I will be taking the DSE again, I know my chances are slim yet Harvard is just one of my choices, of course I chose safer passages like Rice, Brown. Harvard is for my EA, so I’m just asking for advice. Meanwhile, despite my lack of competitiveness WHEN compared with students who are absolutely elite in all aspects. I’m not wasting my time if I know I tried, if Harvard does reject me, so be it. Thank you though. I still have essays to work on and I’ve talked to Harvard students who’ve shared their experiences, essays are crucial. My profile isn’t outstanding, but it doesn’t determine who one really is. Competitiveness isn’t backing down when I see people who are better than me yet can’t enter Harvard, it’s seeing such posts and still telling myself to follow my dreams and TRY to fulfill it. I thank you two deeply for sharing your insights.
