At the only official Harvard admissions information session I have ever attended, a regional information session in the 2003-2004 school year, the Harvard admissions officer specifically said that successful Harvard applicants can be either “well-rounded” or “well-lopsided.” I like that turn of phrase, and have seen it since on Harvard Web pages.

Just be yourself. Apply if you are interested in the school–you can’t get in if you don’t apply–but don’t try to remake yourself for any school.

Good luck in your applications.
