<p>yeah honestly, I think the whole “expect the worst hope for the best” mentality is good when applying to any of the top tier schools XP</p>
<p>can it just be spring already? i just wanna know lol</p>
<p>I know! Same here!</p>
<p>So, is Harvard your top choice?</p>
<p>EDIT: ‘your’ as in any of you</p>
<p>@ darkblademaster: Me?</p>
<p>Any of you.</p>
<p>It is one of my top choices, definitely…however, I am scared about the financial aspect of it all -_-…</p>
<p>also one of my top choices. how do you turn down harvard?</p>
<p>I agree with you fishface but there are people that do turn it down. I think getting accepted to an Ivy is a blessing in itself…but Harvard? Really?! Well, we will see in April though :-).</p>
<p>Officially Harvard would be my top choice, but because I have a .08% chance of getting in, I am not raising my hopes. My more realistic top choices (yet still somewhat reaches because all Ivies/top 15 schools are a crapshoot) are UPenn and Georgetown.</p>
<p>Awww jokesbg779, I bet your stats are A-MA-ZING! Everyone has a shot. I don’t think your chances are THAT low!</p>
<p>Haha, if youre worried about the financial situation, you have come to the right place. Harvard is the most affordable college in the country thanks to their insane FA</p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement, Xargon42 :-). The waiting game is not making me a happy camper right now lol.</p>
<p>Xargon42! It’s nice to see your face (username) again from Stanford.</p>
<p>Harvard probably is one of my top choices, though I can’t say it’s the top. I would really have to evaluate the difference between Harvard/MIT/Yale/Duke.</p>
<p>I have not allowed myself to get my heart set on any of the schools I’m applying to, seeing as how half of them are Ivy league. It’s all a crapshoot, and I realize that, so hopefully I won’t be too devastated when I don’t get in, haha.</p>
<p>That said, who turns down Harvard?</p>
<p>20% of applicants turn down Harvard each year. That was an answer to your rhetorical question :)</p>
<p>But true, where do you guys think the people who rejected Harvard went?</p>
<p>YSP most likely.</p>
<p>I really am kind of counting on getting rejected by at least several of the schools I’m applying do. I am such a bad decision maker, I can’t even decide what I want for dinner tonight. I don’t know how I would ever choose between Harvard, Yale, Brown, etc, haha!</p>
<p>20% is such a huge percentage though. I mean, I know it’s not in the realm of college, but 1/5 people accepted to Harvard would rather go somewhere else? Eh, I guess I would have chosen S over H.</p>
<p>Harvard is basically my top choice :).</p>
<p>awww. harvard is my second choice.</p>
<p>several of my friends and i were deferred and rejected from Stanford EA so now, we are going after harvard.</p>
<p>go harvard!</p>
<p>damn, i see alot of familiar names here.</p>
