<p>Thanks Suze and Megastud.</p>

<p>Stealthvoltage- that really was out of line and offensive.</p>

<p>I was going to PM this to you, but since you've disabled personal messages, I'll post it right here.</p>

<p>""If you where [sic] a 5 generation legacy and you still didn't get in...then you really don't belong there."</p>

<p>I graduated in the top 8% of my reasonably competitive class. My (old) SAT score was a 1450- my SAT IIs were 780, 770, and 700. I have 3 5s, a 4 and a 3 on AP exams. No, I'm not the most outstanding applicant Harvard has ever had. No, I'm not even near the top- but I'm a damn good Latin student and I know how to write well. I think it's a stretch to say that "I don't belong there". And next time you criticize someone's intellect and credentials, at least get your own grammar correct.</p>

<p>I'm sorry you didn't get in elizabeth, I really am. I know I didn't directly offend you as stealthvoltage did, but I am still very sorry if I did offend you. I just asked WM and they said it is basically a significant tiebreaker. So, thanks everyone for your comments.</p>

<p>Derek, not directed at you at all. No hard feelings there- there's nothing wrong with asking a question :).</p>
