And @RoadtotheIvies98, I can read your essay if you want any more readers.
Do we HAVE to answer the question that asks where you’ve lived throughout your life? It reads as “Please list the cities, states and countries where you have lived, with years of residence”. Is it okay to just leave it blank?
Actually, Harvard DOES superscore the SAT, but they DO NOT superscore the ACT. A student last year called Admissions and was given that information by an Admissions Officer. Harvard’s website has confusing language and I wish they’d just come right out and say it. It’s also noted on page 16 of the College Board’s guide for guidance counselors. See:

Guys! When do the results come out, and when do people get likely letters?
^I’m curious about likely letters for the ivies too
Tomorrow!!!
How are you formatting your supplementary essay? Should I include the prompt? Times New Roman, 12 ft, double spaced? Name on it or no?
I asked the same question a few days ago and yes, I’d include the prompt.

I would disagree with @eugeinc and not include the prompt, since the prompt basically says that you can write about anything. Good luck everyone! I hope we all get good news in March 
The prompt also takes up a lot of space, and you are supposed to keep your essay to one page (at least that is what I have heard)
Hi Guys! I applied here RD today also! I know this is a random comment, but since I was looking through the acceptances/ deferrals/ waitlisted sections and I just wanted to add something. Someone commented who had pretty much perfect stats commented how they did not know why they were deferred/ waitlisted and at first even i was confused until I scrolled and realized they applied to pretty much majority of the schools top notch. Someone who works in admissions visited my class recently and gave insight that sometimes universities will reject or put off people simply because of how many schools they apply too. I’m not saying don’t apply to more than one ivy league, just consider which schools you think you really fit in and you think is a good fit for you. Not all of them are the same. Just words of advice. To them, it makes them think you just want to get accepted to one and don’t really care for the type of environment it fosters, etc. Basically, they don’t feel unique. 
The issue with them rejecting or waitlisting solely based on the number of schools kids apply to is that it is very hard for someone to say with 100% certainty that they will be accepted to schools of that caliber. It makes a lot of sense to apply to several top tier schools instead of just one.
Especially when the colleges “holistically” view applicants. You can never chance yourself. You might have"all that they are looking for" and never get in, because … i dont know… maybe the school has a lot of football superstars already and they need violinists. So yea, it does make sense that you apply to more than one school…
Good luck everyone!
Good luck to you too! 
Well last night I applied to 5 colleges, including this one and 3 other ivys. It might all go to waste, but at least I tried.
Applied to 6 colleges. 5 ivies. Likely to get rejected from all, but YOLO. Good luck, you guys.
Hopefully you’ve all submitted your applications! I don’t think Harvard can see which other schools you applied to. I never really got the whole “good students are not accepted because the school needs a tuba player this year” cuz I’ve never heard about any of the ivies’ “renowned orchestras”? I think after you pass the academic qualifications, admissions mostly depends on luck and factors you can’t control (location, demographic, etc.). Anyways, stop stressing. You’re all done! Hope we hear the good news in March!
Good luck everyone!
@BlackHuntress How should Harvard know where else you applied? I mean Harvard only receives their specific commonapp. Technically you’re right, applying to a bunch of school just for the sake of it doesn’t make sense, especially if the quality of your essays starts lacking; however, if you are able to keep up the quality of your essays I don’t see a problem in maximizing your odds.
I heard somewhere that the FAFSA shows where else you applied, but they are getting rid of that for next year
