<p>I am probably not the most competitive applicant but I will apply and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Ladies and Gentlemen,
Boys and Girls,</p>
<p>This is Lebron coming straight outta freshville bz-town.</p>
<p>Does anyone here like BIG PUN???
i produce rap music</p>
<p>Yeah, I compose classical music (most similar to romantic era) but rarely notate it. </p>
<p>maybe turtle, we gotta fresh out the beats sometimes.
my dream is to be like Dr.Dre.</p>
<p>do you know big pun? add his rap to piano… = better than Mozart or 2Pac combined…</p>
<p>i produce rap music, so hit me up!</p>
<p>Anecdotal evidence that shouldn’t be taken too seriously - only six people I know out of the 25 I know who got in are choosing to go to Harvard. :)</p>
<p>^ I will be choosing Harvard only if I am accepted and YPS all reject me 
</p>
<p>Another Harvard 2015er here although unlike most applicants it’s definitely not my top choice.</p>
<p>I think the right attitude to take is optimistic yet realistic. Harvard accepted 6.9% of applicants this year, and that figure may even go down a little next year. There are a myriad of qualified individuals, and so much of it is subjective/luck of the draw. WHile there may not be a strong chance that you get in, I think that everyone who does apply should be ready to deal with wither case and just hope for the best. There’s notihing else you can do, really.</p>
<p>But there is quite a lot we 2015ers can do from here until January 1st when we submit applications, so it’s not time for blind hope just yet lol.</p>
<p>Greetings and salutations, fellow Hahvahd Class o’ '15 hopefuls!</p>
<p>Weird way to greet someone, right? Right. </p>
<p>Well, I’ll be the first to admit that I’m no language buff. Besides English, Spanish, and Chinese, I’m pretty much useless (linguistics-wise). However, I think most people who have their hearts and minds set on Harvard are most certainly distinguishable in some aspect or another. For example, lebronjames (aka THE KING - yes, I’m a native Clevelander) has his rap-music production and turtle has his piano improvisation. Talented musicians, I salute you.</p>
<p>Me? I play ice hockey, skateboard and drum in a rock band. Gnarly. </p>
<p>So, here’s to everyone in this forum - everyone who is [over]qualified academically, la cr</p>
<p>Great post, Bildungsroman! Unfortunately, I don’t have much qualification and uniqueness other than my passion in humanities and arts
Oh well…</p>
<p>I’m not really distinguishable in any aspect. Just have high objective academic stats + a well rounded application.</p>
<p>Harvard (obviously), MIT, Princeton, Duke, and UNC - Chappel Hill (safety). Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>I’m on the fence about applying. I love Boston, but I think I need to visit the actual campus to know for sure. And if I get my SATs higher, I might. Hah Go hahhvahhd!</p>
<p>Oh, I guess I’ll mention that I’m a one of a kind urm. Haha! I can speak spanish, french, and some arabic.</p>
<p>Dude, Cambridge is beautiful. I visited over spring break, and was super impressed with Harvard. Give it a visit.</p>
<p>Dude! And there’s the BEST burger place right across from campus! </p>
<p>And if THAT’S not enough of an impetus, then you either must be a vegetarian or neurotic!
Jokes. I’m sure no one’s neurotic here (well, actually, I don’t think anyone can really be sure of something such as that…).</p>
<p>Yeah, I hear the Boston/Cambridge area is awesome. Guess I’ll have to visit it myself in order to find out! :)</p>
<p>I’ll be applying but I don’t have high hopes. We’ll just have to see. I’ll have a zero chance of getting in if I don’t apply so I might as well. ;)</p>
<p>@ Gupi: Haha, I’m willing to bet that that’s the case with almost every other applicant. We’re all in the same boat, so don’t worry!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Well, I attended a local Harvard extravaganza this afternoon and there was actually one individual who received admittance with a 29 on the ACT and SAT Subject Tests scores of 550, 600, and 610.</p>
<p>Ι will apply too!!!I am so excited and thrilled.Harvard is one of my top choices.I wish to get in!:D</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you!!!I wish you the best!!:D</p>
<p>
You forgot to mention that his last name is Harvard and he stands to inherit $100M USD on his 18th birthday :)</p>
