<p>Hello. I am a sophomore and really want to go to HARVARD!!
As every one of you are, Harvard has been my dream since I was a baby.
Heres the thing. I was an international student and studied in Canada for 2 years(grade 8, 9) Now I am a permanent resident of USA and recently visited HARVARD. MY dream got bigger now..anyways..
I am seriously thinking aboug taking one more year of high school because I want to have good extra curriculars and blah blah blah. I did nothing in my freshman year. I wasn't even RED CROSS. you know.. red cross. the thing that everyone does.. anyways.. what do you guys think?
Do you guys think it would be wise for me to take one more year of high school? Do you think it would bring many advatages to my admission process?
The pros that I think are that I can take many ap classes and other high-respected classes if I take one more year of high school. And when I first came to US, I couldn't really get the education system here. so basically I chose all the stupid classes(no honors, no APs).
and the cons are that I might look very stupid.
I need a quick feedback because I have to choose my next year course tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!!
please help me out here! I was gonna send the e-mail to Harvard admission people, but it said on the website that they get too many e-mails so that it takes a lot of time to reply every one of those.. And I dont have time!!</p>

<p>GUYS AND GALS help me!! Help you future colleague!!</p>

<p>I took an extra year of high school--I had some minor medical problems that I wanted to have under control before I went away. I found it was immensely useful, and I'd recommend it to anyone. Really, there's no rush, and if for some reason you don't feel like you are academically, socially, developmentally, or anything-else-ally ready to apply and go off to university, then by all means slow things down a bit. They didn't look at it amiss on my application, because I got a large package Thursday morning.</p>

<p>Does your school allow you to voluntarily take another year of high school? Try talking with your guidance counselor or advisor. If you're only in your sophomore year, you still have a lot of time to think about it.</p>

<p>Thanx for all your replies, but what would Harvard think about this? Do you think they would say I made a wise choice? I mean I really want to take long time at high school as I can,but what if that affects my harvard application in a bad way?</p>
