How to get into Harvard

<p>I am a sophomore in the IB program w/ a 4.426 unweighted gpa and 3.963 weighted gpa. This semester, I really wanted to play lacrosse and I am going to start, but this will bring down some of my grades. Some of my other clubs are MAO and Key Club. I hope to get an officer position in Key Club, and continue MAO, but I am not sure of my success in it. I am wondering if there is anything else that I can do because I really want to get into Harvard. I will also begin volunteering at my local hospital, and going to Tennessee some breaks to volunteer at a hospital because my uncle lives there. Thank you.</p>

<p>They accept 4 kinds of people
1. The extremely smart
2. The extremely talented in some area( music, athletics)
3. The extremely hardworking
4. The extremely rich and powerful who buy there way in(there are some)</p>

<p>If you fall into one of these categories you have about a 1/100 chance at it. good luck.</p>

<p>It'd actually be 1/10.</p>

<p>Which still isn't that good...</p>

<p>5.The extremely unusual.</p>

<p>I'm sure if you were a complete standout among a pool of thousands of applicants, you would also stand a chance.</p>

<p>7.)The extremely well-rounded
8.)THe extremely perfect</p>

<p>9) The so mind-blowingly, unbelievably awesome people that you look like the cutter that cuts the cookie.</p>

<p>Bad joke, sorry.</p>

<p>^hahhahah</p>

<ol>
<li>The one who cures AIDS.</li>
<li>The one who cures cancer.</li>
<li>The one who has photographic memory aka. genius</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>The one with the greatest lung capacity.</li>
</ol>

<p>Yeah, I did stoop to making a fellatio joke.</p>

<p>To be serious though, no one but the admissions committee can decide what gets you into Harvard.</p>

<p>I would say, work hard, work intelligently, and make sure your application is in before deadline.</p>

<p>Wow, I left out a word on my last post... DEFINITELY Harvard material right there.</p>
