<p>Also my uncle is a proffessor at Harvard. Does this increase my chances???</p>

<p>uncle is professor??</p>
<p>hel yea it increases ur chances lol…</p>
<p>if your uncle is a professor I think you are in</p>
<p>Why would I definately get in because my uncle is a prof ??? Do relatives of employees get preference or would he be pulling a few strings???</p>
<p>dude, ur from afica…you’re in.</p>
<p>Does Harvard have some kind of quota’s regarding students from different countries? Also, how hard is it to get a visa to study in the states?</p>
<p>it’s just the fact that ucomes from “Africa” and have an uncle that knows nuclear physics makes uthe most unique person on earth.</p>
<p>bump… how hard is it to get a visa to study in the states???</p>

<p>i’m not familiar with the visa process since i’m a native born american… why don’t you try asking on the international students forum: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=475[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/forumdisplay.php?f=475</a></p>
<p>Also…
Given my background, are there any other good american schools that I should be applying to??</p>
