Harvard’s acceptance rate was under 5% this year. Your chances (and the chance for any unhooked applicant) to be accepted is small. By all means put in an application and give it your all – but be sure to also seek out and apply to a set of match and safety schools that appear affordable (run net price calculators) and that you would be excited to attend.

You definitely have a point :confused: Thanks for the feedback though! I’ll most likely apply just to give it a shot lol

Your chances depend on how you choose to write you essay, my man
