Who's turning down Harvard this year?

Applying to College
1

<p>there are maybe ~200 people who get to do this every year.</p>

<p>my friend is turning it down (after getting in SCEA) for Penn Wharton.</p>

2

<p>yuppp!!! same case over here brassmonkey</p>

<p>Penn WHARTON over Harvard... :(</p>

3

<p>doesnt he have to w/ scea?</p>

4

<p>scea is non-binding</p>

5

<p>but she* had to wait for the RD round to get in everywhere else</p>

6

<p>oh okay... sorry about the whole he/she mix up it was unintentional</p>

7

<p>my friend did for Pton</p>

8

<p>Penn Wharton and Princeton...not really steps down from Harvard at all.</p>

9

<p>actually about 400 admitted Harvard students ultimately turn it down.</p>

10

<p>last year 452people turn down harvard...pretty interesting...</p>

11

<p>oh..................i thought their yield was lke 87%</p>

12

<p>my friend's little brother is turning it down for a full-ride at Maryland (gemstone program) and his cousin is turning it down for deep springs i think</p>

13

<p>Deep Springs is crazy. Our Harvard-bound val brought in the brochure that he got in the mail. Nuts.</p>

<p>A friend I know from another school went 3/3 on HYP and is attending Princeton.</p>

14

<p>Oh yeah? Well my friend got into Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia among others, I'm sure).</p>

<p>But she's going to Harvard. :&lt;/p>

<p>I think one guy from my school turned down Harvard for Princeton.</p>

15

<p>A guy from my school last year turned down Harvard for Princeton. His twin sister got into Princeton, but not into Harvard. I am not sure if that played into his decision or not.</p>

16

<p>I'm turning down Harvard for Mt. SAC Community College. I got a full ride though.</p>

<p>jk :)</p>

<p>It's on one hand amazing people turning down Harvard,
but if i got into Harvard/Stanford. I'd actually choose Stanford. A lot better to me.</p>

17

<p>Yeah, I'd definitely pick Yale over Harvard. And even though I like the other schools better, I'd probably pick Harvard over Chicago and Stanford just because it's closer to home.</p>

18

<p>my friend is deferring Harvard until next year...He's going to live in Colorado and ski for a year.</p>

19

<p>Their yield is more like 78%.</p>

20

<p>Friend turned down Harvard for the UNC Morehead Scholarship. Not really a step down there.</p>
