<p>what are really your motivation for Harvard and to get noticed you must argue
because I think it’s too easy ha ha! i’ve 2200 in sat and lots of other stuff then Harvard’s in the bag but my buddy there are thousands of candidates like you only your essay will be really really way to get out in the crowd</p>
<p>I think you can probably to ignore that 13-year-old from the way [s]he uses English, but do. I think your chances are probably better than average, and the most helpful thing for you to do at this point would be to make sure your essays are very good.</p>
<p>so from what i seem to understand … my whole application will depend on how much good my essays are at the end of the day ?? …</p>
<p>No. Your resume and transcript will probably get you into the top half of applicants, where it is the soft factors that rule the day. Essays are the only part that is still largely under your control at this point, but the overall appearance of your resume and how that jives with your essays, and how your teacher/counselor recommendations (which are probably at least as important as your essays) relate to both of them is what will matter.</p>
<p>Do you have to submit ( post or mail ) your report card…even though you’ve submitted everything on the common app?</p>
<p>even if you have submitted everything on common app … yours SoP ,L.R. ,transcripts and all have to be sent to the college and along with that your report card too …</p>
