  • Pianist George Li of Lexington on His Admissions to Harvard, Yale and Other Top Schools

    By David Li, bostonese.com

    George Li, sitting in front of the piano at his home in Lexington, Mass, smiled at my camera. With three acceptance letters from Harvard, Yale and Juilliard next to each other on the piano, who wouldn’t smile. Less than two years ago, George Li worried about passing through all the security check points to perform at a State Dinner in the White House for President Obama and German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Now, he must decide which top school he will attend this Fall by May 1.
