<p>^/^^I hate you both 0_o hahaha. jk</p>
<p>The attention was bad enough when I made it on Jeopardy, I shudder to think what would happen if Harvard let me in…the majority of our kids end up at Maryland (instate).</p>
<p>In orientation, our principal says “our school has a 99% graduation rate”. One of the parents asked what % go to college and our principal replies “We have a 99% graduation rate.” Another parent, realizing the principal completely avoided the question, asks “Yes, but how many of them go to college?” Our principal goes “We prepare all our students for college…” and goes off about the dual enrollment program or something.</p>
<p>Like 10% of my school goes to a 4 year college ;[</p>
<p>Lol, epic maneuvering by principle was epic. He did a barrel roll, for sure.</p>
<p>@Handala92, yes I got a LL.</p>
<p>I’m soooooo lucky, since I don’t have to deal with people asking me about my schools. I haven’t told ANYONE about H at school and I intend to keep it that way. People at my school are really competitive and it just saves the breath I’ll have to waste when every person asks if I got into Harvard, and I sadly say no. This way no one asks and the rejection just lasts for those 5 minutes I read that email before I move on with my life.</p>
<p>Ugh…rejections from MIT/Stanford/Williams made me lose ALL confidence…what a failure of 15 years of my life</p>
<p>lolz @ the becoming instant celebrity.</p>
<p>last year only one girl got into harvard from my school and it became her defining characteristic despite her being an incredible person outside of that. she was president of one of our high school’s NHS and didn’t have a prom date at the April meeting so the VP on another school’s board got the mic and announced, “oh last thing: Linda needs a prom date. She got into Harvard. I repeat, she got into Harvard. and if you go with her you can get five hours community service.” in front of the five-hundred member NHS, bahahha.</p>
<p>they’re friends so it was cool, but she was still pretty embarrassed.</p>
<p>I so can’t wait! I am the first student from my school to apply, and probably be rejected form an Ivy League! The best anyone from my school has ever done is Rice. That’s only been 3 kids who have gone there in the school’s entire history. I’m trying to change things. It is already a huge deal that I’ve been accepted to BC and NYU, haha!</p>
<p>The bonus to everyone knowing you got into Harvard? You’d probably be able to rob a bank and no one would even bat an eye. All they’d think about was your speshul epic Harvard acceptance.</p>
<p>Now THAT is funny. :D</p>
<p>Baahahahahhahah @ elchagas!!! I would have have been incredibly embarrased!!!</p>
<p>ook just realized that made no sense. I go to one high school but it’s on a three high school campus so we have 6000 kids enrolled together and some clubs (NHS included) are combined.</p>

<p>make more sense?</p>
<p>ocgirl and handala: if accepted to Harvard, would you choose it over Stanford? I’m just wondering because I got into Stanford too…</p>
<p>How come? 100 posts! woo!</p>
<p>@Handala</p>
<p>Thanks for the slightly-confidence-boosting comment…I’m just very confused by Williams, not so much MIT/Stanford…</p>
<p>I got in to WashU (with 10k/yr merit), Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Amherst, Wesleyan (early write), Caltech, and waitlisted at Georgetown.</p>
<p>If you’ll allow me to think out loud, does anyone think that my Williams rejection could have been because of their supplemental essay? I don’t remember it being especially strong…but that would mean that since Harvard was a different supplemental essay it might turn out better.</p>
<p>I don’t understand how people who have gotten into extremely selective schools (and gotten rejected from some) are nervous about Harvard. Honestly, it’s all a crapshoot past a certain point. I, on the other hand, have yet to be accepted to a school with an acceptance rate of less than 50%…</p>
<p>What’s the “official page” that the original poster said?</p>
<p>@Handala92 - It’s also Stanford. Which has a ridiculously low acceptance rate. And ridiculously high standards, if I may complain about my rejection for a bit. Congrats on your acceptance!</p>
<p>Hello CCers!!! I see some familiar names 
Good luck to you all Harvard hopefuls Remember being happy is NOW, not just getting into harvard :D</p>
