<p>I know from other treads that Harvard doesn't just look for one main thing but a wide variety. </p>
<p>Regardless what do you think really stood out the most on the application? Having many EC's or your high grades?</p>
<p>Thanks for any replies.</p>
<p>There are close to 7 billion people on the planet earth and ~2,000 (if I recall correctly) spots for freshmen at Harvard.</p>
<p>There are many students who have perfect or nearly perfect scores and oodles of extra-curricular activities.</p>
<p>What makes you unique?</p>
<p>I understand the concept that you need something special to stand out. </p>
<p>However, what would bring about the best response on an application? </p>
<p>Saying you worked at a shelter for lost animals for years or having a great GPA?</p>
<p>There’s no good answer for this type of question. Though it’s really unsatisfying to hear, one needs to be outstanding in all parts of their application or world-class in one and pretty good in the rest in order to gain acceptance to a school like Harvard.</p>
<p>Thank You both for the information. Greatly appreciated the responses.</p>
