1. Please tell me this is a joke.
2. Okay...please post serious questions
3. Get a life. This is not real. And it's not nice to make fun of students who might actually have mediocre grades/scores.
4. Fox....Of course you can. Apply yourself, get that GPA up and "sum day" it will happen. Your skills are superb I am almost certain Harvard has floors that will need mopped. Who knows maybe someday you will move to the scrub machines and then from there the sky is the limit. Don't ever give up. Keep us posted. Just simmer some of your excitement when guys come to your school.
5. welll, first of all, even if you had a 4.0GPA and a 2400 SAT scoter, there's a very high chance you wouldn't get in. Harvard is a good school, but it's not the only good school. A place like Yale for example, is a little more open to people with talents and skills, and volunteering, sports, etc. But, you'd need to raise your SAT to around 1800 for them to check you out seriously, unless of course your grades are sweet and you are super good at a talent. Ivy League schools are like kind of ridiculous really.. There's plenty of private and public universities just as good as them. Perhaps what you might want to look for are schools that don't take the SAT, or very liberal arts schools. Check out these two sites, they've helped me a lot: http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2540225 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-blind Anyway, you might be able to get into a sweet school like Middlebury perhaps, it's a very good school, and you don't have to submit SATs. But Harvard, I'd recommend just forgetting about it, I knew people with 2000 SATs and 4.0s and tons of extras who didn't make it there. try for another private school somewhere.
