One though you should try to realize is that Harvard is a big place. From your post, it sounds like you’re prepared academically to do well, period. However, if you’re asking whether or not you’ll be one of the top students in the Harvard math/science department…well, if you have to ask, then probably not. This isn’t too discourage you, but one of the major adjustments of coming to Harvard is that chances are, you’re not going to be the top scorer on the difficult math test, but you’re going to do fine in the math class even so.
