<p>Hey,
Like everyone else here I want to apply. For the last couple years I never thought I would seeing that Harvard rejects more people than they actually take. I think that Harvard may help me extend my knowledge but at the same time I know that life moves on and there will be other opportunities. So do I even have a shot here or not?
My grades: 93% average
ACT: 29
Outside of school: volunteer at the local hospital, I am part of the Lions volunteer organization.
Involved in my schools: National honor society, aviation club,environmental club, reading bowl, and I am on the Library student board.
Spent my last summer in Italy on a scholarship learning the culture/language/history.
My parents are refugee's from Russia. I am fluent in both Russian and English. My dad is a truck driver and I also work to help support my family.
I know that many other people have the same grades/clubs/activities so people of Harvard is it even worth a try.
Oh I have random Honors/AP classes here and there. I love books I read everything that I can get my hands on. I first wanted to apply to Harvard because I read a book by Emma Dench. I want to be a philosophy major maybe. I don't know what else is needed since this is basically all they ask on the application.</p>
<p>It’s worth applying as long as your application isn’t so atrocious that you have virtually no shot of getting in. Yours doesn’t seem to be that atrocious, so apply.</p>
<p>Absolutely, it’s worth applying. As Dwight stated, unless your application is atrocious (and your application isn’t bad at all), you should definitely apply.</p>
