Harvard, Early Chances

Colleges & Universities Harvard University
1

<p>Hello, I am a freshman at a recently established prepatory school ( it was only founded around 10-13 years ago). Despite being so young, it is still rising in the ranks pretty fast, and hopefully racking up prestige. Its still missing some of the extras that make an elite prep school an elite prep school, but it has potential.</p>

<p>On another note, a little bit about myself and my possible hook-</p>

<p>I am 15, and have had a lot trouble surrounding my early and mid-elementary education. I have been diagnosed with ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and am on no medication. The dyslexia at the time was said to be severe. </p>

<p>My parents had to fight the board of education early on to provide me with resources and appropriate school at the time to suit my need. Currently I am mainstreamed and I was also valedictorian of my middle school.</p>

<p>I can also read at a college to above college grade level. </p>

<p>Now onto what I plan to do and am doing.</p>

<p>I plan to continue to keep my GPA # 1 in my class. </p>

<p>I plan on taking AP courses particulary in the sciences. Including AP Physics, Earth science, psychology and biology</p>

<p>The clubs I am joining, and the extracurriculars are-</p>

<p>Debate Club ( I know right, I plan on being a motivating force behind turning this into a debate team)
Science Club
School Newspaper
Community Services
Track</p>

<p>I am planning on also founding a student body government. Do these all seem to scattered or interconnected enough? I also plan on establishing a science olympiad team</p>

<p>Outside of school-
Piano (possibly planning on entering competition doing rectials)
Studying chinese and buddhism
Labratory internship in junior and senior year (hopefully if there is such a thing)</p>

<p>Competitions I am planning on enter-</p>

<p>Intel STS research project</p>

<p>Submitting to scholastic awards every year, and other similar awards. Trying to get my writing published.</p>

<p>I planning on majoring in both Psychology and Physics, because I plan on doing research in both fields and perhaps integrating them.</p>

<p>Oh, and I am a little white boy, and my parents are middle to lower middle class.</p>

<p>First of all, overuse of the words “elite” and “prestige” aren’t going to win you any friends here. </p>

<p>Second of all, chance you to Harvard? Early? Are you serious? </p>

<p>Third of all, why would you divulge your private medical condition? It is widely believed on CC that such conditions are neither a hook nor an advantage. </p>

<p>Fourth of all, speculation is dangerous and unhelpful. Also, confidence is good but don’t expect everything to turn out according to your plans. </p>

<p>Fifth of all, don’t overreach. Intel STS is a highly competitive competition and the best minds in the country compete. </p>

<p>Sixth of all, we can’t say anything until we get scores, final stats. Come back late junior year or something.</p>

<p>Seventh of all, the next time you make a thread, you’ll serve yourself better by modifying your tone a little. </p>

<p>0 percent chance to Harvard ATM as Harvard requires standardized scores for admissions.</p>
