<p>^ Hey, I didn’t manage to pull it off.</p>
<p>SO you wished you had been rejected by harvard??^</p>
<p>^ Um no, he didn’t say that… All he’s saying is that being rejected by Harvard is still somewhat of a feat, one that he can not claim.</p>
<p>^Yeah, I didn’t manage to be rejected by Harvard either. Yale is on that list, though.</p>
<p>But what kind of feat is that?! Being rejected by one of the world’s best universities doesn’t seem like something that I would want framed…</p>
<p>Most people lack the stats to even consider applying to a place like Harvard. Consequently, most people would have a lot of respect for someone who was rejected by Harvard.</p>
<p>exactly, MOST people… the point is that not everyone that is rejected has the top stats, and yes there is respect, but the fact of the matter is that you were rejected. Why would you waste seventy five dollars to apply to a school just so could say " Yeah I applied to Harvard, but didnt get in"?..</p>
<p>Well, if you aren’t in the 10-20% who are the U Pacific crowd, then applying to Harvard means you have exceptional numbers. Being rejected implies you applied which implies you probably were pretty bright. </p>
<p>And I actually think pretty much everyone applies just for the off chance they could get in – that’s why I applied.</p>
<p>I have to say I don’t see anything particularly special about being rejected by Harvard. Having stats that put you in the range for Harvard IS impressive, but whether you don’t apply at all or apply and just barely get rejected doesn’t really matter.
When I applied, I thought I had a serious chance of getting in but still tried to convince myself that I would be rejected. And I seriously doubt that I would have told anyone I didn’t have to that I had been rejected.</p>

<p>Exactly Banjo, why would you want to brag or tell other people about a rejection. Even if it was to one of the nation’s most competitive schools.</p>
