<p>Is it true that Harvard likes to see grade trends?..I heard that and read it in a few books, but im not sure.
I didnt have all A’s my freshman and first semester sophomore year, I had B’s too…,but If I get all A’s every semester after that do you think they would like that I worked up for it???-Please Reply, I really need to know.</p>
<p>Hello !
I am a high school student from Greece.
I want to get a scholarship in Harvard Medical School .
How can I ?
Please help me !</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>It’s very difficult to get a scholarship in Harvard. They offer Financial Aid for low income families.</p>
<p>Just go and check their website: [Harvard</a> Home](<a href=“http://www.harvard.edu%5DHarvard”>http://www.harvard.edu) :)</p>
<p>American Medical schools accept students who have graduated from college with a Bachelors degree. You need to understand that as a high school student, you are ineligible to apply to US medical schools.</p>
<p>@T26E4</p>
<p>You are correct…I didn’t refer it to my previous post because I wasn’t so sure… :)</p>
<p>I mean <em>you are right</em></p>
<p>(Sorry for the double post, but I couldn’t edit my previous one)</p>
<p>■■■■■-ish comment. im in 9th grade. too early to start thinking about college, or should I start doing things (clubs, etc)? I like them, but I can’t find the motivation to go.</p>
<p>Not everyone is internally motivated to to extraordinary things. Neither does Harvard admit everyone who applies.</p>
<p>I other words, it will take some great achievements to even make applying to harvard worth it, and then you are still unlikely to be accepted. So, if you lack the motivation then just enjoy what you are do (even if it is not much…). Pushing yourself to do things for ‘college’ that early in high school is a recipe for:
- a poor high school life
- no great acceptances</p>
<p>Just chill for a year or two then see what grades etc are like</p>
<p>Hello, I am a Harvard University alumnus. There are 5 main groups of people who get into Harvard: 1) Very smart ones with high test scores and GPAs 2) those sponsored by large entities such as U.S. Air Force, United Nations, etc. 3) wealthy people (i.e. my dad donated $30 million to establish a new lab or facility at Harvard) 4) minority quota: ethnic minorities underrepresented in elite academia who are able to get in with lower GPAs and test scores, and 5) political connections (i.e. my dad is President of Mexico, my mother graduated at Harvard, etc.). </p>
<p>My experience at Harvard: Liberal democratic institute that preaches evolution and is anti-Catholic as evidenced by the fact that the university was promoting the da vinci code book/story during my time as a student there (Do you think they would promote an anti-Islamic book even if it were fiction?). Do not let the interviewers know things such as: you support our military, you are Catholic, have strong Christian beliefs, are Republican, etc. otherwise they will likely NOT accept you to Harvard even if you have outstanding grades and test scores. </p>
<p>Harvard definitely promotes a liberal Democratic agenda which is not to say there are no Republicans, future military officers, or Christians amongst the students there; however, such are few and far between. </p>
<p>If you are liberal, then flaunt it at the interviews and you will likely be looked upon favorable. If you are conservative or Christian, hide those facts and if Harvard accepts you, then you can influence the University to open their minds and accept non-liberals, non-Democrats. You can change their attitude from the inside out.</p>
<p>I met several foreign students who believed strongly in their faith, who were anti-abortion, etc. These students were challenged by the pro-liberal faculty. Harvard University even chose the student graduate speaker one year who was the son of farmer. In his speech (which I had to listen to during my graduation unfortunately) he stated something to the effect that he arrived at the school as a conservative and then somehow was miraculously transformed by the professors at Harvard to open his mind. In the end he sold-out and became a liberal Democrat from Harvard. I found the speech pathetic. Most disturbing is the fact that this student’s speech was selected by a committee who no doubt harbored the liberal agenda interests of Harvard foremost within their hearts.</p>
<p>I find it sobering that some Harvard students and professors believe in evolution when they have not proven the theory. This is hypocrisy at its academic finest.</p>
<p>I have the Harvard name and it serves me well; however, I am paid well and have a great job because I had a solid foundation coming into Harvard to begin with - a foundation set by strict parenting, a rigorous Catholic grade school and high school education, and a conservative value system. I knew of Harvard graduates who could not get jobs because they had insignificant Harvard liberal arts diplomas. Do not fool yourself: the Harvard name will not get you a job with Intel or yahoo.com unless you have a solid hard-science degree. There are many Harvard graduates who perform mediocre jobs - and there are astronauts, physicians, airline pilots, engineers, and attorneys who are NOT from Harvard - some getting paid millions of dollars a year. </p>
<p>Harvard will help you, but it will not make you. YOU make yourself. I would rather be a noble well-compensated physician from a state university rather than an unemployed Harvard graduate. Oftentimes, the wealthiest and brightest achieved their success WITHOUT the need for an Ivy league name. Many Ivy league graduates are merely employees of large corporations - they do not own or run their own companies. Fred Smith of FedEx did not need any Ivy League school to succeed. I definitely recommend college and graduate school to help one succeed, but they are not essential. The “cream” will rise to the top whether or not they go to an Ivy league school.</p>
<p>wholoveswhom said
You make it sound as if the opposite has been proven? wow. just wow.</p>
<p>To: harvardlovesgod</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>From: piedpilko</p>
<p>I have my faith in God and I am not asking or printing in a manuscript that God has been “proven”. That is the difference between faith and theoretical proof; however, the hipocrisy is that regardless of my faith (or regardless of your lack of faith), Harvard University professors will lecture or cite in academic publication manuscripts how evolution is fact when they have no conclusive scientific evidence. </p>
