<p>So, do you guys think that's enough? or what?</p>
<p>2 things:</p>
<p>1) Don't try to win awards just to impress the adcoms. It'll make your life miserable and if you don't win stuff...it might cause you to have a nervous breakdown.<br>
Think of it this way, Pulitzer Prize winning authors do not set out to write a novel in hopes of winning a Pulitzer Prize. Rather, they usually concentrate on writing a good novel for the sake of writing good fiction. The prize, however prestigious is an afterthought or the cherry on the top. The real prize for the author is and should be (at least most of the time) the satisfaction of writing a good novel.</p>
<p>2) To answer your question, I don't know if your awards are "good enough." Considering you are posting this in the Harvard Board....I'd lean towards: no. I've seen far more impressive accomplishments in terms of awards in a variety of fields and disciplines. But remember, Harvard doesnt base admissions solely on awards. Frankly, everything from your test scores to your essay to your GPA to your course selection matters. So no one can really tell you whether your awards a sufficient.</p>
<p>
Don't be so 'preachy' please.</p>
<p>WindCloudUltra: Don't you find it funny that people love to attack you and other members of the Harvard Undergraduate Community posting on CC (saxfreq, just<em>forget</em>me, sunglasses, lowellbelle, me, you, etc. that I know of so far)?</p>
<p>Haha...xjayz..
Yeah...apparently we don't know anything.
I don't know why we bother sometimes. I'm not sure if The Ace is Back knows I go to H though. Not that it really matters where I go...that's quite irrelevant. I would still offer the same advice and comment to the OP if I attend a different school.</p>
<p>To The Ace is Back: Maybe the tone of what I wrote does veer towards the didactic side; but I stand by what I said. And orbitgum didn't write that, I did.</p>
<p>Haha I'm not attacking anybody so don't worry. I just don't see the need to be so preachy all the time, when there's not even a suggestion that he/she/it is doing awards 'to impress the adcoms'. It's like everyone's desperate to impart their wisdom, even when it's not relevant.. as you say, orbitgum didn't write that, you did!</p>
<p>Sorry if I've hurt you though. I appreciate most of the input on these forums, and think it's good of Harvard students to take the time out to help. Just sometimes it gets a bit over the top.</p>
<p>Haha...no offense taken, Ace.</p>
<p>Saxfreq made it off the waitlist into H?</p>
