did anyone get into Harvard with B/Cs on their high school transcript?

Applying to College

<p>Ok thanks!</p>

<p>I’ve actually gotten over everything and learned a lot of valuable lessons (albeit through a hard way)…
But I’m publishing an individual research of mine in a journal and I’m working on developing a legitimate clinical vaccine for a bacterial disease which affects pets and immunocompromised individuals worldwide. Maybe this may help my case?</p>

<p>No, you have to cure cancer.
jk, but really it’s gonna help obviously, but it’s still a crapshoot.</p>

<p>Harvard sucks anyway… Buildings are old as **** and no hot chicks there… Go to a hot college like Florida, UCLA, etc…</p>

<p>I know plenty of kids at my school who’ve received the occasional C on their report card (albeit, in rigorous classes) who’ve gone to the “less” competitive ivies and even know of an unhooked/non-legacy classmate who graduated with a 3.27 and got into Cornell. But no, of Harvard I have never heard of someone without a spotless record get in.</p>

<p>did u have honors</p>

<p>I’m sure quite a few people have gotten into Harvard with Bs/Cs but these applicants would most likely have connections, are athletes, or are URMs.</p>

<p>Thequaker: Do you what other factors could have gotten you in? just wondering :)</p>

<p>Faery: welcome to CC. However CC rule #1. Look at the date of the posts and don’t resurrect old threads. “Quaker” posted his/her reply in 2006 and is likely graduated from college already. </p>

<p>This thread will be locked per usual practice. You should make inquiries at the Harvard-specific forum.</p>
