but fr are the number of chinese people in birmingham in like the double digits or something for you to have guessed immediately

sharp lava
#

I’m also in math team myself and did arml with her

ashen carbon
#

dang

sharp lava
#

I’m far from cracked tho 😭

ashen carbon
#

kind of wish i'd stayed in math team just to do arml

#

arml sounds so fun

sharp lava
#

I found other things I enjoyed more after middle school

vital wharf
#

can you get into harvard while being very mediocre at a sport

#

should i even apply

ashen carbon
sharp lava
ashen carbon
#

also quit varsity lax in sophomore year

#

if you don't highlight it they basically won't consider it

vital wharf
#

but on their rating system the only ppl that get in r basically those will three ratings of 2-/2/2+ or a rating of 1 w/ solid ratings in other categories

#

so either u need to be an amazing writer or athlete or get a 1?

sharp lava
#

sports isn’t a category tho

obtuse pine
#

I believe they specifically make clear sports can only help

vital wharf
obtuse pine
#

It’s the only category where a bad rating won’t drag you down

sharp lava
ashen carbon
sharp lava
#

But I wouldn’t sweat it if you have something else that stands out more than ur sport @vital wharf

pulsar pond
#

guys

#

we are less than 100 messages short from UPenn

vital wharf
#

gotchu also how hard is it to get a 1 in a category

pulsar pond
#

very

#

I reckon a full IB score and 1600 SAT would probably only get you a 2-

vital wharf
#

it looks like the easiest category (one least affected by probability at least) is academics cuz someone can just study 24/7 and become IMO gold (hypothetically)

minor pecan
vital wharf
#

so what differentiates a 1 and a 2

pulsar pond
errant phoenix
#

ummm

craggy garnet
#

varsity?

#

no way

errant phoenix
#

yeah no way

vital wharf
#

cuz if a 1500+ and 3.9+ are enough for a 2 (?) then the 2 in academics doesnt rlly mean much?

#

cuz everyone has that

viscid pike
errant phoenix
#

i manage my varsity swim team and i have 3 freshmen first time swimmers swimming <27 second 50 free.

ashen carbon
#

the academic originality means you could have none of this but if you write like a really good essay and get good recs from both teachers you could have a 1

viscid pike
#

bet

sharp lava
#

Wait so sports is a category?? 😵‍💫 what if I don’t play a sport

viscid pike
vital wharf
#

what about someone who got usabo camp or something similar would that be a 1 (or a 1- even?)

ashen carbon
errant phoenix
#

actually i think they're <28

ashen carbon
#

you're right

craggy garnet
#

def not first time swimmers

errant phoenix
#

and one who does a little club

viscid pike
viscid pike
#

high school swimming is kind of a joke

errant phoenix
#

it totally is

ashen carbon
#

yeah

viscid pike
#

youll get a few rly good club swimmers

#

and the rest r having fun which is valid

ashen carbon
#

i did it bc two sports

errant phoenix
#

my friend has like a 55s 100 back

#

its insane

ashen carbon
#

then when i quit lax i was like

#

i don't think i should quit my other sport

viscid pike
#

sports r fun dont quit

ashen carbon
#

nah bc we qualified for ftc mti

#

so i quit lax to do robotics

vital wharf
ashen carbon
#

also

vital wharf
#

it seems like the most common camp among harvard students

ashen carbon
#

it's LAX

errant phoenix
#

cuz USABO is studyable

ashen carbon
#

who enjoys lacrosse

errant phoenix
#

i heard like u can j memorize everything

ashen carbon
#

but you can also memorize everything for usamo

#

it's just slightly more brain-involved

errant phoenix
#

usamo is more application

ashen carbon
#

nah

#

not difficult application

#

proofs are practice

#

qualifying for usamo is memorization

errant phoenix
#

oh well

#

its too late for me anyways

vital wharf
#

but lots of usamo kids get rejected from harvard right?

ashen carbon
#

yes

#

because they don't know why they do math

errant phoenix
#

ya colleges want passion as much as skill

pulsar pond
#

perhaps they're just over confident pricks who think USABO on its own is going to get them to Harvard

ashen carbon
#

which is why a non-aime qualifier can get into mit applying with math

errant phoenix
#

who??

ashen carbon
#

kid from my school

errant phoenix
#

bruh any mit math major better have aime

#

thats insane

viscid pike
#

imo idt harvard is rly looking for olympiad grinders i feel like thts more mit

ashen carbon
#

don't even think mit wants olympiad grinders

rancid mural
ashen carbon

errant phoenix
rancid mural

💀

viscid pike
#

is it true harvard looks for more "well rounded" applicants compared to other schools

pulsar pond
#

no

#

it's outdated advice I believe

rancid mural
#

its not rlly advice

#

u should be well rounded in general lmao

#

dont only do 1 thing

pulsar pond
#

if it's true I should be chilling with my econ olympiad, public speaking awards and science ecs

noble yoke
#

I think harvard looks at spikes

ashen carbon
#

no

noble yoke
#

I am not sure

errant phoenix
#

its like 10x harder

vital wharf
#

so whats the minimum it takes to get a 1 (or 1-) for an academic rating?

