What are some cool Harvard acceptance stories?write them in this thread
Aren’t you a high school freshman? I think you should do yourself a favor and step back from the hyperfocus on elite schools. So many of your posts are about what to do to get into Harvard. Nobody can give you a blueprint for that, and I think it’s a mistake to frame every choice around whether or not it might get you into a school with single digits admission rates.
Here’s one.
A relatively unknown community organizer, born in Hawaii, attended Occidental and transferred, he then came out of of nowhere to become a very well known person in matter of four years.
He was able to land a big job and worked there for 8 straight years Once he retired from his job, his daughter has been accepted to Harvard from a very small school in Washington DC.
Not sure of her stats but she seems poised and bright.
He didn’t transfer from Occidental to Harvard for undergrad. He transferred to Columbia. He had some advantage in admissions due to being URM, Ivy Legacy and private prep school graduate from Hawaii but from his later performance, it seems justified.
He did attend Harvard law school but certainly not the Harvard undergrad admission success story OP asked for.
@Riversider I believe the cool acceptance story was meant to be about the daughter
In that case, it sure is a cool story, being a defacto princess has its perks. To be fair, we don’t know if she was accepted on merit. Even she wouldn’t know.
@Riversider – I took the post by @privatebanker to be “tongue in cheek” rather than to be taken seriously.
Lol. I was certainly posting as satire.
But it is a pretty cool and true story. Now that I think about it.
If true, Kennedy and Kushner’s Harvard acceptance stories are pretty cool too. So are hundreds of stories of numerous privileged kids getting in to top schools every year where they may never get accepted without their privilege of wealth, heritage, opportunities, recommendations etc.
