<p>THANKSSS!</p>

<p>Well you obviously know your scores and achievements are high level. With that said, there is no way of knowing if you can get into Harvard. With most Ivies and even several non-Ivy but competitive schools, you just can’t tell. You look like an incredible applicant, but so will most of the others. With an acceptance rate of less than 7%, it’s pretty much luck.
So my advice is don’t stress yourself. You look incredibly qualified, so just apply and see what happens. That’s the only way you will know.</p>

<p>You mention a lot of participating in the math competitions. What were your actual scores? Did you make AIME? How about gold/silver/bronze/hon men for USAMTS?</p>

<p>Dude, you’re like a superhuman haha. But no a lot harvard applicants have amazing achievements such as these. I guess the only thing for you to worry about is your essay. That’s your time to show them you. To show them who you really are. And if you’re good with your words, you have an even higher chance of getting in. But like the first guy said…you just really don’t know whos gonna get accepted. I looked at harvard 2012 forum and there was a thread that showed who got accepted, denied, and waitlisted. When I saw the people who got accepted…it looked like their names we’re picked out of a bag lol. Some people who were denied were 10 times more qualified than some people who got accepted. It’s like the lottery. But you’re definitely qualified.</p>
