How would Harvard view this?

<p>Your mom thinks you’re special. That’s nice.</p>

Was that really called for? I believe almost every mom thinks their children are special. What’s so wrong about my mom thinking I have a shot at Harvard?</p>

<p>Samonuh, I would probably ignore the other posters on this thread who are trying to discourage you and apply if you really want to. Yes, your chances are slim, but so are most of the others applying to Harvard. It’s a crapshoot for even the ones with perfect SAT scores. I guarantee if I had posted my stats about applying to UPenn, these people would be telling me the same thing (I was accepted Class 2016 btw). Good luck in what you decide to choose.</p>
