Official Harvard RD Decisions - Class of 2010

<p>The big day is coming up real quick. I, for one, have been looking forward to the day that I'll post my decision since I joined CC. I just hope it will start with the "A" instead of the "R" or "W".</p>

<p>But remember people, Harvard IS one of the most selective colleges in the world, if not the most selective. So if you get rejected, do not fret because for every person accepted, nearly 20 were rejected. University is NOT a judgement of character or abilities. The overwhelming majority of successful people in the world today did not go to Harvard, or even to an Ivy League for that matter. If you get rejected, don't feel down. Pick up your chin, it's Harvard's loss. Now go out there and enjoy the last few months of high school, and look forward to a brand new life that is college and beyond. </p>

<p>Good luck, everyone. </p>

<p>Think that will get me in? I hope so.</p>

<p>hereiam should be accepted for sheer creativity. =)</p>

<p>Decision: Crimson</p>

<p>tokenadult brings up a good point: aesthetics demands that decisions, particularly acceptances, be crimson.</p>

<p>[ color=#a30013]</p>

<p>The "red" is wildly ugly. This crimson should be the closest thing to, if not identically, the true Harvard Crimson. Gleaning this small [url=<a href="http://www.harvard.edu/images/global/footer_bull.gif%5Dbullet%5B/url"&gt;http://www.harvard.edu/images/global/footer_bull.gif]bullet[/url&lt;/a&gt;], Photoshop showed that no variation in the crimson existed (i.e., artifacts).</p>

<p>Anyway, Spivak calls.</p>

<p>ok i think the crimson is a great choice, but now what do you use for rejections?</p>

<p>lets use the bright red for rejections then because blue would kinda throw people off and there's a big enough difference between the crimson and the red.</p>

<p>

<p>thx ginny weasley =]</p>

<p>Hereiam: Mr. Burns went to Yale. Might hurt your chances :T </p>
