Non athletes, non legacies, non directors list, non z list, non celebrity child, non billionaire child, non diversity and inclusion preference, non international, non employee related applicant has between 280 and 300 spots, per year, per gender.

There are 1.8 million USA based applicants in the national pool. Plus international. Plus gap year.

There are multitudes of applicants qualified to attend. It’s a numbers game.

My belief is that is nearly statistically impossible that anyone, regardless of demonstrated excellence, such as yourself, will be accepted.

Every year a few do. These anecdotes do not change the math.

I think you have an impressive profile, congratulations. I would simply say don’t get caught up in the hype and be realistic.

You have a lot of competition for the hundreds of other great schools and my one and only focus would be making sure I nail those to the best of my ability.

Thanks for the advice and sorry for taking so long.

I’ve made sure to try to distance myself from Harvard in the likely case that Im deferred, and already have made my applications for a couple other schools where I should have a much greater chance. I will try to fight for the spot in Harvard, especially in the interview, but Im trying to stay realistic and mellow about the whole thing.

Im also glad you found my profile impressive! Hopefully a university sees it the same way.
