      @@nartrof90 yeah it's legit a wild card for all these top schools and that's why it's not uncommon for people to apply to all of them so that they have more lottery tickets. I'm probably going to have a STACKED transcript by the end of high school and I still don't think I'll get into some of those schools. This just goes to show how fricking competitive and random they are.

      That can be to your benefit, though. My school didn't offer many APs so I only ended up taking 4... still got into MIT. If I had went to a more rigorous school, I might not have gotten in because I doubt I would have had the time to devote to the extracurricular activities that I pursued.... and I'm not a fan of learning through lectures; I much prefer hands on learning. Ultimately, make the best out of your situation.

      Who knows!? One thing I can think of is that sometimes extraordinary candidates, such as Eva, are also at risk of marring cross-admit rates among highly prestigious schools. Harvard admissions probably took into account her dedication for Physics, a dedication seemingly paramount against her other activities. And of course, Harvard's specialty is rooted in a superb liberal arts program. She might just be to quantitative for them and hell that's a good thing - she's wicked smart!

    Hey, Eva! I really hope you can read this.
    So, first of all, WTF, you should have gotten into Harvard! Omg, are those guys crazy or what? YOU ARE AMAZING.
    It's December 12th as I'm writing this and I am sorry if my English has some not so right stuff, but I am from Portugal, Europe.
    I am in Sophomore year of High School. Here in Portugal we are able to choose a specific curriculum area to study, almost like in College except that it covers more diversity of studies. I'm in Languages & Humanities course, which means I have Portuguese/English/History/Geography/German/P.E./Philosophy. I hear you and thank you so much for the great advice (I really admire you, btw! I trully do. I am an excellent student, but you... GIRL) anyway, thank you so much. I know what I'm passionate about, I know what I want to do for the rest of my life, I know what I love and I'm good at above all. - Criminal Psichology! Forensic Science! Psichology in general!
    I really really love those things, my problem is: there are no resources and options for me to go deeper on those areas, on studying them, on bringing my knowledge and investment on them to the next level, as you said. We only have that opportunity in College, there are not any kind of activities, extracurriculars, contests, summer programs on that kind of stuff and that really makes me feel down and bad, it takes my motivation away, because I know that that's what Ivy League colleges are looking for, specially Harvard (my choice n.1) and I don't know what to do...
    Anyway, I don't really know if you have any kind of personal advice for me abt this, I hope you do because, as I said, I really look up to you and I think you're great.
    Thank you.
