    Unfortunately Harvard does not treat all applicants equally in the admission process. Perhaps you should explain the reason for the Dean's interest list..

      I think u have to put that list in perspective, this is not black and white, some donated millions so their kid could get in, that millions would have helped others kids to afford financial aids.

    What Harvard wants? Allegedly, Is for their students parents to make out a 500k check to the charity of their choice. Usually the schools own charity and it helps if you’re a legacy that had parents that went to Harvard. Oh yea and “work hard” and “get good grades”.
