Very late to this, but this is so well written! By far the most nuanced take I’ve read. Curious to hear your thoughts on the new focus on Harvard legacy students as well!

Also I did not know our application year was included in the case. Feels like breaking the fourth wall somehow

I remembered noting it at the time but had to look it up again to confirm. It does make it feel a bit more personal. I regret never going to the registrar to see my file.

And thanks! The legacy stuff is interesting. Compared to athletic recruitment at least, it feels a bit more defensible to me. It also seems maybe more financially necessary at other schools than Harvard with its endowment. I'll try to throw in some stuff about it in the next issue.
