<p>Crunch time is really coming with admissions decisions only 18 days away. So I thought it might be interesting to have a little fun. A lot of you seem really passionate about attending Harvard, so I was wondering, how bad do you want it? What would you sacrifice for Harvard?</p>

<p>It can be anything from your right leg to your mother (if you so desire).</p>

<p>So I'll go first, I would sacrifice my summer European trip to attend Harvard.</p>

<p>Now you're turn!!!</p>

2

<p>I would sacrifice a sheep.</p>

3

<p>Really would not sacrifice anything tangible or most intangible...either they wise up and take me....OR NOT! But in this case......welll....umm....sacrifice my time and money...if they gave crappy aid i would still probably go.</p>

4

<p>I would sacrifice my soul...o wait, I already have.</p>

5

<p>I just wanna get in and focus on getting many scholarships!!</p>

6

<p>I sacrificed $110. :) App. - $65 CSS Profile - $23 Fed Ex. - $20 Woo!</p>

<p>Wait until after people have gotten rejection letters, and then ask them... ;)</p>

<p>I'd give up playing Halo.</p>

<p>And I play A LOT of Halo.</p>

<p>somebody turned down Harvard for Wabash? wow, thats pretty messed up</p>

11

<p>hmm no wonder their advertising. i would give up, well whatever they ask for. i guess that means time, money etc. but by going to harvard id gain so much more, even the requirments like advance courses etc. push us. i want to go to harvard pretty bad, but i wouldnt give up my mother. </p>

<p>i guess if you want a fun answer it would be my pc. i have really nice one i built from scratch by myself, but i guess i would be willing to give it up for the big H.</p>

<p>hey speaking of which, would computer building be something to add to a app? im guessing no, but its one of my hobbies.</p>

<p>such a clever take on the admissions process. i can totally relate to what she said. the college admission process really does do strange things to normal students...</p>

<p>I will sacrifice the finest suit of armor on the battlefield to Jupiter Feretrius if granted victory in the coming battle!</p>

<p>Sorry. Couldn't resist...</p>

17

<p>I'd give up a full ride to CalTech.</p>

<p>I was also thinking I'd give up playing frisbee, but I'd rather go somewhere else if it came to that.</p>

18

<p>Nobody wants to sacrifice a goat?</p>

<p>How about a chicken? We'll barbecue it afterwards! :D</p>

19

<p>Killing animals doesn't really count as a "sacrifice". That's more like a bonus cause you get to eat it!! Mmmmm, meeeaaaaattttt.....</p>

<p>What? But the gods demand sacrifices! ;)</p>
