How strong of an extracurric is this for premed at Ivies or top UCs?

<p>I hiked 1500 miles in 3 months from north cal to south cal via the pacific crest trail. Throughout the way, I monitored my weight and health information - I went from 210 lbs to 155 lbs, and I did it to raise money.
I wish to apply to Harvard and the other ivies - how good do you think this is?</p>

<p>Would this be “the jewel in the crown” for my extracurriculars?</p>

<p>your questions are all over the place. You’re a graduating senior, right? </p>

<p>:“You wish to apply to Harvard”</p>

<p>Haven’t you already applied to colleges and gotten decisions? In another thread you’re asking about Ivy MBAs – hunh?</p>

<p>Please clarify. Your walk is nice and can be a good essay subject but does it stand out? Who is to say? Harvard rejects 95% of people who hit the submit button.</p>

<p>ok</p>

<p>This is the title of your thread that I closed on the Admissions forum:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I read it as you already being a current UG and wanting to apply to Med School or an MBA, is that the case? Is this a HS or a college EC and are you talking about applying to UG or professional school?</p>

<p>Nothing can guarantee you admission to Harvard, or perhaps a donation of millions would, but still not 100%</p>
