<p>How much does Harvard know about individual areas, schools, summer programs, local awards, etc?</p>
<p>I am asking because the summer school that I scheduled to take classes with unsuspectingly has a "everybody gets an A" Spanish 3 class. It is also a hefty ~$700 per course, even though I got in based on a scholarship. Will Harvard see this and look down upon it? Can I do anything to get out of this sticky situation (eg. take Spanish 4 at CC to prove my ability)?</p>
<p>Haven't a clue.</p>
<p>sinbad--I think you need to relax. Deep breath.</p>
<p>Depends on where you go to school. The adcom and several of the admission staff knew my counselor personally-but then again, my school sends many, many kids to Harvard each year. How many students per year apply to/matriculate at Harvard from your school?</p>
<p>We send maybe around 10 kids a year to ivies out of ~350. It's actually a very competitive public school ranked #2 in California.</p>
<p>Well, now that you've told them, how can they not know? ;)</p>
<p>what do you mean audiophile?</p>
<p>just kidding</p>
<p>sinbad - im quite sure that you posted before that you were accepted to HYPS and that you were choosing among them. Why are you talking about this now??</p>
<p>maybe he doesn't always tell the truth on these forums? he seems to only be a junior/rising senior judging by his past posts.</p>
