Last year I was a finalist in the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Student Essay Contest, and I won $100. It was a regional competition, open to Economics students from 6-7 states in the Midwest (the district area). There were 20 finalists in the “advanced” (including me).

Is this essay worth sending in to Harvard? I’m not sure if it qualifies for “unusually advanced” work. Would it hurt if I sent it in and it wasn’t “unusually advanced?” My Econ teacher said it was college level work but i’m not sure if that translates to “harvard level work”

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks.
