Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2017

<p>My brother just got accepted!!! wohoooo!!</p>

<p>I think it’s insulting that you marginalize people like me and our merits by saying things like that. I have worked hard and am blessed. I’m not trying to argue</p>

<p>Good luck to all deferrees, I KNOW you will end up somewhere great and same to you rejectees! Much love!</p>

<p>Deferred…</p>

<p>Aw, tony. Umad?</p>

<p>How do you guys think you got in, URMs? I’m sure some with higher scores than you got rejected.</p>

<p>Starktony, how dare you. That is such a horrific thing to say. Affirmative action or not, everyone who was accepted got in for a REASON. Everyone who got in deserves it, whatever his/her ethnicity may be. Let’s not turn this into a politics.</p>

<p>So we’re trolls because we were accepted and didn’t have perfect test scores?
Lol alright. You’re obviously just bitter.
I had some really unique EC’s which probably were a huge advantage in getting accepted. Just shows tests scores and grades aren’t everything.</p>

<p>yessss im mad. </p>

<p>“Affirmative action or not, everyone who was accepted got in for a REASON.”</p>

<p>I never said they weren’t.</p>

<p>"I have worked hard and am blessed. "</p>

<p>Yes, God got you into Harvard.</p>

<p>"So we’re trolls because we were accepted and didn’t have perfect test scores? "</p>

<p>I think they were calling me the ■■■■■.</p>

<p>"You’re obviously just bitter. "</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>“I had some really unique EC’s which probably were a huge advantage in getting accepted.”</p>

<p>tell us more.</p>

<p>“I’m sure some with higher scores than you got rejected.”</p>

<p>I never said they weren’t.</p>

<p>guys EVERYONE think before you speak. saying things like “anyone can get in” hurts those of us who got deferred just as much as a **** you to the accepted kids.</p>

<p>Deferred, 2360 SAT, 4.9 weighted GPA, URM. There BETTER not be any arguments about affirmative action on this thread, I swear…</p>

<p>High scorers that got differed will get in regular</p>

<p>I honestly believe the key is essays. My race doesn’t mean anything. Admissions are HOLISTIC and I worked really hard on my essays. Great teacher recs helped too, I’m sure. </p>

<p>People have a hard time understanding the meaning of HOLISTIC</p>

<p>For anyone applying RD, I think submitting the optional supplement DEFINITELY helps… show them another side of you!</p>

<p>Nope, acceptances have been sent out. I can confirm this 100% (but they are still being sent out as of right now)</p>

<p>^^^YES your race is very likely what got you in.
Affirmative action is unfair; however, there’s still a pretty high chance that all us deferred (including stark and I) would still be deferred if affirmative action didn’t exist-afterall they only accepted a hundred or so URM’s.</p>

<p>Philovitist. You recently posted a thread:</p>

<p>“How much does being URM help at top colleges?”</p>

<p>Good job.</p>

<p>Deferred with a 3.6 gpa. I’m stunned (and thrilled) I wasn’t rejected.</p>

<p>Not even deferred…rejected
2040 SAT 3.95, 5.093 GPA, ****ty EC’s saw that coming.</p>

<p>@shelly318</p>

<p>LOL :D</p>

<p>“Tell us more”
I started my own business at 16, interned on wall street for the past two summers and had a letter of recommendation from the CEO of a company
And no Im not a minority. White female from California.</p>

<p>My girlfriend was just accepted and she’s caucasian. I am a first gen Guyanese girl and I was defered so.</p>

<p>OMG guys literally enough with the affirmative action. It really makes people like me who are URMs with almost perfect SAT scores and who didn’t get in feel like total CRAP. If these people with low 2000s got in, there MUST have been something in them that they didn’t see in you. If race was such a huge factor, I would be celebrating instead of crying right now.</p>
