<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>may sound stupid but it is quite important for me to compare chances and so on.
Are here any Harvardians , or people who got admitted this year, and could share their academical and EC profiles,honors, SAT scores ?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>Plenty of admitted (and rejected) students post their stats on various “results” threads here and on other colleges’ fora. Here’s the most recent:

<p>Do a search for more.</p>
<p>OP: you want to be a little careful about comparing your stats and background to someone else’s (whether accepted or rejected). If you have stats and background very similar to an accepted student, then Harvard probably doesn’t need another clone of that person and is likely to reject you. On the other hand, if you look a lot like someone already deferred or rejected, that should tell you not that you are likely to similarly deferred or rejected, but that your “twist” should be different. I think the worst case is if you look a lot like those accepted – Harvard is looking for a different look at this point than what it already has.</p>
<p>^This is not correct about what is the worst case. Harvard is not looking for clones, but if a “type” is often successful, it’s not going to be magically less so RD. As common sense would tell you, the worst is to be similar to the students who were rejected. Since they reject so few students early, this would be more when comparing yourself to students from previous years than to the SCEA results.</p>
