Competitive for Harvard?

<p>Hello, here are my quick stats, please tell me my chances.</p>

<p>White male, Manhattan island.
GPA: 2.05 (one C+ in 9th grade in Commercial Art -- luck on one of the finals), weighted: 2.05.
SAT: 700/2400.
Courses: dropped school after 10th grade, took review of ariphmetics in 10th.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
- I import drugs from North Korea and sell them here.
- I help out guys with cheating on their tests, secretly passing notes and adding medicals to teachers' bewarages to make them sleep.</p>

<p>Leadership:
- I have founded and been a president of international illegal drug transportation company.</p>

<p>Awards:
- "You r Da Man Daaawg!" award by Nick "Broken Leg" from South Bronx.</p>

<p>So how do you think I look? Should I apply to other U's or I have solid chances at H?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>I think you're the penultimate candidate for HYPSM.</p>

<p>penultimate means second to last, that joke didnt even make sense.</p>

<p>are you an URM? might give you some points...</p>

<p>Colombian?</p>

<p>You're in...your work experience alone is so impressive.</p>

<p>it really sucks that you're white...if you were black, you'd be in for sure</p>

<p>North Korea or Afghanistan? I personally prefer Afghan Opium.</p>

<p>Im pretty sure he's the guy that hands out rolling papers with his number on them in front of the Natural History Museum. (Swear to God, some kid actually does this).</p>

<p>Let's take a look at your stats:</p>

<p>GPA: your GPA isn't so good, I'm afraid. At least not for Harvard. In fact I really don't think anyone can get into Harvard with that kind of GPA. Sorry I don't mean to be harsh.</p>

<p>SAT: is 700 for one section or 3 sections? If it's for 3 sections then it is well below the Harvard SAT average, and like I said, I don't think anyone gets into Harvard with a 700.</p>

<p>Course: Gee, I really don't know if you can apply to Harvard without junior grades. Doesn't Harvard require a certain number of years in certain subjects? You should consult its website to see if you are eligible to apply at <a href="http://www.harvard.edu%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.harvard.edu&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>ECs: Well, your ECs are certainly interesting, but they seem to be illegal. It's a risk to mention that on your application because you never know the beliefs of the admissions officer reading it and you could rub him/her the wrong way. I personally wouldn't risk writing those ECs. Maybe you could come up with some other ones?</p>

<p>Leadership: Founding a company definitely earns you brownie points! Like I said though, I don't know how an admissions officer would feel about an illegal company. Maybe you could rephrase it, like "I founded an international transportation company that handles a multitude of tasks."</p>

<p>Awards: I don't know if that even counts. I think Harvard is looking for academic awards. It wouldn't hurt to put it on there....I guess?</p>

<p>Chances: well, I don't know. Your chances don't look so good. Maybe you should look into a community college, transfer into a four-year university, build up a good college transcript, and think about applying to Harvard graduate school. Good luck!</p>

<p>Vicissitudes, you're just jealous :((</p>

<p>mr_chipset, you're not funny.</p>
