<p>What is the most important factor that determines getting into Harvard?
EC? scores? awards?</p>
<p>I would say that grades and SAT’s put you in the ballpark (as a pre-requisite to be considered), and then after that awards, EC’s, and all else are used to make you stand out of the crowd.</p>
<p>Your BMI and shoe size.</p>
<p>yes, there is that element of randomness…</p>
