Why i will get into Harvard

Applying to College
1

<p>So, jk
This question might be helpful though. Are 4 teacher recs maximim number we can send? I got 4 great ones...</p>

2

<p>the thicker the pile, the thicker the student...</p>

<p>4? From what I've read/heard, the most you want to send in, the absolute most, would be 3. After that, adcoms most likely won't even regard them. Directly from Harvard's website: "it is generally advisable to submit no more than two or three." </p>

<p>This doesn't just apply to Harvard; any college doesn't want to have 4 recommendations from you, even if the recommendations are all absolutely terrific. 2 absolutely terrific ones will suffice (they will do more justice than 4; 4 will just seem like you are obsessed with giving them more to read).</p>

4

<p>Most of the time, adcoms just toss things in the trash. Be careful about what you send.</p>

5

<p>does it "hurt" to send in 4?</p>

6

<p>Quoting H's website:</p>

<p>" Should students send supplementary recommendations?</p>

<p>While we can make careful evaluations with required recommendations, we are happy to read helpful letters from people directly familiar with applicants' lives outside the classroom. Such letters are not necessary, however, and it is generally advisable to submit no more than two or three."</p>

<p>I find it unlikely that you are receiving four perspectives that are fresh or unique. Your 1st two are fine. The others may not add anything even if they're "great".</p>

<p>And while your confidence is noteworthy (Why i will get into Harvard), people may find it somewhat naive. Unless your a development admit, no one has even "good" chances.</p>

<p>Good luck nonetheless</p>

<p>i was just trying to grab attention btw. I know my chances very well.</p>

8

<p>"I know my chances very well."</p>

<p>Then you must be He. The Messiah.</p>

9

<p>my chance=next to zero
good enough for u?</p>

10

<p>Just send all 4. They might read all of them. You never know.</p>

11

<p>a very clever title to get people to look at this thread</p>
