<p>Essays:

Teacher Recs: excellent
Counselor rec: really excellent
Interview: went really well, lasted almost an hour because we started discussing international politics lol</p>

<p>To be honest, no one can tell. Just wait it out :)</p>

<p>look at all of the other chance threads and see if you notice anything similar…</p>

<p>there are SO many qualified people and they can only take a couple thousand. it’s really luck if anyone gets in. if someone gets rejected, that doesn’t always mean that they’re not qualified. clearly your stats are excellent…but you just can’t tell because there are so many applicants with amazing stats.</p>

<p>Don’t panic! At this point, all I can suggest is take a deep breath and find ways to distract yourself!</p>

<p>I REALLY wanted to go to Harvard. Didn’t get in. I’m at Davidson. I LOVE IT! I can’t even imagine being at any other school (even Harvard) and being this happy with college. Best decision I’ve ever made.</p>

<p>Remember, upwards of 85% of the Harvard applicants are considered “qualified.” You just have to hope you’re one of the lucky ones. But if you don’t get picked…don’t take it personally, because you probably deserved to go there…there’s just not space for everyone and you’re not less important or less intelligent than the students who are accepted.</p>

<p>I wish you luck!</p>
