<p>ah coureur your post is unbelievably reassuring to me. i was worried about a foolish B i got in french junior year, and i am a national merit sf (finalist comes out in february). im still kicking myself for that B, because it was entirely my fault (not doing hwk, etc).</p>
<p>-and ivyleague, some people get turned off by the notion of crimsons being stuck up. i used to hold that image of harvard, but it was erased when i visited and spoke to people who go/went there.</p>
