She didn’t just get the ‘W,’ she pitched a complete-game no-hitter with seven strikeouts and a single walk—the only blemish on an otherwise perfect stat sheet.

Harvard reeled off 12 straight wins following that loss...

That being said, the root of the problem is the hyper-competitive culture of college admissions, which has bred the notion that only perfect, blemish-free applicants will be admitted. Harvard students know this is false. Some of our most interesting and accomplished peers have overcome mistakes in their pasts. The Admissions Office should do its part to communicate this to parents and high schools, so that parents do not put pressure on their secondary school...
