a question for the BEST and the brightest!

<p>As harvard applicants, I believe that you guys are some of best and brightest individuals.</p>

<p>Can you guys share what you did to even qualify yourself as a Harvard applicant? Does everyone here study 24/7? What is your work ethic and study schedule like?</p>

<p>Follow your passions...there's no set of rules or criteria that you have to fulfill. BTW: you don't "qualify" to become a Harvard applicant. Anyone can apply...just fill out an app form. </p>

<p>My advice: take the most challenging and fulfilling course load, work hard (but don't forget your extracurriculars too), write good essays, and pray for the best.</p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>Although there are people who study 24/7 and get accepted to HYP they are the minority. If you are dedicated and amazing at one thing with rather sucessful academics you have a higher chance. A lot of people are more predisposed to do well at academics with frees up more of their time for activities. But do what you do well at and if you are not at the Harvard level don't over work to get into the school. It would only stress you out more when you get there.</p>

<p>grasp every opportunity you get.</p>

<p>im sorry but what does HYP stand for? harvard youth program? you guys lost me</p>

<p>HYP = Harvard, Yale, Princeton :)</p>
