<p>General Comments: woot woot</p>

<p>In order for this to be any different from the result threads in various colleges’ forums, we’d need people to post their essays, too, which I wouldn’t do.</p>

<p>^^I agree with ducttape completely. </p>

<p>The Revolution,</p>

<p>To be clear, I went to Harvard Extension the last 2 years of HS. It’s part of Harvard’s School of Continuing Education. Most all my courses were with Harvard faculty who taught the same classes during the day to Harvard College students. I also had a course or two with MIT emeritus (sp?) professors. It’s been great!</p>

<p>how did you get into that?</p>

<p>I applied to one of their degree progams and got accepted. It’s not that hard to get in. I won’t take the degree. I’ll go to D without a degree or a HS diploma.</p>

<p>Isn’t this basically the same as the “actual results” thread in the chances forum?</p>
