How to Get into Harvard College?

<p>@theanaconda: Your post reminds me of a comment Jeffrey Brenzel over at Yale has made</p>

After years of experience, however, here is what I know, virtually to the point of certainty: almost nothing depends on exactly which strong college admits you. Everything depends on what you decide to do once you get to a strong college, and how well prepared you are to take advantage of the infinite opportunities you will find there.

<p>Although it’s difficult to see the big picture when you’re applying to college, remember Jeffrey Brenzel’s observation. It doesn’t matter where you go to school, it matters what you do when you get there. Many successful people are Harvard rejects and it didn’t stop them from doing great things. It shouldn’t stop you either. Best of luck to you! </p>
