<p>Hello, all,</p>

<p>I hope as much as any of you to hear an affirmative from in :O 12 days!!!! But just in case we ever meet in this small, small world: who touched John Harvard's foot for good luck and how much luckier do you feel?
(You will need to wash your hands before we shake hands ((cite: the three Harvard traditions)) ).</p>

<p>Best of luck to all. :)</p>

<p>The only time I touched his foot in the month I was at SSP was after a very long, very heavy rainshower. I hope it brought me some luck though!</p>

<p>(for people who don’t know, it’s tradition to pee on the foot at night)</p>

3

<p>I talked to some Harvard students and they told me about that statue!!!</p>

<p>The guy I met (James) said that he visited and all his friends that kissed the foot got admitted! I did the same… any bit of luck helps!</p>

4

<p>I touched the foot.</p>

<p>(And I touched Yale’s knock-off foot, and I got in there, so this luck legend may have something to it…)</p>

5

<p>I fondled Dean Fitzsimmon’s feet.</p>

6

<p>yale’s knock off foot? get over yourselves. The “John Harvard” statue isn’t even based off John Harvard… so who’s the knock off?</p>

7

<p>i didn’t touch the foot. if you think about it… why doesn’t everyone get in if touching the foot really helps?</p>

8

<p>actually it’s estimated that only about 1200 of this year’s applicants have touched the foot…</p>

9

<p>! No one jumped on my statement about me kissing the foot :(</p>

10

<p>HEY Mal77 YOU KNOW EVERYONE AT HARVARD PISSES ON THE FOOT RIGHT?</p>

11

<p>At UPenn, there’s a superstitious thing too - like not walking on a certain part of the seal in front of the admissions office. Hope these little, quirky things really do bring luck </p>

<p>to Noitaraperp: what a coincidence… Harvard’s class sizes are around 1200… hmm… haha</p>

12

<p>The student leading my campus tour said that it was actually kinda bad luck to touch the foot, since it’s not actually John Harvard, and even if it was, John Harvard didn’t really found the school.</p>

13

<p>^ Very true…</p>

14

<p>…yeah, if rubbing a ****-stained metal foot is what it takes to get into Harvard, it’s not worth it.</p>

15

<p>i uh…didn’t visit harvard. :/</p>
