Harvard is my dream school but.....

Applying to College
1

<p>Harvard is my dream school but...I dont know whether I should apply there early action (since it is such a risk). The two options that I was considering were:</p>

<ol>
<li>MIT + UVA (Early action)</li>
<li>Harvard</li>
</ol>

<p>I dont want to forgo the early round of admissions by taking too large a risk. Which option do you believe is better for me?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Why do you have such low self esteem?</p>

<p>You have about 8 other chance me threads with all positive feedback, so you know where you stand.</p>

<p>Stop re-posting the same thing and just bragging, it is rather sad.</p>

<p>No one else bump this please.</p>

<p>Also, make sure your stats on your other threads actually match, stupid ■■■■■. ._.
Here is your SAT from your first thread, “SAT I (breakdown): 2340 (740 CR, 800 M, 800 W)”</p>

<p>Go ahead and apply to Harvard early action. You will regret it if you dont. Start working on your essay. I think you have a very high chance of getting into UVA, and most likely MIT as well. GOOD LUCK!!</p>
