Colleges & Universities Harvard University

<p>So many on college confidential have perfect or near-perfect scores and some have won international awards/scholarships. It makes me feel so… average. I feel like I won’t stand out in a pool of applicants and my chances are lowered. I’m also an international applicant, which doesn’t help things. </p>

<p>Who else out there is average?</p>

<p>I just get so discouraged sometimes :(</p>

<p>“My mother used to say that average people are the most special people in the world, that’s why god made so many.”</p>

<p>Im sure people are average… but you need to define average. You posted this on a Harvard thread… average for many Ivy League students is not average for others…</p>

<p>Ivy League students are beyond average. There wouldn’t be Ivy League students if they were average. You should go to another forum. </p>

<p>Too much elitists here.</p>

<p>The hardest part of being here is seeing all the people’s stats and thinking, “I wonder what they’re like in real life.” You really never know. They’re impressive on the site as it is, and treat it like it’s nothing. But even someone with my average stats is able to impress peers. So people with Harvard stats must others want to sing and dance.</p>
