<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I need your help on deciding whether it's worth it to apply EA to Harvard or any other Ivies... and what other schools I should apply to.</p>

Summers -
Went to summer school to get ahead, internships listed below, Concordia language villages, international youth democracy summit at Unversity of Virgia</p>

<p>Hook: Internship at an Embassy in Washington DC, internship at a senate campaign, internship at a law firm, lived in 4 countries, done a lot of work in international relations and political science, which are what I want to study in college.</p>

<p>I know I don't have national awards or leadership positions. I haven't found the cure for cancer and don't have a New York Times bestseller under my belt. My school doesn't really enter its students into national competitions, except the AMC. So, I would really appreciate your inputs on any national competitions that I could enter or national leadership awards that you know of.</p>

<p>Thanks so much!!!</p>

<p>If you are liberal: Accepted EA</p>

<p>If you are conservative: Deferred EA and either rejected or accepted RD, probably rejected.</p>

<p>Does harvard really discriminate like that against conservatives? Because I really want to found a young republicans club at my school next year, but i dont want it to be a backlash.</p>

<p>Well, heck, if Harvard cared about political views, conservatism would probably be an advantage! Harvard does love diversity!</p>

<p>But no, to answer that question, Harvard does not discriminate against conservatives in the application process, though the campus is predominantly liberal (...but what campus isn't these days...).</p>
