When Erin Kaivan was in the fifth grade, she made three outspoken promises to the world: that she would become an actress, she would reach six feet in height, and that she would go to Harvard. Of the three predictions, one came close to realization (Erin is 5' 11''), one was forgotten (she became a soldier, not an actress), and one leads to where she is now, at HBS. [...]
