Actually, my experience is it happens, silly or not. My presumption is that, anecdote or not, if I've personally observed a couple of occurrences, it ain't all that uncommon.
ACT just isn't as important as SAT to the Ivys (and non-southern schools in general). A 2400 is more of a guarantee than a 36.

Here's the admission matrix from Harvard.
Where'd you get this from? Just curious

Already explained. You are really dense.

Don't know that i've heard of an Ivy going with ACT scores, especially when they require 3 SAT subject tests too.

Already explained what? I didn't even ask a question, just made a general factual statement

Have an account with a site that follows such things. Each dot represents a single applicant - there's a lot of red stacked together in those thicker places, but its hard to graphically show in 500 pixels. What I wanted to show is clearly 36s are denied and in some cases 16s are let into Harvard.
My guess is the 16 is a legacy. Grandpa gives a lot of money so snowflake is let in, despite being dumb.

Hey I'm just trying to engage in constructive dialogue. Zach is the one who keeps ducking and deflecting

I am simply silly then. I've seen 36s with extracurriculars and honors several pages long be denied and a 28 with not even half the accolades get in. Same school. Same class. Different zip code.
Are you an admissions director at an Ivy League school? If you aren't, then I don't see how you can factually make that statement.
I'm not saying favortism, and social agendas, don't exist... I'm saying that extreme seems unlikely.

ACT 36 is in. The rest out.

My understanding of what Harvard is doing, is different from this. I believe they are dedicating more endowment money to kids who are smart and can handle the academics, but who are poor and cannot afford to attend, who are smart enough to get in, but maybe not smart enough to get a full academic scholarship.
Harvard itself doesn't offer merit-based scholarships. Directly from their financial aid page:

We follow two key principles:
Admission to Harvard is need-blind, meaning your financial need will not impede your chances of admission.
Aid is based entirely on need, not merit.
If you are smart enough to get in, that's it. You're in, and they will ensure you can afford it.
OP is spreading complete bullshite for reasons known only to himself.

Hat's off to you. 
I could have guessed which poster would have squealed the loudest, and they did right on cue.
