[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great EC's?

How great? Did they?

- compose an opera being produced by the Met?
- write a novel on the short list for a national book award?
- qualify for the olympics?
- build a horrifyingly lifelike robot?
- find a cure for cancer/AIDS/heart disease?
- start a Fortune 500 company in your basement?
- star in a major Hollywood tent pole franchise?
- perform solo on their instrument at Carnegie hall?
- create an app that solves world hunger?

That great? Than maybe.

Oh stop it. DC (who refused to tour Harvard, let alone apply to it) got into a different 6% acceptance rate school with a tiny solo at the Strathmore and 3rd place in a state composition competition. Don't scare people.

That said, DC had a 3.9 unweighted GPA from a big area public, and pretty high SATs.

You never know, OP, about the EC link. Harvard's Music department may have told the Admissions office to find them a new harp player because the old one is graduating. Maybe the Language Department needs Romansh speakers to give its tenured Romansh professor something to do. But it's definitely a long shot, even with perfect grades and test results.[/quote]
