<p>It may hold you back, but a 2000 SAT I will not be the basis for your rejection.</p>
<p>what does that mean?</p>
<p>what else would be the basis for rejection? :</p>
<p>The basis of rejection is the lack of a reason for acceptance.</p>
<p>..basically.</p>
<p>^ That is deep.</p>
<p>Xbones hit it right on the dot.</p>
<p>how does their minority recruiment program work??
do you just apply regularly and when they see that you're a minority, they put you into the program? Or do you have to apply under the program...i'm confused.</p>
<p>Minority Recruitment Program isn't something you apply to.</p>
<p>It's a program set up to encourage qualified minorities to apply, and is a source of student-provided information.</p>
<p>Oh. So it's really just something that's THERE...</p>
<p>hi there how about the IB DIPLOMA??????? How many points do you approx. need for harvard??? (out of 45)</p>
<p>ummm you don't even get your IB diploma scores until july -- your point total has zero effect on your acceptance or rejection from harvard.</p>
<p>i got my IB scores a week ago and i definitely did not get 45 points, lol. just do your best.</p>
<p>I am going to apply only EA to Harvard.
Is this too risky? I know this, but my wish to be admitted to Harvard is too strong.
I am much worried now, I can't imagine myself being rejected.
I want to apply to some other school, but my heart keeps saying all things about Harvard Harvard and Harvard. How could I do now?</p>
<p>If you want to apply to Harvard, go ahead. But keep in mind that 90% of applicants get rejected. The best thing to do is to apply to a range of schools, in particular schools where the chances of your getting admited are higher than 10%. And remember that the US has many many excellent schools, not just one.</p>
<p>Um, applying only EA to harvard leaves you ZERO options. keep in mind that MANY very qualified applicants are rejected--these applicants are often accepted at places like yale/princeton. so have options!!! it's very much a game for the lucky.</p>

<p>It's not true. The OP can still apply RD to as many colleges as s/he wishes.</p>
<p>In fact, you may want to complete a couple of RD applications to schools that are less competitive first: from reading the posts on these boards, it seems like a majority of students feel that their first application was not their best.</p>
<p>just to clarify: it sounded like the OP was only going to apply to one school total--harvard, early. i didn't comprehend that the OP was planning to apply to harvard, then apply to other schools RD. I know harvard is nonbinding EA.</p>
<p>Um...what's an OP? I'm trying to follow this discussion and it's very interesting, haha...but I'm a bit confused. It sounds like something to do with an operation...;)</p>

DEFINITELY DO THIS. my EA app to yale was really really bad. i almost can't blame them for passing on me.. lol</p>
<p>What I would like to know is that of the # of people accepted at Harvard each year, consistently only about 79% decide to enroll. Where do those wild and crazy 21% choose to attend? Anyone?</p>
