So now we are making assumptions, huh? All the advice I share with students is absolutely free, and it has been this way for over 15 years. I even offer free advice on CC to students I don’t know. And yes, students all over the country get advice on filling out their college applications, many without the aid of personal assistance; that is, there are a number of books and online sources on the subject. (I even wrote a 29 page elite college admissions guide that I give out free to students in my area.) Very few students try to traverse elite college admissions without some type of guidance. It’s just that my students don’t pay!

Anyhow, why did u guys go apoplectic over my argument that the HPB award is a “Regional Award” in the first place? I don’t understand your angst. Why do you feel you have to win this argument with me? After all, none of you are admissions officers or college admissions counselors, right?

braniac, forgive me for triggering this meaningless debate on your thread. List and explain the details of your HPB award as an academic honor (regional if it applies) on your Common App, resume, and on any application you fill-out for an award, honor or scholarship. And congratulations on receiving this award since it is more significant than some of the school awards you have or will receive. However, regarding the one thing we all agree on, understand that the HPB will not by itself get you into Harvard. Best wishes!
