<p>To all of you who (are currently/have finished) college: can you please post your college application resume and the colleges you applied to and the results. Also post the year in which you applied and which school you decided to attend. The reason for this is because I would like to get a glimpse of what is to come and perhaps some hope as well. Thank you.</p>
<p>Why would you post this thread on the Harvard board?</p>
<p>(s)he is specifically interested in these results for harvard?</p>
<p>The same thread is posted on Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Cornell forums. </p>
<p>The one drawback of this approach is that the next application year will probably be more competitive at all four of those colleges than the application year of any recent college graduate. The short answer is that most students admitted to any of those colleges have had quite impressive accomplishments in high school.</p>
<p>Probably a better way to accomplish your goals is to look at last year's Admissions results threads. They tend to be biased to the accepted kids, but there are enough rejecteds to give you an idea what the odds are. FWIW my kid last year (you can dig up his stats elsewhere), got into Harvard, Carnegie Mellon, RPI and WPI, was waitlisted at Harvey Mudd and was rejected at Stanford, MIT and Caltech. (He'd been deferred from EA round at the last two for what that's worth.)</p>
<p>results don't really matter. The admission's decision regarding every kid is on a one-to-one basis. If I were you, I would work to my own potential and then apply to college. Some kids in my school ask me about everything so they can just copy my ECs in hopes that in 4 years, they will be able to apply and be accepted to some top Ivy. This is stupidity at its extreme. There are many important factors in my family background, my personality, my achievements, and my ECs that could support my application but not for another. What Varsity Soccer to one kid may not help another stand out. For instance, varsity soccer for a kid who self-taught vs a kid who got lessons if a completely different picture. AP Physics C self-study vs taking the course is alot different. In the end, it's your achievements in respect to how it was achieved that will get you into the college of your choice.</p>
