Harvard 2015 Hopefuls

<p>

</p>

<p>Nine: University of Illinois (accepted EA), Yale (deferred EA), Harvard, Columbia, Brown, Princeton, Virginia, Chicago, and Stanford.</p>

<p>GL Silverturtle :), we have 3 schools overlap</p>

<p>^ Good luck to you as well.</p>

<p>Good luck, silverturtle. You deserve it since you’ve been so helpful on CC haha :slight_smile: we have 2 schools in common</p>

<p>Hey guys I have a question. For you guys who took the ACT, what is the best prep book?</p>

<p>^Peterson’s official</p>

<p>Wow, silverturtle, you and I have seven schools in common. o__0 LOL. But I guess because they’re all good schools that’s to be expected. Good luck!</p>

<p>Haha silverturtle we have 6.</p>

<p>Well. That added a lot to this thread…</p>

<p>Just submitted my application to Harvard (both common application and supplement) .</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone. I’m expecting a rejection but…</p>

<p>at least I can later tell my children that I once applied to the No.1 college in the world!</p>

<p>Hey, I am sure that it is me that is not sure of this but how can you be accepted to U illinois EA silver? I thought that if you applied to Y EA you could not apply anywhere else EA?</p>

<p>Isn’t Yale SCEA (Single choice)?</p>

<p>^ Yale allows you to apply to an in-state public school early.</p>

<p>I should be done with my Harvard app today (just submitted my WashU app). It’s ridiculous how my better my RD applications look. I probably shouldn’t have applied to Yale early (or at least not have procrastinated as much).</p>

<p>^ ah thanks. Was 99% sure that silver would not have stuffed up.</p>

<p>Comparing with other colleges’ supplements, Harvard has one of the easiest.</p>

<p>^ Especially for Yale SCEAers.</p>

<p>I didn’t understand what does that “Immediately” on their website mean… So I should submit my commonapp now (with essay and short answer left blank(?)) and send in them later? And I can only send in essays later via mail or is there a email address?</p>

<p>@ Jersey13: Which explains the significant overlap between Harvard’s and Yale’s applicants… :)</p>

<p>I have a feeling the overlap has more to it than convenience… ;)</p>

<p>@InkHua: Send it in whenever you’re ready before or on January 1st. You should not send essays separately unless you have a good reason, like a technical error occurred and your essays disappeared or something.</p>

<p>^Yes, you can’t change anything on your Common App after you submit it. If you made a mistake or something went wrong, you have to address it separately, which is a pain.</p>

<p>Harvard’s app is SO good this year. I like how the second essay is optional. I might do it if I have time. Does anyone know if most people who apply to Harvard write the second essay? (I mean both accepted students and rejected ones)</p>

<p>I have to write 5 essays for Brown, because I’m applying to PLME. -sigh-</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree. My brother had to deal with that kind of thing in a complicated manner. </p>

<p>As for the Harvard essay, I suggest doing it, even if it means submitting an essay you wrote for another college. </p>

<p>Sorry for the PLME essays. I’m glad I am only applying for Brown college.</p>
