Harvard’s a crapshoot. You could get in, but most people as qualified as you (and even more so) get rejected. But go for it anyway!!

3

Would you say Princeton, Brown and John Hopkins are the same?

You’re certainly within the academic range of all four – but now it goes to the “soft” factors of your statements and LORs and how you present yourself. Congrats on your achievements to date. Even if none of these four are lucky to have you, I’m sure you’ll do great wherever you attend. Good luck, though!

@2150Loser all of the ivy schools and highly selective schools are the same. With you grades you theoretically have a shot but honestly almost every applicant will have similar grades and test scores. You can never tell but I wish you the best of luck!

6

@2150Loser as everyone is saying, you have the objective numbers so it will come down to the subjective part of your app. Of the four, I think Hopkins is your safest school. But you definitely need some safeties, which I’m assuming you have??
