i submitted a research paper i wrote this summer</p>

<p>3 other kids from my school are applying early, some have better gpas, but i trump them all in standardized tests and extracurrics</p>

<p>thats pretty much my app, so what are my chances?</p>

2

<p>Your chances are the same as mine times 12. So I'd say, 60%.</p>

3

<p>yup, at least 60%</p>

4

<p>RSI? I would ... um.. do a very extreme idiom if you don't get in.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, and a great recommendation from a Harvard Medical Professor...why is this thread even on here?</p>

6

<p>Because Harvard is hard to get into even for rickoids.</p>

7

<p>Nope. Not a snowball's chance... ;)</p>

<p>But then it's very cold in Boston.</p>

<p>BTW, I could totally imagine you typing that out: "I trump them all...MWAHAHA!" You'll fit right in with the soulless lackies of Satan. In Boston. Where it's cold. Now I'm confused.</p>

<p>BULLDOGS! Sorry, Yale SCEA, please don't kill me.</p>

8

<p>As we've had that nice little chat before in the other topic here, spyder, and thats yes i won't be surprised if you get in. but i'll still ROFL if you get rejected.</p>

<p>Oh and wait wait, you tell me your real name is Jennifer Staple, the founder of Unite for Sight, and a sophomore from Yale University?</p>

<p>reference: <a href="http://www.uniteforsight.org/history.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.uniteforsight.org/history.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

9

<p>oh.. if you meant that you founded the club at your school, you might want to clarify. good stats btw.</p>

10

<p>we carved a decapitated bulldog into our entryway pumpkin for halloween :)</p>

11

<p>^that is too cool</p>

<p>yeah i obviously meant i founded the club in school, its an international organization... and when i said i trump them all i was just emphasizing the difference, it wasnt intended any other way, im good friends with all of them</p>

<p>you guys need to stop reading into things and assuming the worst...
thanks for the positive comments though</p>

12

<p>bump bump bump it up</p>

13

<p>you obviously have an awesome chance, better than me anyways. Do you know how much they count reccomendations.</p>

14

<p>do u think that makes a big difference stanstud?</p>

15

<p>I'd say 50% just because only recruited athletes and crazy legacy kiddos ever get above that.</p>

16

<p>there is no way to tell that starry, I still think u have a great chance. Al this percentage stuff is bs</p>

17

<p>Yeah, there are definitely some non-legacy, non-athlete students with significantly higher chances of admission. I would wager, however, that for Harvard few applicants can ever hope for more than about 80% (and those are the most extraordinary). There have just been too many fluke rejections...</p>

18

<p>i'm gald you're not cocky...:rolleyes:</p>

<p>Jk.....Good chance, but do they seriously only want a limited number of Rickoids?</p>

<p>Also, if you get in, you can justify the "Do whatever you can to get into the college you want" (something like that) thread........</p>

<p>Does anyone even remember that thread? lol.</p>

19

<p>haha true i can, and yeah im a guy thank god</p>

20

<p>i hope u get rejected just for saying that</p>
