Hi everyone !
My friend is living in ghetto and she would like to go in harvard. She drop out school at 16 with 0.1 GPA.
At 18 she get back in school and took the certificate of vocational proficiency.
After few years, she took the SAT by self taugh and she got a perfect score on the SAT.
Even with 2400 she did poorly in high school, she was always joking or sleeping in class, teachers called her “dump”. I told her it’s a waste of time and money to apply for all ivy league colleges.
How to convince her that she souldn’t apply there (or at least just Harvard) and how can she increase her chances to get in Harvard ?
I told her to tell Harvard the truth she was poor, she has a parent in jail and she needed to work so she drop out, but to not tell about her year during the certificate of vocational proficiency and don’t sent the school report because she did poorly.
An essay about overcoming obstacles : ghetto, poverty, teachers told her “she’s hopless”, drop out high school, handicapped brother, self taugh . What do you think ?
