<p>hi, i am a freshman in high school what can i do to help me get into harvard besides ggod grades and test scores??</p>
<p>Why are you so interested in Harvard? In other words, what do you like about it based on what you know about it?</p>
<p>why are people freaking out about harvard in their freshman year of highschool? CHILL OUT PEOPLE!</p>
<p>if you really want to get into Harvard, visit the admissions office often with cookies and tasty foods</p>

<p>Easy for you to say now that you're in.</p>
<p>I kid, I kid. How's Harvard going for you?</p>
<p>Have your mother drag you into the admission office, and force you to speak with the Deen.
[I heard someone did that before, and got in!]</p>
<p>But anyway, might want to pay more attention in Language Arts. And if your Asian, you best get workin' on your EC's.</p>
<p>Be yourself. Sincerely :) I am not in Harvard, I'll only apply next year, but I think it is important for you to do what you like. Don't build yourself any fake interest or quality. High school is the place where you learn a bit about who you are everyday, so don't loose yourself in any pattern.</p>
<p>Think about it: if, because of some unfortunate events, you were waitlisted or rejected, you would have ended up building a fake personality during 4 years for nothing. </p>
<p>Just pursue your interests, be ambitious and never let someone stand in your way. You'll get the best out of it :)</p>

<p>Good advice, and by the way the advice I have heard from Harvard admission officers at public meetings. Good luck in your application next year.</p>
<p>chill bro, i asked the same question yesterday.

<p>Freshman in high school? Do some research first. Harvard is not the cure-all that everyone seemingly expects it to be. There a lot of other great schools that offer the same sort of liberal arts education that Harvard, Princeton, and Yale offer.</p>
<p>Ever heard of the University of Chicago? The education there, I hear, is extremely rigorous. Plus, they have some of the best math departments in the country. Prestigious, but very underrated. Consider it.</p>
<p>Why exactly do you want to go to Harvard besides prestige?</p>
<p>I think many people apply to Harvard on the basis of its prestige alone. (I was one of those people, and I was soundly rejected.)</p>
