<p>Congratulations everyone who was accepted, you're the best in the world going to the institution that is the best in the world! =] I am currently a junior in high school and i only wish to be in your shoes next year. However, I would also ask of you if you could perhaps post some of your statistics and activies you did in high school or maybe other suggestions you think may help those applying after you guys. That would be extremely helpful. Other than that... once again, congrats! =]</p>
<p>:P Statistics are only going to make you panic. </p>
<p>I say this because you can have 800s across the board, a 4.0, rank one in your class, captainship of the debate team and the football team…and still not make the waitlist. </p>
<p>Harvard accepts around 5% of its applicant pool. And there are literally thousands of valedictory candidates and kids with perfect SAT scores among them. </p>
<p>What can you do? Do your best! And then start hoping! </p>
<p>I say none of this to deter you or scare you – nothing ventured, nothing gained! You should always apply and go for it! But I’m saying be realistic…if you want stats, Collegeboard will give you the middle of the road!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
