<p>I guess I’m going against the grain here, but I am going to try and apply to Harvard for the fun of it next year (white guy applying to African-American studies, so I’ll be an URM). When I get rejected, I will happily frame the rejection letter. I really have no intrest in attending, but if I was accepted, I would surely go. Cornell is the only Ivy I have any real interest in, though.</p>
<p>Haha. I applied to Harvard this year and got flat out rejected, but I"m going to MIT, a school that accepted me EA. I applied to Harvard because I thought I had a chance/shot of getting in, but it doesn’t matter too much now, because I like MIT better. After all, we at MIT love to make jokes about Harvard’s education, because we at MIT study those real things. :D</p>

<p>…what? If I, as an African American, major in European History, does that make me Caucasian?</p>
<p>I applied to Harvard for the hell of it. I don’t think I was wasting anyone’s time though. I was definitely “qualified” and it was up there along with UCLA, Princeton, and Caltech as my top choice.</p>

<p>If it was your top choice and you were qualified, then I fail to see how your application was sent “for the hell of it”.</p>

<p>Someone please explain this statement to me?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I meant that I would probably have gone if I had gotten in. That being said, I didn’t do much research, wasn’t particularly enthusiastic, and didn’t care about getting rejected.</p>
