Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@smollhuman YOU’RE GONNA GET IN SHUSH UP

@smollhuman lol haha saaammmeeee…

ALL OF YA’LL WITH LIKE A BEAUTIFUL SAT AND GPA SHUSH UP RN!!!

@schroscat I just realized that that post sounded WAY more negative than I intended, but I mean it not in a bad way or anything!

@smollhuman I know! But idk…all of you guys are freaking out yet all your stats line up.

Darn I was hoping that would help my chances…

@schroscat there are soooo many factors besides stats :((( I’m worried I sound too serious in my essays hahaha and also that I haven’t discovered viable nuclear fission

@smollhuman THE ONLY THING I’VE DONE IS WON FIRST PLACE AT A SPEECH TOURNAMENT BECAUSE I TALKED ABOUT MURDERING MY BROTHER

…I did OI. I did not murder MY brother.

How much do you guys think additional recommendations count for in admissions?

@LymanZerga All of our teachers are going to say something nice, so I don’t think a lot.

@schroscat from the stories you tell they’ll probably accept you on the basis of Residential Shaman. Then u can bless all of us like Madonna. U can fly around in ur white robes murmuring “bless. bless. bless” as our faces upturn to your softly glowing visage. tear-streaked and shining. U will b Big H Popess.

@smollhuman “Residential Shaman”
I like it.
Can I have a wool cloak? It fits my aesthetic. I’ll bless you all with tears from the fountain of my camera.

@schroscat What about the outside recommenders? Like notable alumni?

@schroscat Ohhh, okay thanks!!

guess I’ll be furiously updating my phone while at work… :wink:

@KShah16 so glad im not the only one. Since last night ive had the worst nausea from all the anxiety im gonna barf out all my intestines by 5pm thursday.

@LymanZerga I’m sure they all play a factor. Remember, they look at the application as a whole.

Kind of unrelated but are any of you guys applying to Dartmouth?

@schroscat for some reason I’ve been having this mental image all day. All day. I slept none last nite. I was dreamin awake. Next day at school i was in a new dimension, v v v v tired, v v v coffeenated, v v v peaceful. strangely, @heart. i m a v smoll human, n i smiled at the yung n old, @ the meek n strong, i said “bless. bless. bless.” N it was v good.

Anybody here watch the show broadchurch?
