I wasn’t expected to do anything lol, let alone apply to HARVARD! I went to a very modest primary school, and somehow managed to earn a scholarship to a prestigous private high school, at which I never received any valedictorian awards, such as Dux for instance. That added to the fact that we have never sent a student directly out of graduation to an Ivy, means that no one expected me to apply (barely anyone knows though), and being accepted would probably be more of a surprise than me returning to do Year 12 again!!! I am in Australia though, so it’s a bit different for me to you guys.
