[quote=Anonymous]To return to answer OP's original question: This isn't going to happen. This article was a PR move on behalf of Harvard to make Harvard look "soft" and "kind" while admissions does its work. It's totally disingenuous. If they were serious they would do something to actually assess the students' "niceness" like hold real interviews, not alumni ones. Your child is nothing but a series of numbers to them: SAT/ACT/SAT II subject matter scores; GPA; class rank and outside ECs that might bring fame to the school. That is all. If you think they are actually looking for niceness amongst 37,000 applications, you are insane - I, too, was just a number for Harvard Univ. and Law School. No one had ever met me before I showed up with trunk. That's the awful truth - our children (DD has applied) are just stats. to admissions[/quote]
