| wow, that's a very impressive resume. First of all, I'm just going to say it: admissions to ivy league schools is not a crap shoot. No matter how much people would like to believe that, it's just not.
I spent the most time on my harvard application and I think it really showed. I actually submitted my harvard, stanford, and rice applications in at the same time (i.e. with same quality essays, etc.) However, I submitted my Yale and Princeton application in early because of a program I was affiliated with early in the year. Those applications were nowhere close to the caliber of my later applications.
Case in point, college applications depend on how well you sell yourself to each university. Maybe Harvard wasn't her top choice and she didn't feel like dedicating the a lot of time to that application. Different schools require different essays or supplements so maybe, she just decided that harvard was not as important as princeton or some other ivy league schools.
Remember, you need to learn how to sell yourself. EC's and stats are only the bricks of your application. It's up to you to lay the foundation and build your way up. Sorry if that was too corny lol... |
