<p>ok. you're basically a science genius, you test well, and you're a varsity athlete. i bet SCEA deferred or accepted. good luck man, the harvard a-type makes me want to shoot myself. what's cool about you though is while you're a bit arrogant you don't seem to have such a stick. that's nice. didn't you want me to analyze your personality? say yes. i won't tell you to get a life- everyone should figure that one out on there own. best of luck. seriously. even if you don't get in, you deserve it.
p.s. i want to know how the hell you got to work in labs in cyprus and russia. why are some people on this board so damn cool/lucky?</p>

<p>for cyprus i gto lucky and had some connections
for russia i applied to the Knowledge Exchange Institute (KEI), its a really great program, google it if your interested in research</p>

<p>You have a good chance at Harvard; I think you could get accepted, but you never know about those admissions people.</p>
