<p>ok, so yesterday in my AP English class this girl said she just got accepted into Harvard with a scholarship last week...she's known to be a habitual liar...but is that even possible??...I'm not hating on her or anything lol...just wanted to know if that was actually possible</p>
<p>unless she's an athlete or some sort of recruit, it isn't possible</p>
<p>It's possible. But not very likely. Look at the statistics. She is known as a liar. Harvard is way selective. Probably not.</p>
<p>Harvard althetes don't get scholarships. It's an Ivy League rule. All NCAA D1+ (Ivy League) schools cannot offer any scholarships. All Harvard offers is Merit Aid.</p>
<p>Also, it's way too early in the school year to hear back from anything. Unless she's solved cystic fibrosis, I doubt she has anything to offer.</p>
<p>TuftsPlease, I believe you mean they only offer need-based aid, not merit aid.</p>
<p>Nuh uh. Unless she's dirt po' or a super duper athlete (which if she's a liar, she probably isn't) then no. The biatch's lyin'.</p>
<p>a habitual liar doin wut she does best i guess.</p>
<p>and did she possibly think people would believe her? app time is barely here!</p>
<p>well she can go to harvard at least to the door and get kicked out of the dorms if she tries to get in.</p>
<p>Sorry, I was thinking of the wrong word. Yes, all Harvard offers is need-based aid. </p>
<p>And again, as stated, it doesn't matter if you're James Lebron, Harvard cannot pay one to go there. It's against NCAA policies.</p>
<p>ok lol...</p>
<p>and to make it worse she actually said "Class I have an announcement, I got accepted into Harvard and they're paying 1/3 tuition" and everybody (including the teacher) clapped...in the back of my head I was like "are you serious...you liar"...the teacher was like "oo oo hurry and go tell your counselor I'll write you a pass"...then she headed to the office looking kinda depressed...she's lied about the DUMBEST stuff ever since freshman year...</p>
<p><em>sigh</em>...lol</p>
<p>just to let you know,,its LeBron James,, not James Lebron.</p>
<p>you seem to be forget the fact that Harvard hasn't accepted ANYONE yet</p>
<p>Why do peole lie like that????
That just sad since everyone will find out the truth sooner or later.</p>
<p>LOL!! What else did she lie about?</p>
<p>i knew someone that lied about EVERYTHING. i mean this girl lied about being pregnant and having been places and she even "fixed" a photo to make it look like she was in the caribbean for vacation. the problem is she used a pic of herself that i had seen before in its original form. haha. anytime anyone confronts her about it she says "oh i don't know" and avoids the topic. idiot.</p>
<p>and just for the record, there are D1 schools that do give athletic scholarships. however ivy leagues don't, including harvard. they only give need based, as previously mentioned.<br>

Harvard</a> is very much interested in good athletes if they meet the colleges academic standards. No athletic scholarships are awarded, but all students who are admitted will be provided appropriate financial assistance if needed, including athletes.

--Does</a> Harvard offer financial aid?
--Yes. About 70% of Harvard students receive some form of financial aid -- grants, loans, and/or part-time work. Our program of need-based financial aid is designed to meet 100% of a family's demonstrated need. Our financial aid policies apply equally to international and U.S. citizens</p>
<p>--Does Harvard award merit scholarships?
--No. Harvard is firmly committed to allocating resources to sustain our policies of need-blind admissions and need-based financial aid. Our unusually talented student populations -- chosen in a very competitive admissions process-- would, in any case, complicate the equitable distribution of merit-based awards. However, students last year brought with them to Harvard about $11 million in scholarships from outside resources, thus enhancing their own financial flexibility during their college years.

<p>and how does she know she accepted? deadlines haven't even passed. haha.</p>
<p>coolness_rookie. haha yeh. I mess up on that one a lot. Mentally always think James should be a first name and Lebron a last.</p>
<p>she's lied so much I can't keep up with it...she's such a smart/nice person but you can't trust ANYTHING that comes out of her mouth</p>
<p>coqui, D1 schools are obliged to give full scholarships. However under NCAA D1 rules they have a limit they can only give 15 full scholarships, which makes them VERY picky on who to pick.</p>
<p>However D1+ schools, which is just a fancy term for Ivy Leaguers can never give any. Not one cent. Ivy League orginally only meant an althetic league. However, as times have shown this has changed drastically.</p>
<p>i was wondering how she was "accepted" so early.....and, your teacher didn't even know that decisions haven't come out yet.....hhmmmm....</p>
<p>Nope, completely impossible. We don't even get our decisions until December for the SCEA applicants. I can't even believe that you're teacher fell for it; she should know better.</p>
