Much appreciation for the reviews, guys! And for the record: the only reason I emphasized upon the fact that my writing ability is “excellent” is because you guys don’t know me, nor have you “seen” my essays, haha. Obviously, I was far more humble and less arrogant within my actual application. But the only way I could have enlightened you guys to the quality of my essays was to say that they were “excellent and perfect,” because in my opinion they were. But I did not say the same to the admissions committee, haha, don’t worry!
As for the the 4/5 letters of recommendations, they all gave pretty different points of views! My letters and essays are really my points of strengths and if there is any chance of acceptance, it will be because of my emphasized “passion” and attitude displayed in my application. And to be accurate, Harvard does in fact deny 36 ACTs and 4.0 GPAs, but the reason they do that is because these students are “bookworms” and they have nothing special or distinct; they have no specific passion or endeavors on which they could emphasize upon. And that is the same reason why if you look through the Harvard College acceptances, you will find 29 ACTs and 30s.
