That’s, uh, weird.</p>
<p>Just sayin’.</p>
<p>ahha i guess stupefy already answered for me, but yes, yale 2014!</p>
<p>lolzz mifune pwnss all :p</p>
<p>ahhhmotherland you keep writing weird and stupid and dumb all over my posts and threads…
stop you are making me feel bad :-(</p>
<p>wow, the resume looks awesome. However, Harvard turns away many students with perfect stats and sometimes luck can play a mean trick too, so on that occassion, you should definitely apply to all of the ivies and schools that seem “like” Harvard (if you really wanna go there). From a standpoint, I would really like you to center yourself in the most powerful manner with your ecs, awards, and talent. I think you will have a real good chance at Yale too if you inform them of your musical genius b/c I notice that you have been devoted to this subject at best. Cheers and Good luck!</p>
<p>^She is already in Yale.
She was waitlisted in Harvard.</p>
<p>This post is a year old, for your info :-)</p>

<p>So many people on CC post this. What do you mean by “many”? Consider this approximation:
[ul][<em>]Fewer than 300 people a year get 2400 on the SAT. Let’s make this 350 to account for superscored 2400s (there aren’t that many derived this way, as most people do not retake very high scores).<br>
[</em>]Let’s assume that 40% of these people has an unweighted 4.0 GPA.<br>
[<em>]Let’s assume that 80% of those people is rank 1 in his or her class.
[</em>]Let’s assume that 35% of those people has three 800s on the SAT Subject Tests.
[li]Let’s assume that 60% of those people applies to Harvard.[/li][/ul]
Rounding up, that leaves 24 people. Even if Harvard were to reject all of them (which they certainly would not), I wouldn’t consider that “many.”</p>
<p>But your point that Harvard cares about more than merely numbers is definitely accurate; just be careful about supporting it correctly.</p>
<p>Hot damn, I don’t know how you didn’t manage to get in. My stats are relatively worse, Asian guy. Well, enjoy Yale! (I was rejected)</p>
<p>silverturtle, you are one of the 24 :-)</p>
<p>Who knows though, christiansoldier was one of them.</p>
<p>what ever happened to christiansoldier?</p>
<p>He is planning to attend Princeton; he also got into Stanford and a handful of other top tier schools.</p>
<p>I just met him on facebook!</p>
<p>ehh whatever, i mean i got into princeton, yale, columbia, etc. etc. with the same application, and i know a lot of people who got into harvard but none of the other ivies or other similar scenarios, so it really is subjective and random at times because there is not only your application, but a variety of other factors helping to decide your fate. but i think what the process taught me the most is that in the end, it really doesn’t matter if it’s harvard or not. it sure is not going to stop me from pursuing my goals!</p>
<p>serendipityy, thats why you are my heroine.
People accused me of being freaky at times, but you are really awesome!

You’re getting strange again… ;)</p>

Agree with the overall idea. However, I’d probably guess a higher percentage of scorers have a 4.0 UW, 3 800 SAT IIs and apply to Harvard whereas a lower number are valedictorians. Although my support is only anecdotal, my school churns out 1-4 2400s a year and very rarely are they valedictorians. Even with these changes, I doubt that the number of students who meet all the criteria is significantly greater.</p>
<p>^ I suppose I was being influenced by my school, where the GPA is capped; so almost any student who has taken even somewhat rigorous classes and maintains 4.0 will be Valedictorian even if another student has taken more weighted classes.</p>
<p>4.0’s at my school are pretty rare as well, although not to the extent of what you described in your school. Usually the top 5 or so students attain it.</p>
<p>“please give me a % chance for harvard”
15%</p>
<p>^ The OP has already completed the college admissions process. Moreover, you need to stop doing that percent chance thing; yours are almost never reasonable.</p>