pulsar pond
ashen carbon
#

the way i saw it was

pulsar pond
#

I need to remove that I guess

#

I'm a dual citizen

errant phoenix
rancid mural
errant phoenix
#

i think

ashen carbon
#

good at one thing + very good at incorporating other things into it

pulsar pond
#

I have US citizenship

#

thank you

rancid mural
ashen carbon
#

harvard wants collaborative people who are good at their niche

errant phoenix
rancid mural
#

2 is the most any normal person can get

ashen carbon
#

if you're a coder who thinks the humanities are stupid you won't get in

pulsar pond
#

yep i'm taking it off my profile

errant phoenix
#

i think id get a 1-

rancid mural
pulsar pond
#

no

rancid mural
#

i'd definitely get a 1+ ong

pulsar pond
sharp lava
#

I’d get a 0 ong

pulsar pond
#

or maybe mine just got thrown into the rejection pile immediately

#

hi kite

viscid pike
#

is tht good enuff for like an acceptance

pulsar pond
#

you need to be god to get that

ashen carbon
#

around 50% whereas a 1 in anything is like 80%

viscid pike
#

abt how many ppl get 1 for personality and how do they judge tht?

pulsar pond
#

judging on stat if I have a full IB predicted score and 1490 SAT is that gonna get me a 2-

vital wharf
#

oh i just did the math only ~300-400 ppl get a 1 in academics per year so its pretty much impossible unless u win isef or something

pulsar pond
#

at least

viscid pike

Will I get a 1 academic with MIT internship, 136.5 AMC, 1570 SAT, and courses like multivariable calculus and linear algebra with GPA 4.6

ashen carbon
#

no

#

2+ likely

#

sat doesn't even get you past 3+ alone

vital wharf
#

does harvard have 1-

pulsar pond
#

I got a gold medal for a competition called iGEM (i believe it came from MIT), 2 economic olympiad awards, 1 actually pretty dope public speaking award (regional) and a best delegate award in a regional MUN

ashen carbon
#

but like also don't listen to us we're not the admissions office

#

forgot to say that

pulsar pond
#

yes def take what we say with a grain of salt

ashen carbon
#

barely anyone gets a 1- in academic

pulsar pond
#

in the end we are just panicking high schoolers

vital wharf
ashen carbon
#

don't count on it

pulsar pond
#

yeah very true

#

maybe a beach of salt

#

:PPPP

ashen carbon
#

truthfully

bronze swan
ashen carbon
#

was it published

#

in a journal

viscid pike
ashen carbon
#

but also

pulsar pond
#

you know

ashen carbon
#

if you did decent in hs apply and you have a chance

pulsar pond
#

I start to think college admissions might start to get tired of research some years later

bronze swan
#

No it’s not published cause igs like a multi year study ig will probs get published in like 5 years

ashen carbon
#

it's starting to get really finicky

pulsar pond
#

i think future hs students will be running out of ways to stand out

ashen carbon
#

you're amazing, but being unlucky will still dock you points

pulsar pond
#

time to listen to the song I am

ashen carbon

iron aurora

#

theresa. rating for athletics

pulsar pond
#

i'll just get a 5 prob

craggy garnet
#

but its rlly only for recruited athletes

pulsar pond
#

i didn't mention any sports

craggy garnet
#

i dont think it actualyl matters

ashen carbon
#

yeah

#

it doesn't really matter

iron aurora
#

they disregard it if u dont participate

ashen carbon
#

i think the interviewers might bring it up though

viscid pike
ashen carbon
#

yes

craggy garnet
#

archery is an interesting niche as well

noble yoke
#

What if ur like team captain

noble yoke
#

Or soemthing

viscid pike
#

i rly think they j want to find which extracurriculurs youll be able to continue in college

#

or groups u can join

craggy garnet
#

apparently a rating of 2 considers athletic leadership

ashen carbon
#

yk now i wonder

noble yoke
#

since it said for 3 partipatioj but 2 it says shows leadership

ashen carbon
#

i put down martial arts in the ec interest form lmao

noble yoke
#

i am confused on that cuz 1 is for recruited athletes

craggy garnet
#

im sure you actually have to be good to get a 2 as well

#

but again

ashen carbon
#

they were definitely so confused

pulsar pond
#

i feel like mods are having a better time now

craggy garnet
#

leadership could probably be factored into EC

pulsar pond
#

the crazyness in this thread has lowered by a lot

ashen carbon
#

yes

mods please tell me if this is true
