You cannot get a decent amount of sleep, the best grades, and all the extracurriculars. Or if you do, they’ll give you a Rhodes for it. The limitations of everywhere else in the universe apply here also. That said, I don’t think it’s hard to get a decent amount of sleep and very good grades and reasonable extracurriculars, which seems to be the norm among my friend group. Then there are the people who get decent amounts of sleep, decent grades, and do crazy amounts of extracurriculars, of whom I certainly know a lot. Then, of course, since this is Harvard, there are the people who don’t get enough sleep, but get the best grades and run “all” the extracurriculars.
