<p>Harvard2001- I myself am an American Indian from a tribe in Oklahoma. I have good friends from several reservations in SD as well. And I have come across Indian applicants from SD with excellent stats, one of whom is attending Stanford in the fall. Any more comments?</p>
<p>This message is for filmxoxo</p>

<p>Why, I'll send you a little PM right about now... :)</p>
<p>Now I haven't applied yet, but i had my interview, and my interviewer told me that Harvard doesn't look for "perfect" kids with 1600 SAT scores, etc. In fact, they reject 60% of them. In my school we had a kid with an A+ average over 4 years of school, 1600 SATs, awards from all department, two varsity sports (esp soccer - we're the best private HS in New England in soccer), etc etc etc and got rejected by Harvard.</p>
<p>You can 1000+ plus hours volunteering at a hospital, but people do it too often just to get into college. and I think Harvard can see when you're doing something because you like it and when you're doing it to look impressive.</p>
<p>Hey karabas, you're in Stamford? That's awesome, I live about...10 minutes away in Norwack. Just wanted to say hi.</p>
