<p>Thanks for reading this, The people who already have got their decision, Congrats!! You deserve it and to the HS students, All the best, you will do well. :)</p>

<p>Seems like you will have a really good shot! I would be fairly surprised if you can’t get in ED. Can’t speak for RD which would be tougher, but pretty certain for ED I would think.</p>

<p>it looks like you will have a great chance for ED!</p>

<p>i got in with the same major with some lower stats overall. I will be really surprised if you don’t get in ED. If you are an URM then it’s almost a guarantee.</p>

<p>The deal breaker guys…I am an ORM:Asian ;)</p>

<p>And, Thank you for your kind words, I didn’t think I had such a good chance. :)</p>

<p>Any more chances would certainly help :)</p>

<p>Things that can hurt you:
ORM applying for overrepresented major
Things that help you:
Valedictorian on TOP of great scores
Fantastic and diverse ECs - but not way over the top</p>

<p>Yeah i’d be surprised if you get rejected ED. Valedictorian means a lot.</p>

<p>Thanks for the help Colene. :)</p>

<p>I agree, you have a very good chance of getting in ED. It’s a bit tougher for internationals but you have some very unique ECs.</p>

<p>Work hard on your essay and supplement though! Don’t screw it up!</p>

<p>Oh, she’s international? Ah- well that would be a bit more difficult. Good shot ED nevertheless.</p>

<p><em>HE</em>
Thanks anyway ;)</p>

<p>are you currently in india? (international applicant?)</p>

<p>(just kidding, saw you were in the previous posts)</p>

<p>I wouldn’t say you were guaranteed admission into harvard, but your stats look really good for cornell, I’d say! cornell is extremely selective, but your EC’s and awards definitely look up to par!</p>

<p>I love your name bnb :wink:
Ya, I know that Harvard is a loooong way but I am content with whatever I get. For that matter, even if I get into BU with merit aid or UCLA, I will be happy.
Thanks for those kind words, I love cornell :D</p>

<p>thanks! I like my name too!</p>

<p>haha I’m so scared as well. this whole process seems terrifying. but be proud of all you’ve done :D</p>

<p>:D :smiley:
Thanks bnb, btw are you a 17’er??</p>

<p>yup! :slight_smile: 10char</p>

<p>I just saw that you have a 2320 SAT…You are Harvard material not me!!</p>

<p>2320 ≠ Harvard, unfortunately. hahaha</p>

<p>but you’re kind :)</p>
