Presiding Over the Harvard Admissions Trial: A Judge Who Was Rejected From Harvard

Harvard (MA) casts a large shadow over the Federal District Court in Boston, and not just because the college’s admissions system is on trial in one of the courtrooms here.  Day after day, Harvard graduates fill the witness box and gallery at the trial of Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College.  
And then there is the judge who will decide the case, who it turns out has a Harvard connection of her own.  
Judge Allison D. Burroughs, the daughter of a Harvard graduate, sought to be a Harvard graduate herself, but did not get in.
