<p>Northstarmom, I find it interesting that you think I’m a recruited athlete. I know my SATs are bad, but SATs don’t really mean that much and I think Harvard is making that same statement by accepting me. I think it is horrible that people will be ready to codemn someone for marginal SAT scores when they have a life of incredible accomplishment. Harvard accepted me, end of story. They must have liked something about me or I doubt they would have put me into the pile. Some people are simply not good test takers. Plus, I may have not scored well on the math SAT, but who cares if I can’t remember how to do simple geometry from the eighth grade when I can get a 5 on the AP Calculus exam. There are other aspects of my application that prove that my SAT scores don’t reveal negative aspects of my intelligence.</p>
<p>And I am absolutely NOT a recruited athlete. I doubt if I will even be good enough to walk on the team. I am hoping to run there, but other than my show of dedication and awards in running, my athleticism didn’t take much of a role in my acceptance. </p>
<p>And I was unsure about the business major because I originally wasn’t interested in business when I first applied. I have planned on majoring in History for some time, but some recent research on business careers had shifted my focus. I didn’t apply to the wrong school, I was just wondering. As you know, a good portion of undergrads change their majors anyways.</p>
<p>I’m not stupid or unqualified if that is what you are hinting out. And I mean no offense. That’s just the tone I picked up from your post. lol</p>
