Harvard rejected my daughter’s application. She graduated HS in 2013. All AP and/or IB courses. Valedictorian. scored 2350 on SAT, 35 on ACT. tutored calculus, speaks 2 languages, played 2 musical instruments, state champion swimmer. plenty of volunteer/charity work. writes better than most. had a 2+ hour interview with an alum that gave her the highest recommendation. But Harvard doesn’t want white girls from WNY.

Well, there’s the problem. She should have applied as a person of color, or American Indian. Apparently, no burden of proof is required....I’ll bet she has integrity, hasn’t she? In the dog eat dog world of ivy league admissions, that quality is apparently overrated.
You should thank them! They did her (and you) a favor!
Where did she go to college?
Too bad your daughter wasn’t gay or trans. Did you think of Ancestry.com? All she would have needed is a trace of black and she’d have gotten a full ride.
