<p>Hi, I've been waitlisted for Harvard.
and I'd really love to go there.
However, my counselor seems to know only a little about Harvard
so if any of you know what I should do next,
please let me know.</p>
<p>And... CONGRATS to those who got in!</p>
<p>Send me a PM with your town, school, stats and ec's</p>
<p>My son has been waitlisted also. Any advice as to what he should do next?</p>
<p>Stats are SAT M-800, V - 790 Writing 800, ACT 35, Full course load of AP's this year, past years AP scores 4 & 5, Class rank 1 of 360, Small, blue collar town on the West side of Rochester, New York. EC's are probably the weakest area, all are centered around school activities, band, math league, masterminds, NHS, peer-tutoring. Teacher recommendations are thought to be excellent.</p>
<p>i personally asked some of the JPL engineers to write me rec letters.
