<p>Just curious, but did you lose to same person multiple times? Anyway, looks like you have good chances, but after a certain point, Harvard is unpredictable. Good luck!</p>

<p>Oh wow did I meet you at ISEF? …maybe not. Your research credentials are pro, as is your AP record. And Brain Bee. And debate.</p>

<p>You’ll probably get into nearly all of those schools, so I suggest you make a choice between H and S. The others are good but…H and S are better.</p>

<p>hope to see you all in Harvard :)</p>
