Senior adviser Karl Rove describes him as "brilliant," but Gottesman had a notable hurdle: he went to work for the presidential campaign when he was 19, so he didn't finish his undergraduate degree. He found a 1991 Boston Globe article, "Harvard Business School on a High School Diploma," that described cases of successful graduates who had been admitted without finishing college, and he won over admissions officials by outlining the earlier cases in an essay.

After eight straight appearances in the NCAA Championships, including a third-place finish last year, the Black and White was left without an invitation this year. Radcliffe was hurt by a four-regatta losing streak towards the end of the season.