<p>Find me one Harvard professor that can prove the theory of evolution in a manner that is academically robust and sound. You cannot.</p>
<p>In summary, Harvard has no obligation to teach faith and God, but they do have an obligation as an academic institution to stay clear of politics, and to only teach proven scientific theory; otherwise, they need to state that though they believe in evolution this belief has clearly NEVER been proven scientifically to the robust standards mandated by the scientific community. Mind you that even scientific theory occasionally requires revision when we realize we made mistakes in the proof of the theory. So science is not infallible.</p>
<p>To believe that thoughts of love for someone, happiness at the sight of a newborn child, the complexities of prions, quarks, DNA, electromagnetic energy, the aroma of coffee, the political conflict resulting in major wars, the billions of stars in the universe, the “goodness” of a person who helps someone down on his luck, the love a husband feels for his wife - to believe these were due to a single explosion that came from nothing or from matter ??? Believing in evolution is an act of FAITH by academic scientists. So in fact, Harvard professors do have a sort of faith - as I stated - hipocrisy at its finest.</p>
<p>To your comment, I say WOW, and I pray for your soul.</p>
<p>I shared this on my facebook~ I hope you do not mind this. Really brilliant ideas.</p>
<p>^^ You are an idiot. And a ■■■■■. Unless Harvard does not teach its students how to spell.</p>
<p>“Hypocrite”</p>
<p>And bunny, they are not brilliant ideas. They are;</p>
<p>a) The provocative ravings of a ■■■■■ (I hope it is this one because the next option is…)
b) The ravings of a lunatic</p>
<p>Read through the post carefully, not getting caught up in the propaganda value and you will see that there is no IDEA anywhere. It is just provocative examples.</p>
<p>Evolution is a “theory” in the scientific sense of the term “theory”; it is an established scientific model that explains observations and makes predictions through mechanisms such as natural selection.</p>
<p>Just as it is the “THEORY of relativity”</p>
<p>You want to attack that?</p>
<p>I am going to do some record-setting-straight. The ■■■■■ does raise some common misconceptions about Harvard.</p>
<p>There is no way that he went to Harvard, at least within the past millennium. I’m not religious myself, but people are generally accepting of all sorts of religions, including Christianity. I’m also in the Harvard Republicans. (Which has as large a membership as the Harvard Dems, incidentally.) People in general still respect me when I say that. My roommate, who has a poster of Obama on the wall, and two (two? really??) Obama bobbleheads, respects me and my political views! I do think Harvard used to be quite bad…in that my father, fresh out of Harvard, told my mother that he couldn’t be her friend any more when he learned that she had voted for Reagan. Nor was Dad joking. (This was before they started dating.)</p>
<p>Things are much better now. Yeah, maybe I lose one or two cool points when I say I’m Republican. But with some people, mostly the open-minded ones who have nevertheless lived in communities where there is no diversity of political opinion (mostly international kids, but a few from New England, too), I sometimes even gain cool points! This South African kid and I got in an hours-long discussion of politics at a party. (There was alcohol and dancing, too, but never let anyone tell you that Harvard has no place for the intellectual/geek!) He had never heard anyone with my point of view before, so he thought I was as fascinating as I find the kid from Singapore who doesn’t believe in human rights.</p>
<p>There are conservative professors, just not very many conservative nuts, like the ■■■■■. Most don’t propagandize for their political views, whatever they are. (And you can pretty easily avoid the ones who do. It’s almost always obvious from the course description.) For instance, I took a class with a very ragingly liberal professor this fall. You could tell, but it really didn’t impede on the value of the course. Of my other three professors, one was a public intellectual, so we knew that he was conservative. The way he led the course was impressively unbiased, though. For the other two, I honestly still have no idea what their politics are.</p>
<p>Wow… very interested thread. I didn’t read all 30 pages but I kinda have the whole idea of how to get into harvard. If anyone’s interested (of course you are), I found another blog on how to get into ivy leagues. It’s pretty good. Check it out –> [Ivy</a> League Admissions Get Into Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Yale, MIT, and more!](<a href=“ivyleagueadmissions.org”>http://www.ivyleagueadmissions.org/)</p>

<p>I’m a high school freshman right now and I’m really hoping for a Harvard experience.
I’m not too worried about grades. I got straight A+ last semester:), all honor classes.
But I’ve given a lot of thought to my ecs.
I’ve played the piano for 11 years, I love it, but I’m not very accomplished in terms of music.
I also swim and participate in several clubs.
I hope to major in economics and then go to law school, I truly have interest in both.
I don’t really know what I want to ask, this post is soooo stupid as I look back on it. But it sounds the way i feel—lost.Could you just give me some general advice considering my experiences and aspirations?</p>
<p>ps. Any chance you went to Lowell high school in San Francisco?</p>
<p>hello everyone, I am a senior in high school, and have been looking at Harvards site. I am not going to be valedictorian or salutatorian, i have a 3.5 GPA and have made a’s and b’s all throughout all of my school years. I have been taking college courses since tenth grade at Texas State Technical College, and Panola College. I have recently realized that I have wanted to go to harvard to be a doctor, since I was a kid. Now reading all of this, I never realized how hard it could be to get in, I made an 18 on my ACT, (not so good) and have not taken the SAT, when people say you can do anything you put your mind to, their lying. I do not have a learning disabilty or ADHD, but I cant wrap my mind around so much learning even though I would like to. I still have my dream for Harvard, and if it is as easy as the Harvard student says it is then maybe i’ll have a chance; if I retake my ACT and take my SAT, then just maybe I’ll be the NORMAL GIRL that gets into Harvard!!!</p>
