Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2019 Applicants Thread

<p>@calliemoon11 It’s an EXCELLENT movie</p>

<p>@AuTurtle Do all school profiles show the average SAT score? If not, do you think colleges utilize other ways to search for it? I want highlight my score because it’s more than 700+ above the average. I don’t think that it shows on my school profile, but this information is available online by the Massachusetts Department of Education.</p>

<p>@Zerowulf yeah…I’m not even the best student applying to Harvard SCEA from my school…luckily the guy i really have to worry about is applying RD haha</p>

<p>Ahh I love this thread I thought you guys would be like the other corners of CC full of judgemental elite… But you guys are totally awesome. And may the odds ever be in our favor!</p>

<p>@Jessdilla2015 that’s good to hear :smiley: best of luck to you as well…I know you said earlier your application was a YOLO-type impulse, but Harvard is really a crapshoot…The only way you can guarantee rejection from Harvard is by not applying (as long as you’re within reason of course haha)</p>

<p>Have you guys already submitted all your regular actions apps? Or are you waiting until we hear back from Harvard</p>

<p>@collegeapps2k14‌ I haven’t seen (500) Days of Summer! My to-watch list is growing.</p>

<p>@mnrepresent‌ I sent two regular apps just to ease my Harvard anxiety. I’ve finished the rest so that if deferred/rejected, I can ship them all off on December 12th to take my mind off of the disappointment and despair! </p>

<p>@mnrepresent You think I have even started them? </p>

<p>@mnrepresent I’ve submitted all my schools because I don’t like putting things off, unlike some of my friends who have yet to take the SAT :-S </p>

<p>@mnrepresent I’ve submitted most of them! But the ones with long or difficult writing supplements, I’m waiting for a Harvard rejection before I put in all the effort!</p>

<p>@mnrepresent all 9 rd apps to go :(</p>

<p>By the time decisions come out, I should only have 2 RD apps left to finish. Kudos to those already finished!</p>

<p>@calliemoon11‌ from what I can glean off these posts, I think you will like it! Unconventional story about love shown in a non-linear sequence with probably the best soundtrack EVER! Plus all the actors are my favs :)</p>

<p>Done with the state safeties. Just waiting for H before I start up with other reaches/matches. Honestly, I’ll probably just go with Rutgers if Harvard doesn’t happen because I can’t bear the idea of forking over 250k for an undergrad degree. </p>

<p>Interesting to see the different approaches. For me, I submitted all of them already as I know that I would not be able to muster up the motivation to work on them after a Harvard deferral/rejection</p>

<p>@collegeapps2k14‌ That does sound right up my alley! Awesome!</p>

<p>@jalebigirl‌ Oh my God, I LOVE your icon.</p>

<p>@calliemoon11 Great minds think alike lol. I have a document (affectionately named D-Day) of CC posts, news articles, and other resources that list all the bad aspects of Harvard and all the great things about the other schools I’m applying to. Hopefully convincing myself that Harvard was never a good fit in the first place will be the best way to gracefully handle deferral. It also helps that there’s such a large community of internet people bitter about Harvard - there’s a lot of material to fall back on lol.</p>

<p>Does anyone know the record for the longest thread on CC? I sense that we’ll hit 200+ pages by the end!</p>

<p>@thingenthusiast‌ That. Is. Brilliant. My all-time favorite post on last year’s thread was from D-Day, and someone was asking what everyone else was doing to pass the time. @charlesthecactus‌ replied, “I’m watching The Social Network to convince myself I don’t want to go there, anyway.”</p>

<p>@thingenthusiast‌ Oh my god I’ll need that :frowning: LOL I’m becoming desperate. I’m scrolling through the MIT Admissions blog posts though (they’re worth a read! I promise…) and they give me a tiiiiny bit of hope.</p>

<p>ack I’ve been lurking around this thread since forever but first time posting today! currently trying to distract myself with kdramas :)</p>
