Getting back to the OP: How do you know the Harvard is a good fit for you when “if you get into Harvard, you go”? I have two good friends who graduated from Harvard who felt that it wasn’t a good place for them and that my daughter should not apply. They were unable however to answer the question “why didn’t you tranfer?” The admissions committee must spend a larger portion of their time figuring out why applicants apply than committees at other colleges.
