<p>That doesn’t sound “mean” to me, that sounds realistic; they’re doing you a favor. Sometimes we think we’re hot **** and we forget just how many people are out there that we have to compete against for the things we want. They’re saving you time and effort, because with that gpa your application will be thrown out as soon as it arrives. They won’t even look at it. Just because you want something, doesn’t mean you’ll get it. Maybe you won’t see it now but you might even come to appreciate their candor some day.</p>
<p>P.S. If you really wanted Harvard this wouldn’t phase you for a second. So why are you making a big deal out of it? I’m sure there are things you could do. Maybe donate an airport? All kidding aside, if you really want something you can’t let anything stop you.</p>
