What are my chances of getting into Harvard? (Brownie points if you give more tips!)

Anyone’s chances of getting into Harvard or Stanford are quite low, but do apply; some are chosen. Also apply to schools where your stats fall in the range of those shown in the Common Data Set of the previously admitted class. Roughly speaking, if you apply to 10 schools where you have a 50% chance of admission at each, you have a 0.1% chance of being rejected by all.
