<p>I absolutely agree with the statements written above. Of course anyone interested in politics has to be open minded, it's just part of the process. Speaking of liberal colleges, I'm sick of being the majority where I come from. I really want to get out and test the fires for my Conservative views. In my application I have made sure I don't come accross as close minded (especially in my essay, which talks about being a minority in a diverse body...much like Harvard). </p>
<p>But objectively speaking, what are my chances in getting into this great university? Above average, below average? I know it's hard to say since "Harvard lottery tickets" exist all over the country with so many talented people, but can anyone nudge me in a probable outcome?</p>
