<p>see, i’d read that they would begin evaluating applications on december 1st (in the order in which they were completed) so i tried to get everything in as close to that date as i could… but i ended up submitting my supplement during the last week of december
still fairly early, i know, so i guess it helped some</p>
<p>i’ve actually used CC throughout my college application process… but just reading through the forums
i knew i’d probably spend more time talking about applying to college than actually applying to college if i made an account lol</p>
<p>here’s an overview of me (it’s funny because my friend was telling me in english class, “dude, you know you probably got in by doing the absolute bare minimum”… i think he’s right)</p>
<p>GPA 3.84
SAT CR 800, Math 710, Writing 730
ACT 32
World History 770
Bio 760
US Hist 750

National Merit Semifinalist- scored 222 (ineligible to become finalist due to residency issues)</p>
<p>subjective:
club soccer- 4 years
varsity soccer- 4 years
track- 3 years
mock trial- 3 years
journalism editor- 2 years
amateur filmmaker- have gone to state competitions
also, i’m trying to start up a pool of resources and film a documentary for/about undocumented students… this is my biggest EC right now</p>
<p>i did pursue amateur boxing in mexico for 3 years before coming to the states at 12 (i’ve taken up boxing again these last 2 years)</p>
<p>so… you should understand my legal position…</p>
<p>i applied undeclared
I’m taking calculus AB (i was rejected from the BC class :[), ap english lit, gov/econ, physics, and logic</p>
<p>I go to a fairly competitive public school- california academy of math and science (ranked 20-something by us news and world)</p>
<p>You know what just kind of hit me? I have my interview next week, in the evening of the last day of the first semester at my school. After that interview, I’ll completely lose my ability to either improve or worsen my chances for H admission. I don’t know whether to be freaking out (in a bad way) or actually exhaling for the first time in a long while.</p>
<p>Awesome video there dude. Greatly edited, beautiful music rather perfect choice; I liked those texts below the screen. Tremendous personal story.</p>
<p>Congo once again (hope you don’t slack off).</p>
<p>Nope. I have a Harvard interview in a week, though :\ nervous! My interviewer has an M.D. and is a prof.</p>
<p>EDIT: Actually, I did hear back from a Canadian university (I’m Canadian-applying to the U.S. means that I’m international lol). I got early acceptance (: it’s one of the top schools in Canada!</p>
<p>my interviewer was similar to yours… he owned me a couple of times during the interview
him: “…and that’s what i think would happen if latin american had developed the corporate business model prior to colonization.”
silence…
me: “sorry what are you asking?”
him: “nothing i was playing with this idea i was wondering if you had anything to contribute…”
me:“…” <em>tears up and leaves room sobbing</em></p>
<p>ah I’ve tried to send an email asking if one of my ACT tests can be deleted because I sent it sophomore year and didn’t know what I was doing, but I haven’t gotten any response. Oh well at least the score is decent. The main problem is that I didn’t list the date on my CommonApp.</p>
<p>well their supplement did read to submit anything else you would like to be considered as part of your application… although i did at first fear that i might be sending too much meaningless, distracting crap</p>
<p>but in hindsight (and with the benefit of security now… hehe) i think many of these things are largely inconsequential (like nne718’s ACT test dates)</p>
<p>sigh dario even though they won’t see this and automatically put me in the reject pile, I’m probably that much closer to not making it. You know you are safe now with your likely (congrats btw) but I do feel like I might have just given them that extra bit to say no. </p>
<p>Yeah I know it’s useless to talk about this but it helps me relieve some stress lol X).</p>
<p>Congratulations to those with likely letters - they are truly a testament to how hard you have worked, academically or otherwise.</p>
<p>I encourage those admitted to go join the Harvard 2015 facebook group… There are already a bunch of us (z-listed applicants like myself, as well as those who deferred admission by their own volition).</p>
<p>Ok, so I had my interview this morning. It went very well. But I feel like I did NOT convey that Harvard is my first choice (which it definitely is). Is that a problem?</p>
<p>For a father, you sure have a weird taste in screen names and seem to be rather brash no? Like this reply to the mother of a son addicted to meth?</p>
