Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>i'd say reach/slight reach just because harvard is a reach for everyone, unless you're insane. it's a crapshoot. but stuff like volunteering at the hospital is dimes a dozen and won't help much anyways.</p>

22

<p>haha good chance! but not guaranteed! let me know if they reject you, I'll call them myself and ask why!</p>

23

<p>lol sounds like ur rooting for me to get rejected?</p>

<p>but either way, i wont be totally crushed. i love other schools just as much, like duke, stanford, and even UMich haha</p>

<p>so i think i'll be happy no matter wat</p>

24

<p>anything but Duke please! I hate them with a passion</p>

25

<p>I think you have a slight chance, better than most.</p>

26

<p>should have said you were Mexican!!!</p>

<p>That is such a stupid mistake for a smart kid. </p>

<p>Hopefully race will play in your favor. </p>

<p>the thing is,colleges look at the graduating class before you. If your school always producess Ivies, you will be more likely to get accepted into a ivy because of like school reputation. </p>

<p>honestly no one can be sure that they will get into harvard. Look into it and also look into like a safety school like CMU or something.</p>

27

<p>I have a thought...</p>

<p>... you don't need to bold or CAPITALIZE words so that we can see them. =)</p>

28

<p>you kinda should be more one sided because colleges would rather pick some one that’s amazing at one thing than pick someone thats good at everyone</p>

<p>This thread is very old.</p>

<p>I think that you’re stats are good, but you’re Ecs are a tad weak, and you essays/recs don’t sound as strong as they possibly can. URM should help, though; I say you are a bubble applicant and I wish you the best of luck! :)</p>

<p>Chance back:</p>

<p>personally i think there are THOUSANDS of applicants that Harvard receives that have identical stats. Somebody that I know had a perfect SAT score and still didn’t get in. However, if you find that “hook” or something that separates you from the others, you should be a strong candidate.</p>

<p>chance me back?
