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

<p>I low-balled the cost of admission by a factor of 2.5 and overestimated the number of students by 30.</p>

<p>The Crimson says the Harvard Z-list is from 50-70 students per year (deferred admission to rich students, alumni children). The first chapter of WSJ reporter (and Pulitzer Prize winner) Dan Golden’s book “The Price of Admission” is about COUR at Harvard and the approximate cost of buying your way into Harvard. He cites $2.5 million and up as rough guess and notes that the Harvard acceptance rate of COUR members’ children is about 40%, or nearly 6 times the published average.</p>
