<p>well this must be a very familiar question to all but i am asking it again.I want to know how difficult it is to really get into harvard.I mean what are the things that i would need.Apart from a very high sat score what would i need.I mean even if someone has got a perfect sat score doesn't mean that he has got an excellent eca record .So can that all be faked.</p>

<p>Harvard is really the grand daddy of the Ivy Leagues. It’s consistently ranked as the top university in the United States. People with perfect standardized test scores, a plethora of ECs, and more get rejected all the time. This year they had a 6.17% acceptance rate, lowest in the country.
Check out this nifty little chart, so that you can compare to other top schools:

<p>Cornell. And it’s still a very competitive school to get into (18% admit rate this year). And if you’re even thinking of faking all of your application credentials, you’re taking the wrong approach - there is no shame in working your way up from a slightly “lesser” university to go to a better grad school. Certainly less shame in that then lying your way into the Ivy League.</p>

<p>Graduate School is more important than undergraduate school. Dont stress if you get rejected from Harvard undergrad.</p>

<p>It’s more difficult to enter Harvard than to search this site and Harvard’s own admission pages to discover the answers you need.</p>
