<p>I always think the Decision threads are worth a look: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/894548-official-harvard-university-rd-decisions-class-of-2014-p1.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/894548-official-harvard-university-rd-decisions-class-of-2014-p1.html</a> Plenty of kids with great scores and activities getting rejected, plenty who don’t seem that special when you just see a list of stuff that get accepted. Some with lower scores, but extenuating circumstances get in. It’s really hard to predict what it takes. </p>
