From what I've read, the Harvard Admissions Board has about 30-40 members who vote on each applicant that has been recommended by a Regional Admission Officer. The applicants that get over 50% of the vote are in the admitted pool. My question is, do you think the recommendations of regional admissions officers carry equal weight with the entire board or do you think if one officer has significantly longer tenure in admissions, his/her recommendation carries more weight? I've been told that if my regional admissions officer recommends me, "I am in" - but I find that hard to believe.
