I admire your ambition but am concerned that as a teenager you think your life’s success/happiness rests entirely on going to Harvard.

Can you articulate objectively WHY it has to be Harvard, vs. some other good school? If you don’t get into Harvard, then what?

If you always set such narrow definitions for success, you face a high likelihood of being disappointed in life.
