[quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to say how I figured this out. DC at Harvard. File read by two AOs — first one is grad student at H, but undergrad school is not even Top 200! Comes from a FG family (due to scholarship name). Ugh — she had no idea what to make of DC’s file and the bias was clear! I’m a SAHM and DC is very accomplished in this one field that the AO did not understand at all. Luckily the second reader was more experienced and from a prestigious SLAC — she said she liked DC and gave higher ratings. Truly, it’s all luck! I watched this YT video of a former Harvard AP saying he comes from this place in CA with a lot of Vietnamese. And when he joined H, he did not understand why none of them were there so he started advocating for them! So if you don’t have an AO who understands your accomplishments or is not from a similar background or just doesn’t get you, you’re SOL. It really does come down to luck.[/quote]
