Do I have any chance of Harvard if I NEVER receive ANY kind of National/ State award?

<p>Hey, take it easy, really.</p>

<p>You and I were probably in the same shoes: decently smart Asian (although no genius), who was decent at school, sports, etc, etc, but has no real distinguishing point.</p>

<p>After years of reading this form, I almost gave up on applying to Harvard, Yale, etc. Getting deferred EA (later rejected) from Stanford didn’t help either. Anyways, I was eventually accepted at Harvard, Pton, Wharton (rejected MIT, Yale, Stanford; Waitlisted Columbia College), and will be attending Harvard this fall.</p>

<p>Take it easy. Theres a thread on how to get into Harvard thats really good on the top of the forum. If you got any questions, feel free to PM me.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
