<p>Not going to happen. CC gets a decent number of its kids into HYPSM every year.</p>

42

<p>I'm not going to get into Harvard. And I'm going to cry. And throw a hissy fit. And eat a gallon of ice cream. And be sick. And do horribly at my UIL competiton. And die. And wake up and eat some more ice cream. And die again. And then go to Yale.</p>

<p>Fin.</p>

43

<p>lol that s not a bad alternative!</p>

44

<p>eh, the day no one from cc gets into Harvard is the same day that "what are my chances" threads will cease to exist.</p>

45

<p>reading these posts, I actually SORTA wish I tried harder in high school.</p>

<p>okay, back to reality :)</p>

46

<p>Hey, at least I can say I took a shot.</p>

47

<p>Divanny, I actually cracked up after reading your post. "And then go to Yale?" My God, what a sob story. Yale would be terrible! (At least CC is doing a good job getting a few laughs out of me.)</p>

48

<p>same here!</p>

49

<p>Lol, I thought y'all would like that one. I sent an e-mail to my Harvard interviewer about my Yale likely and he said something along the lines of "Congratulations! Yale is a great safety school!" I couldn't stop laughing for a week...</p>

50

<p>Why did you tell your Harvard interviewer? I hope you said something to your Yale interviewer :p...</p>

51

<p>My Yale interviewer was stupid...I couldn't stand her. She was so rude and ugh...My Harvard interviewer rocked. We had the longest interview - they had to kick us out of Starbucks. And we e-mail each other all the time.</p>

52

<p>wow that sounds like a great interview..how long was it?</p>

53

<p>Around 5 hours. He cancelled another meeting he was supposed to go to, actually picked up the phone and cancelled it while I was there. He graduated from my high school some years ago and he's a recent Harvard grad. He was simply awesome. We exchanged pick-up lines and talked about elitism.</p>

54

<p>Five hours? How old was this guy? I'd watch out if I were you. It sounds like this guy is sweet on you -- which is great if it gets you admitted, but beyond that it starts to get creepy.</p>

55

<p>Hey... I'd take that if it meant I got admitted. Hell, he could be a creepy old guy for all I care.</p>

56

<p>I just got my National Merit Scholarship Award notification, but I will probably be rejected from Harvard. I know many National Merit Finalist get rejected, but I wonder how many award winners get rejected? There are only about 2500 of us.</p>

57

<p>Mid-20s. He's too cool to be sweet on me.</p>

58

<p>Here is a simplified puzzle. There are 20,000 applicants applying to 5 top schools. Each school will offer to 2,000; thus, there will be 10,000 offers for these 20,000 students. The probability of getting in is one out of two.
I wish it was that simple. Well.. top 10% will get offers from all five schools but the bottom 10% wiil receive none.....</p>

<p>Has anyone get into Harvard with 4s in AP, 700s in SAT IIs?</p>

<p>Almost time for rejection......weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee</p>
