I think more highly of Harvard's admission department than that. At the very least, Andraka has shown himself capable of finding a champion within the system through persistence.
Yeah, I thought while reading the OP:
One could likely get into Harvard by winning a Nobel Prize, or being the guy from "Good Will Hunting".
This method seems neither guaranteed nor widely known.
If you've already got a Nobel, what do you need to get into Harvard for?
Maybe you want to study something you're not already an expert in? (For example, Feynman spent some time taking graduate biology courses.)
