<p>Haha. Good old melodramatic Shelly.</p>

<p>Harvard hasn’t taken anyone from my school since 2001. I doubt they’ll start now but there’s always that teensy tiny hope!!</p>
<p>^I’ve got you beat. Last student admitted was in 1973. -_____-</p>
<p>Oh man that’s intense! good luck!!!</p>
<p>^^^ Yep, last time someone got into Harvard: 2002 and she had like triple legacy I believe.</p>
<p>My school had four students (out of the ten that applied) get into Harvard last year though everyone got rejected by Yale haha.</p>
<p>^^^The other student had a 1600/1600 and a 99.87% UW. I’m done for, but I’ll continue to be an annoying presence here until my rejection banishes me from the province of the Harvard thread forever.</p>
<p>O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;<br>
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won; (except I shan’t be winning)
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,<br>
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:<br>
But O heart! heart! heart!<br>
O the bleeding drops of red,<br>
Where on the deck my Captain lies,<br>
Fallen cold and dead. –>and thus ends ksarmand’s foolhardy ambition (for now :))</p>
<p>@Handala92: Perhaps they had diff. reasons for going, like the uber-cool “That’s Why I chose Yale” video.</p>
<p>Ksarmand, you have a thing for Romantic poetry? (Actually forget that, Whitman isn’t Romantic, Shelley is though)</p>
<p>@Handala92 - Personally, if faced with that choice, I’ll have a mighty difficult time. No one wins straight out in my eyes. But the level of attention Yale has given to me has been amazing and incredibly heart-warming.</p>
<p>^Yes, I love Romantic poetry. That, along with manga, forms the basis of my daily reading.</p>
<p>Awesome! I spent the past year studying Romanticism. (Coleridge, Wordsworth etc).</p>
<p>^I’ve found my soulmate. Happy days are here again ♫ :)</p>
<p>But I don’t exactly study Romanticism. It’s more like indulging in it (or, in my sad case, obsessing over it).</p>
<p>Hi-five! :D</p>
<p>I can understand the obsession, the Romantics were a pretty amazing bunch. What was really cool was that I was also doing a university course in Philosophy last year- and SO MUCH of the stuff on Aesthetics related directly to Romanticism. </p>
<p>Anyway, if you’re really into Romanticism, I’d suggest reading the Prelude (Wordsworth) or even some of the critical theory (Coleridge’s Biographia Literaria). But definitely read Lyrical Ballads. That pretty much inaugurated the whole movement.</p>
<p>My personal favourite, is Milton’s Paradise Lost. The language is absolutely amazing. It’s Old Testament powerful.</p>
<p>ETA: OMG. We’ve taken the convo sooooo offtopic. Sorry mods.</p>
<p>So… how many of you will frequent this site as much as now after April 1st?</p>
<p>^^^I’m the only person I know who’s read Milton’s Paradise Lost. It’s a joy to find a kindred soul. But Coleridge = >___>. I dunno. I’ll try him out again. And my Art History course really showed the effects of Romanticism on art (though it’s not as cool as a university course). Lovely stuff, really. ;)</p>
<p>I’ll stop living on this thread for 12+ hours a day after April 1. Or maybe I’ll just sob over the keyboard while being a shadow stalker on this thread.</p>
<p>Thanks for noticing that even before me, Handala.</p>
<p>how many people accepted at MIT and waiting on Harvard?</p>
<p>haha, oh, and to compare schools. first person to ever apply to MIT or Caltech… no one in the administration even knows what Caltech is, actually. Our graduation rate is like 70%?</p>
<p>I was accepted at MIT/Caltech… I’ll go to MIT most likely</p>
<p>IF CHANCE WILL HAVE ME AT HARVARD, WHY CHANCE MAY SEND ME A RED FOLDER
WITHOUT MY STIR</p>
<p>just thought I’d throw some b.shakes into this.</p>
