Would anybody be willing to offer any advice for entering Harvard?

Question

Being a Junior at the moment, it has always been my dream to end up there studying Environmental law and Psychology later. I am the kind of person who will not stop until the goal is accomplished, making realities happen. However, deep down I am scared to death- it's a what if I won't..thing. I am very determined and have two more years to prepare I suppose.
Any realistic humanitarian advice for the future?

Answer 1

Take the most difficult classes your school offers. It is a big deal for students to use the resources that are available to them. (If your school only has one AP class, for example, they don't fault you for that, but they want you to take it.)
It is better to be very involved in a few extracurricular activities that you are passionate about than ten clubs that you are only sort of involved in and pay dues for.
They want you to take initiative. Start something new or add a new dimension to an existing cause or club. Take a class at a local college through joint enrollment. Take the SAT several times to achieve a good score if you have a low one. Take an SAT prep class if you are not confident.
The bottom line is to differentiate yourself from other applicants. They get thousands of applications from people with good grades and scores who joined the honor society and the community service club at school. Go above and beyond. Community service is more important than having a part time job by the way.
The hardest thing about Harvard is getting in. Good luck! .

This stuff applies to getting in to any school really. Apply to more than one place! College is what you make of it. You can have a great experience at a lot of different places.

You can't go wrong with reading the classics of literature and philosophy. Math and Science competence will be needed in those fields as well. Study hard but also know when to rest. You have to learn to find that balance between pushing yourself and enjoying it. Please remember that its a marathon not a sprint and you wouldn't want to burn yourself out too soon.

ok properly purely act standard round him and dont get fearful try searching him up on myspace and facebook and be conscious what he likes try talking to him then purely tell him that you extremely like him and also you want to carry close him alot extra efficient because he seems extremely sweet. purely try searching at his additude and his outlook on each little thing that he does dont be stalkerish yet try staring at him. once you talk with him try flirting with him alot yet then try dropping tricks that you want him alot then per chance ask him out to snatch some espresso and talk
