I was browsing here, and found the earlier question about what Harvard looks for. Most of the people who replied said they wanted famous people, or people with famous parents, or people who had families of Harvard alumni. I'm willing to believe that the bit about being famous is an exaggeration, but hasn't Harvard got a reputation for its academic quality? Why would they look at anything past grades and extracurriculars?
If my question seems dumb, excuse my ignorance; I am a highschool freshman attending a public highschool, and aiming for an Ivy League school or the equivalent. My family isn't rolling in dough; to put it briefly, how many middle-class students actually get accepted into Ivy-type schools?
