To start off, I do not mean this to be snooty. What I mean by 'not qualified' are those people that apply more as a joke than anything. I've had a couple people at my school with very low rankings and GPA who knew they would be rejected but still applied regardless just to say "I got rejected from Harvard" (don't ask me why they wanted to pay the $70 dollar app fee for a joke lol). This could also include individuals that just don't recognize they aren't as competitive as they may think, or have been disillusioned by their parents or unnecessarily pushed to apply. I'm asking more out of curiosity than anything. We all know that Harvard is a reach for everyone and most applicants are all incredibly qualified. But what about those who aren't?
