<p>I was too, but i sort of got in under control. I have to relax for like an hour beforehand so that i don't get to anxious or worked up about it. That really helped my scores this year.</p>
<p>Didn't help here:)</p>
<p>same problem. my grades are not perfect. i don't turn in some of the busywork, but i've consistently gotten 5s on my APs. i know the stuff, but can't be bothered to do the work i don't need....</p>
<p>i'm sorry ontolome. I hate busy work too. Like my calc teacher will assigns problems 1-60. and it is so repetitive that i have a hard time doing them. But thank god she doesn't check homework</p>
<p>going back a few pages- about that Cedric Jennings kid- he didnt apply to harvard, that is why he didnt get in :)</p>
<p>I just read the book about him, and the only application he actually sent in was for Brown, although he had others ready (they mentioned Duke and Dartmouth)</p>
<p>he applied early to brown, which explains why it was his only app.</p>
<p>well some people send in all their apps and withdraw if they get in ED somewhere</p>
<p>Yeah, anyway, the Harvard admissions officers are quite clear that it is necessary to apply. "You can't get in if you don't apply" was the saying I heard at the first Harvard information meeting I ever attended. </p>
<p>Most people who apply to Harvard SCEA are well advised to take advantage of Harvard's permission to apply for "rolling admission" to some state school and to have regular-round applications ready before the deadlines for those. Let's face it: Harvard has a low base acceptance rate, which isn't likely to become higher any time soon. </p>
<p>Good luck to everyone applying this year.</p>
