I’m a freshman too and OmgHarvard’s report is pretty spot on! (Especially the 2 AM weeknights. I can’t believe I used to go to bed at 11 in high school.)
Also, just want to throw it out there that several of my friends used College Confidential as high schoolers and we all agreed that some of the crazy stats made us feel very inadequate! So if you’re a potential applicant who is daunted by the amazing students on here who are also applying, please don’t be! Everyone here has their own strengths to offer the college, and those strengths aren’t necessarily a bazillion AP classes and perfect SAT scores
