<p>Does Harvard mainly have those you know “genius” -types…or more of those super studying people?</p>
<p>Two students accepted at my school by Harvard this year: one is a genius, the other studies a lot (but still very smart guy). Last year, the one who was accepted was a genius; I guess it’s a mixed bag in my experience.</p>
<p>Hey audioslave, (haha b/c Tommy Morello went to Harvard) are we talking genius types as in read it once and get it all people or like people who just naturally comprehend things quicker…if thath makes any sense</p>
<p>If I went to harvard, I’d want to be surrounded by geniuses, not just super hard-workers.</p>
<p>Genius types who read it once and get it all. For instance, one senior I know studied AP Physics B when he was in elementary school…</p>
<p>This same senior also knew Calculus during elementary school…</p>
<p>At the same time, there’s another senior I know this year at my school who comprehends things quicker, but isn’t a “genius” like the other senior. Each student has different qualities and some at Harvard, definitely have genius-level IQs…</p>
<p>It is a mix…and there are plenty of Harvard students whose area of genius isn’t academic.</p>
<p>Following last year’s undefeated season, Harvard’s spring game will be televised by ESPN on Saturday!</p>
<p>"The spring season will culminate April 30 in the annual Crimson-White Spring Football Game, which will be televised live on ESPNU. Aside from the obvious exposure that Harvard will receive from the broadcast, Coach Tim Murphy was quick to note another benefit from the appearance on national television.</p>
<p>“Our spring game is very important to us in terms of evaluating who will be playing for us in the fall,” said Murphy. “With it being on national television this year, I think our guys might be a little more motivated to show us what they can do.”</p>

<p>Harvard has beaten Yale 4 straight years, and Princeton 9 straight years.</p>
<p>Wow: Nov 20, 2004 - v. YALE [W; 35-3] 30308 attended</p>
<p>Columbia didn’t even score. Darthmouth put up a good fight (H win 13-12), as did Brown (H Win, 35 to 34).</p>

<p>Haha. Artpad is an awesome creation.</p>
<p>3 accepted by Harvard this year.</p>
<p>2 are hard workers, 1’s a genius.</p>
<p>Can’t we be in between?</p>
<p>I don’t consider myself a genius, but by working harder than other kids I find that I have been able to comprehend quicker than them…</p>
<p>how do you define “genius?”</p>
<p>People get who things really quickly. Those that master material with minimal studying.</p>
<p>really now. okay, I hate to do this, but I find that I cannot control myself. There’s this kid, he’s a desi(desi means indian right?), and he’s a totally ***<em>ed up swine. He brags about not studying and getting good marks, but tries to maintain a miniscule air of modesty at the same time. That of course doesn’t work and serves only to aid his incessant bragging (of which I am certain is his intention). So some people, I repeat “some” people think he’s so smart, so they’re always like ___<strong><em>this, _</em></strong>___that, you know? He doesn’t have any ec’s, so he basically has no life outside of school and academics. His personality is the gutters and he’s definately not a genius. I mean, he’s not stupid or anything, but to say he’s above the rest of us is a lie. I hate it when people assume someone is smart based on stereotypes about hackneyed indian kids. He’s math contest score was barely in the top 25%, so how can he be gifted let alone a genius. Can anyone else here relate to me? *sigh</em> I’m going to regret posting this later. 
Meh.</p>
<p>I would think that Harvard is more of a genius-type school, more so than a hard-working-person type school. I’m not saying they aren’t hard working, of course :)</p>
<p>But, they are geniuses because they can handle the rigorous courseloads at Harvard and still manage to have (at least) some type of a social life 
(Without drowning in their own sweat!)</p>
<p>Defining Genius:
From dictionary.com:
a. Extraordinary intellectual and creative power.
b. A person of extraordinary intellect and talent: One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius (Simone de Beauvoir).
c. A person who has an exceptionally high intelligence quotient, typically above 140.</p>
<p>ok… please stop freaking me out… getting in is already hard enough. i don’t want to make the good news seem like a bad one - gonna do horribly in each and every course.</p>
<p>I think its mainly the hardworkers who make it in. Not to say they aren’t intelligent either, but I doubt there are very many people who get in without working very hard at it.</p>
<p>However, in the category of hardworkers(in general, not just Harvard kids), there is another subdivision, those who admit that they study, and those who claim that they don’t study and it “comes naturally” - mostly to fit in I guess. So thats why you see some people who are supposedly “geniuses” and others who are “hardworkers” :p. Just my 2 cents.</p>
<p>edit: That is NOT to say there aren’t geniuses at Harvard or whatever. Its just that some hardworkers like to pretend that they don’t work hard just to fit in :). I know a couple of my good friends who do a good 5 or 6 hours of homework a night, but claim to other people that they only spend 30 minutes a night :-/.</p>
