<p>Exceptional teacher recs describing me as one of the best in both of their careers (THE best for my English teacher)</p>

<p>My essays are fairly good(not a good sign). I'll PM you if you want to read my common app essay and/or Harvard optional essay.</p>

<p>mostly likely in (Harvard accepts 3/4 perfect SAT scorers)....the odds are in your favor.</p>

<p>You're in. I'd like to read your essay though.</p>

<p>Solid and impressive. I don't see how you would not be accepted.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, where does #1 want to go to school?</p>

<p>Glasnost In England or Edinborough (misspelled both) in Scotland, Cambridge (in England of course), or perhaps Brown, MIT, Caltech or maybe even Harvard (although he said he will decline admissions to Harvard just for the fun of it [yes, he is fairly (insanely) arrogant (and has asperger's syndrome at that)]). He will not apply to any in-state schools, but has applied to the University of Miami in Florida. He's been accepted into Glasnost already and wishes to study virology. </p>

<p>There are actually 6 people total including me tied for second (he was but did some things in the shadows about a year ago that we didn't know about that have finally surfaced now on his transcript...{aka several online classes}) Most are going to OSU of those 6, maybe even me.</p>

<p>btw #1 got a 2390 on his SAT 780 on US History, 720 in Bio-M (780 in Bio-E which he hates), and 730ish in Math 2. But he also got an 800 in literature (he hates humanities but reads much more than me (i don't really read)) and a 790 on chemistry.</p>

<p>it's going to be funny with us an the Harvard app. Whosever gets read first will fair better if we get compared since our teacher recs are somewhat similar (same teachers used) although I would say his may help him more than I (I don't know what being called a "prodigal god of academia" will do to my app...) but he is the next "Watson, Fleming, Bohr, or Marconi" lol</p>

<p>Very substantial i'd say. I'm interested in reading your essay. May I?</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance. I would like to volunteer to read your essay. I'm a current Harvard student.</p>
