Yesterday our out-of-town friends came to visit us as they were moving their elder son to med school. They told us of the story of how their second son is now enrolled at Harvard Law after attending classes for a few days at Columbia.
Apparently there was a girl who had always wanted to attend Harvard Law but was on their wait list. One day, after starting classes at Columbia she wrote an email to Harvard admissions stating that she was still interested in Harvard and will move immediately if they would get her off the wait list. I was told she spent 6 hours composing this email.
Our friend's son who was also enrolled at Columbia and waitlisted at Harvard, heard of this girl's story through a mutual friend who was already admitted at Harvard. He quickly wrote a similar email in 2 minutes. Bingo, he was also admitted.
This very motivated girl round shared housing with our friend's son and they moved up together. It was very fortunate that Columbia started classes before Harvard.
Moral of the story, never give up.
