37. I have no doubt there are stories like this all over the Ivy League

My own experience is with University of Notre Dame where the competition for acceptance is just as intense.

Also what about those recent news stories where celebrities got their children into a highly competitive school (grades weren't good enough, but we found another way) by getting them admitted through varsity athletic scholarships?

Now that I think about it, Harvard could have accepted Barron Chump as a varsity basketball player and nobody would have batted an eye. If they don't have varsity basketball, OK what about ice hockey? I don't even know if he's athletically inclined, but it wouldn't have mattered. The college coaches and athletic directors have a lot of leeway in offering varsity scholarships and in some cases, it has encouraged abuse and fraud.
