<p>You have a shot but remember even for you the admissions to Harvard is a crapshoot. =[</p>

3

<p>^ what he/she said...</p>

4

<p>Since you asked:</p>

<p>You may be one of the 25,000 (92% of applicant pool) who are denied.</p>

<p>But then, you may be one of the 2,000 (8% of applicant pool) who are admitted.</p>

<p>You can call me Mr. Prognoticator.</p>

5

<p>It's the worst year of admissions ever; it seems as though you need to atleast find a cure to AIDS to make the cut.</p>

6

<p>3-time USAMO qualifier = pretty sweet. </p>

<p>i think you should get in, but if you don't, you always have mit or caltech to go to.</p>

7

<p>I know what you mean when you say you can't concentrate. I'm on spring break now and I'm supposed to be doing homework as well as working on my Senior Thesis but I feel no inspiration anymore...or at least I ONLY thinking about college. :) All I can say is good luck (!), because as dwindlelights said it's really a crapshoot...especially this year.</p>

8

<p>I'm trying to stay busy i.e. I've been reading Beloved intensely for AP English Lit.</p>

9

<p>The end is near and may I suggest xanax.</p>

10

<p>What's the worst that could happen? You wind at MIT or Caltech?</p>

<p>I find it oddly difficult to sympathize with you.</p>
