<p>one question: does not harvard require sat subjcet test scoresfrom different fields of study?</p>

23

<p>@shimmer</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, but what is this “anti-hook”? My hook is going to be about dance/leadership</p>

24

<p>Yah. For Harvard, you really need to make your applicatio shine. Try to tie everytihng together, and show them that you are passionate about something.</p>

25

<p>Good stats. Valedictorian and SAT is good, I’d say you’d have a shot. The bad thing is your CR, that might hurt, but your composite is good.</p>

<p>Chance me?

<p>Thanks guys, any ideas on how to really stand out in my essay?</p>

<p>“My hook is going to be about dance/leadership”</p>

<p>This aren’t hooks in your case. If the dance department wanted you and sent your name to admissions, then dance is a hook for you. As for leadership, you have some great ECs. So that will help you, though still isn’t a hook.</p>

<p>You are blessed with a well rounded background, which will get you into plenty of schools.</p>

<p>Nowadays the most selective universities seem to favor applicants with clear passion in one area that make them stand out on a national basis. If you won a recognized dance competition, that would qualify as an example.</p>

<p>Just trying to introduce a dose of reality to your self assessment.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, I will definitely think about leadership as a topic, </p>

<p>Shouldn’t your essay be about an experience you had that change your life?
or just your bragging essay?</p>

<p>@Cheesedude, unfortunately being Asian-American/Asian will often hurt chances for admission at schools (universities especially).</p>

30

<p>yeah i know :frowning: it doesnt help that ive done a lot of math competition, clubs, awards and service project for it!</p>

<p>should i be “un-asian” in my application?</p>

<p>You have better chances then many other applicants, but no one has high chances at Harvard. It’s a crap shot even for the best applicants. Best of luck though!</p>

<p>Could you please chance me back?
