<p>I've been trying really hard, but I don't really want to talk about myself right now, could you guys just list some things that I need to get into Harvard?</p>
<p>What kind of GPA?
What kind of SAT score?
What kind of extra-curriculars?
etc</p>
<p>Obviously as high as you can get them, and even that’s not a guarantee.</p>
<p>Why do you want to go to Harvard? Have you ever heard of any other colleges?</p>
<p>3.8+ GPA
2200+ SAT
but, these are not set in stone… there are many exceptions to this.</p>
<p>You need a 4.0 unweighted, 2400 SAT score, AMAZING extracurriculars, pixi dust, and a prayer. </p>
<p>Honestly, I suggest being on top of your schoolwork, join activities that interest you, find leadership and volunteer opportunities, and just be an amazing person. By that I mean show passion and drive. Find a goal (that isn’t getting into Harvard) and work towards it. I know a girl who got into Harvard and she is just a great person. Fantastic grades and test scores, really passionate, and just an overall nice human being to be around. But, in my opinion, Harvard is such a bad dream school. But that’s another discussion.</p>
<p>Luck .</p>
<p>Curing cancer might help.</p>
<p>Maybe.</p>
<p>Only luck because it depends on the person who reads your application</p>
<p>Be a person and not a robot. They want to see more than just numbers on a page.</p>
<p>Instead of locking yourself in your room with textbooks to get a perfect gpa and perfect test scores, go out there and do interesting things that will make you stand out over the other thousands of applicants with perfect grades and scores. If you can’t do both then maybe you aren’t Harvard material.</p>
<p>You need to cure cancer, climb Mount Everest, win a gold medal at the Olympics, be a triple legacy, and get a personal letter of rec from the Queen of England.</p>
<p>Just kidding. Harvard accepts a diverse range of kids with unusual interests, from what I’ve heard. Just be super involved and whatever you do, do it exceptionally well.</p>
<p>Besides stellar numbers, great E.C.s and well written essays the rest of your admission to Harvard depends on luck.
However, the real question here is why do you want to go to Harvard? Because depending on your major, other schools may be more better suited for your field of choice.</p>
<p>You need to save a person that is about to get run over by a car.</p>
<p>^Nah, that’ll only get you into Cornell. For Harvard, you have to free all North Koreans.</p>
<p>Curing cancer will get you into Harvard. It’s been proven.</p>
<p>The secret rests within the realm of Mordor. You must journey across Middle-Earth with an old wizard. Only then can you get into Harvard. </p>
<p>Idiot.</p>
<p>Be the long lost child of Steve Jobs.</p>
<p>Are you in the top 2% of your whole school? If you are then you have a 60% chance otherwise you won’t get accepted</p>
<p>@LTLC its 2% now? I was under the misconception of 2.53%</p>
<p>There is no “magic formula” to get into Harvard. Be a good person, get good grades, and let the chips fall where they may.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can get into Harvard by sitting in a room with textbooks and thereby obtaining perfect test scores.</p>
<p>^perfect test scores arent enough lol</p>
