<p>Ok so from what people are saying, I should get into Berkeley. However, I think I’ll still apply to the rest and I can make my decisions based on wherever I get in.</p>
<p>One thing: My dad went to Harvard for graduate school. However, I don’t have any relatives that attended Harvard for undergraduate. Clearly it didn’t help me get in Early Action, but does the fact that my dad went to Harvard for graduate school mean anything at all? He doesn’t donate or anything unfortunately. Just want to know if it could be a tip factor or it’s irrelevant (I know if he had gone for undergraduate it would help but I’m not sure if graduate is the same, or not. I looked it up but a lot of people said different things…)</p>
<p>Also if anyone’s wondering I did end up applying to Harvey Mudd, Caltech, and MIT.</p>
<p>Not having a ton of EC’s won’t kill you since your academics seem impeccable.</p>
<p>Hi, I was wondering where you got accepted to physix1… I also suffer from poor E.C’s.</p>
