<p>I wouldn’t worry about your rank - though I can’t speak for the YPS, I know Harvard really tries to separate a person from their quantitative metrics (provided you get past the baseline performance measures, which I feel fairly sure you do). While juicing up your extracurrics is an easy way to show your passion for life and what gets you up in the morning (which I strongly believe is what great colleges look for), extracurriculars have a tendency to get a tad cliche. Grab some awesome recommendations from people who know your character and go into the interview with the mentality that Harvard (and others) want you, but they just don’t know it yet. </p>
<p>Best of luck, and don’t worry too much about it. We all tend to end up where we belong.</p>
