No matter what we try to say, there will always be those people who try everything in their powers in order to discover the “magic key” into Harvard or MIT or Yale or wherever. They will always believe that there is such a thing: a SAT score above some point, a certain award etc.</p>
<p>My favorite question on this board is:
“what competitions should I enter (anbd win) to get in?” </p>
