held annual concerts to raise money for the CVIC
Marketplace for kids-younger.
Started a science club
theatre- 6 years( also in middle school) 5 years of advanced theatrical arts, but I've sort of lost interest in that now.)
Volunteer "techie" for numerous concerts and plays around the area for 4 years.
that's all I can think of at the moment.</p>

<p>Hooks and other miscellaneous factors-
EXTREMELY good essay and reccomendations. One from the physics professor(hand-written)
I live in North Dakota so I have a geographical advantage.
I am very good with adults so I believe I will have an outstanding interview.</p>

<p>I really appreciate your time! I have a preposterous fascination with science and plan to major in physics or bio. Harvard will fit me perfectly!</p>

2

<p>I can almost guarantee your in. Great ACT and SAT II’s.</p>

3

<p>There’s no guarantee…but you are definitely a strong candidate.</p>

4

<p>thanks for the feedback! What do you think are my strong points in EC’s?</p>

5

<p>

</p>

<p>The problem, of course, is that adults may not be as good with teenagers. That’s the only truth about this process. :p</p>

6

<p>Very true indeed, but I am assuming that the Harvard alumni are very mature with social prowess. Have you been interviewed yet??</p>

7

<p>^ I’m glad your entire post isn’t written like your title… I’d have to kill you. Your qualified, but it all comes down to the essays (how were those thingies anyway?).</p>

8

<p>HAHA yea that would be a bit time-consuming to read! They were really fun actually! I love to write and (not to brag) I have a very large vocabulary as well. I wrote about an experience at my hospital and how it affected me. To Princeton I wrote about my love of science.</p>

9

<p>You look good but there is no guarentee at Harvard.</p>

10

<p>Yeah, if you think they’re good, then that means something. Good luck.</p>

11

<p>Thanks Doberhound. Idiosyncra3y, what else can I do to better my application do you think?</p>

12

<p>Actually, the more I read it, the better it looks. Some national science quizzy things would be great IMO. Perhaps if you could get some of that research published it would be great.</p>

<p>Just one thing to go BANG on top I think would be perfect… When are you applying btw? next year I assume?</p>

13

<p>Yep, prob like Decemberish. Ya I believe my essays and recs will help a lot. Hopefully my projects will win into the semi-finalists in STS or something.</p>
