<p>Today I received a phone call from the Harvard admissions office congratulating me on my acceptance!</p>
<p>When I look around this board I see nothing but a bunch of stressers and worrywarts. It's all hogwash. Just accept what happens and know that it happened for a reason--whether you get accepted or denied. If the latter, it just means that your fate has in store other great things for you.</p>
<p>Although my SAT is rather unimpressive (2010), I have no minority status, and my ECs did not extend outside of varsity sports and working at my family's local business, I still got in.</p>
<p>I think, of anything, my essays were my hook.
I can't stop smiling.</p>
<p>And I assure you what I am telling you is as real as it gets. My college counselor received a phone call at school today at around 10 AM and called me into his office to pass along the message. Apparently they had called me the day before, but their call wasn’t answered–nor did they leave a message.</p>
<p>Congratulations! I did not receive a call (although I know many that did), but rather received a snail mail letter informing me of my acceptance! You may get one soon. Please post on the Harvard 2015 thread! Will you be attending the visiting weekend? Cant wait to meet you:)</p>
<p>Let’s do it! I wrote a scholarship essay to the Ayn Rand foundation once…didn’t win anything and it was likely a waste of time, but I love her writing nonetheless!</p>
<p>Hey guys, I received a call today too! I’m so happy, lol! My scores were rather low – 2030 – but, as you can see, anyone can do it if they wish hard enough! Someone called my cell phone in the morning, but I ran out of minutes and didn’t think much about it when my my principal called me during a break and told me Harvard had just called him! And you know what happened then! I was so happy I peed a little in my pants; no one saw it, though, so no big deal. My principal said that he had already passed along the happy news to my parents.
Omg, just shower me with congratulations!</p>
