What about Richard Bradley--or Blow, as he might be in the University archives? Did he get into the big H as an undergrad?
 

He preempted rejection by not applying.

I actually got in an argument with my interviewer—I have no idea about what— after which we both came to the conclusion that Harvard and I were not a good fit.

Make of this what you will.
 

Rumor has it that Larry was rejected. It is a rumor, but I've heard it quite a lot.

I'm not sure I believe that the nephew of Samuelson and the son of Bob Summers, who was only 16 and a brilliant physics and math student, actually got rejected from Harvard, but you never know.
 

I realize the above sentence is terribly constructed, but you get the idea.
 

Larry was rejected from the College, but not the graduate school....as described in Harvard Rules.
 

Richard turned out pretty well all the same.
I like the interview story.
Former Bulldog.
 

The better story would focus on all the idiots who did get into Harvard.
 

Some useful lists for future issues of 02138:

Top 100 Harvard Criminals
Top 100 Harvard Teachers [Not]
 

"22,000 who apply for approximately 1,700 spots in the incoming freshman class."

And why do they want to go to Harvard so Badly??? Perhaps to be taught by a T.A.???
