Note

  • Display Note: Text: "Dear Harris, Thank you for your prompt attention to my letter and for the interest that you have manifested in Philip's application to Harvard. As a National Merit semi-finalist he is competing for a scholarship through their foundation. In addition, he is applying directly to Harvard for a scholarship. In my previous letter I believe I failed to mention that he is one of 10 seniors in his class of 400 who has been ranked as first place. This may be worthy of consideration. Anything you can do to bring him to the favorable attention of the Admissions' Office will be greatly appreciated. With kindest regards to all, Sincerely, Sugar K. G."
