from any good university anywhere in the world.[/quote]

What's your point?  PP's point was not everyone can be accepted everywhere and that is life.  Not sure what your point is except to say that you got accepted to Harvard and Harvard could fill its class 5000 times over. [/quote]
