Harvard has made a laudable and well-publicized effort to reach out to lower-income students, and this absolute good cannot change; especially as the markets plunge, financial aid becomes more and more crucial. Neither prospective students nor current students should ever find themselves unable to meet the asking price.

...sumés are genuinely important down the line, and a rewarding college experience in many cases doesn’t preclude coming away with a good one. But students’ too-common error is to excessively focus on the final product, and unwittingly abandon other crucial aspects of college life. Even within the competitive environment at Harvard, it’s essential that activities and classes be treated as rare opportunities for intellectual and personal growth.
