<p>Other than people who have already gotten likelies( congrats!), who actually believes they will be admitted? And why? I dont think i have a chance in hell of getting in, particularly after my horrid interview :(.</p>
<p>i had a great interview, have a 36 act, near 800 sat II’s, a perfect gpa, and great ec’s. but even so, its just as much of a crapshoot for me as it is for anyone else (~7% chance). it all depends on what they’re looking for this year, and of course a little bit of luck.</p>
<p>With regards to the interview, i wouldnt worry about it as it supposedly has very little weight.</p>
<p>Nope. My stats are waaaaaaay too low and the fact that I’m incredibly low-income and very strong in the areas I plan to study still hasn’t swayed the two other colleges I’ve heard back from, so Harvard = no go. I still love the school, though, so there’s always either Law or the Kennedy School of Government. 
And I’m sure the class of 2013 will be amazing regardless; I wish them well in this time of economic upheaval. They’re the best of the best, after all.</p>
<p>For sure! My dad is on the executive committee of the COUR. And I told him to throw in an extra million this year to make up for my 1720 SAT. I know average :(</p>
<p>Havard has to admit about 1700 or so freshman. They do not have to admit any particular applicant.</p>
<p>^Exactly. I think without a likely letter it’s hard to say you’re for sure getting in.</p>
<p>Being rejected would be the easy way out, although I have a lurking feeling I might get accepted right when I finish falling in love with Columbia. </p>
<p>But I’m going to be rejected probably anyways :P</p>
<p>I also had a nice interview, good stats too. However, Harvard admissions cannot be predicted. I have seen videos on Harvard’s website about people being confused about themselves being accepted there.</p>
<p>It’s all weird, I would like to share my case with you guys: I got into Caltech EA, deferred in MIT EA, AND REJECTED at CAL POLY SLO. It’s strange huh?</p>
<p>I think its because Cal Poly being only interested in the student’s stats and not his/her complete profile.</p>
<p>No one has mentioned the Waitlist which can be a whole other roller -coaster ride-just warning you all-be prepared!</p>
<p>^^^Thanks for the warning!!!</p>
<p>I’m just trying to keep a postive attitude…I worked as hard as I could on my application, and my interviews went well. If I do get in, it’ll be awesome. If not, it won’t be a surprise or a big deal. Most people don’t make it into Harvard and I’m really excited about other schools that I’ve already been accepted to.</p>
<p>It’s no use going crazy over the pending decisions…and I don’t think that anybody can honestly say that they think they’ll get in (likely letters aside.)</p>
<p>Harvard admits about 2100 (last year, it was 1950 or so but after the waitlist, it was closer to 2100, which is what Harvard always aims for), not 1700.</p>
<p>lol, i’m just waiting for that $60 rejection letter.</p>
<p>lols at the value of the rejection letter… so true</p>
<p>I think I have a reasonable shot… URM and all, lolz.</p>
<p>Also, Harvard is relatively nice to our school.</p>
<p>(read: I will not be getting in)</p>
<p>I do not think I will get in because I have rather low SATs and just decent SAT IIs, but all my other stats and extracurriculars are impressive/unique IMO (but just average at Harvard of course).</p>
<p>I guess it depends on how my race (I am not a URM, white, or asian) plays into the college admissions. Through my app, an adcom can see I am definitely more diverse (race/experience wise) than most URMs. I guess they can sort of count me as an international applicant because 1. I live in the country of my heritage every summer,2. my first language was not English, 3. I am a citizen of that country 4. I am a first generation American.</p>
<p>The fact that I have gone through the political upheavals of this country (I wrote my essay about getting stuck in a war) may help my chances tremendously. Some of my extracurriculars are centered around my race/ culture as well (this includes some of my community service). </p>
<p>But I surely can not assume an acceptance; In comparison to all your stats, it looks like my chances are very dim. But, Harvard is a crapshoot so who knows!</p>
<p>On a side note, I think it is ridiculous that 25% of accepted students score below 2090 on the SAT, yet 25% score above a 2360! That means one fourth of all students have tremendously higher SAT scores than another whole fourth of the class!</p>
<p>25% below 2090? Wow, I got a 2080 (thanks, math). Cooooooool.</p>
<p>25% below 2090? thats surprising but gives me a glimmer of hope.</p>
<p>best way of predicting if you’re going to get in:
get a twenty sided dice: roll a one, you are in. roll anything else, you aren’t.</p>
<p>Fudge, I have to carve out a TWENTY SIDED wooden dice now???</p>
