And keep it in mind, there are more graduate students here than undergrad. So you don't have to come here out of high school - in fact I wouldn't encourage that. Get out there, explore the world, once you know what you want to do, choose an Ivey league school the propels you in the world. It would offer you resources you do not have at disposal and make you into a scholar/leader in the field. It's not about the smartest guy in the room, it's about the ability you have to believe in yourself and the people around you. Good luck!

David Trinh supposition. Assuming. He supposed that if the ones applying even had the best of what is considered to get into an ivy i.e. High SAT scores, Sky high GPA scores and extra curricular activities even then, there's a bigger chance that you won't get in than the chance of you getting in.

I helped my daughter to get into Harvard as a grad student. She's Spaniard and she has always attended Spanish public schools. I can say what it took for her to get into the PhD program: work, work and work, with a pinch of good luck. From 5 AM, no weekends, no summer holidays. How to do that? Love what you do. Do not try to do things just because others do. Try to excel in what you get. Do your best in every ball. No problem in being round, as long as your perimeter is huge. She never thought of going to Harvard until she started to think where would she meet the best teams to learn from. She was never obssessed with this or any other institution. The Ivy League was unknown to her by the time she was applying. By the way, she refused anoher Ivy League for exacty the same reasons she was told an Ivy League university chooses to refuse an otherwise excellent student: lack of passion.

Excellent speech and very helpful!!

Columbia was my "dream" school. I got in, hated it, and transferred. A person should choose the school that is a good fit for their ambitions, values, and personality; What can that school offer to YOU? The application needs to make sense in terms of "fit" and you need to convey that to admissions. Forget about the brand and so-called ranking. That's bull. Research the schools that are right for you and apply to them.

he is just basing off how OTHER people got into Harvard. he just got opinions and statistics. terrible statistics

This is the equivalent of someone with 5,000 subscribers making a video on how to get famous on KZread.

It doesn't matter what school you went to what really matter is that how can you get a job in the real world after you graduate college and start making good money i don't think too that all Harvard graduates get a great job right after graduation people have to know that college doesn't guarantee your career it guarantee your education cuz you paying for it.

Actually I'm a big follower of Warren Buffet's ideas and I've seen many of his speeches, and in one of his speech he clearly said that you should not waste your money in these expensive universities. Instead he recommended get a diploma from a cheaper college and invest the remaining money in a good stock, and by the time you complete your graduation, you'll be already ahed of those who wasted their money.

So you expect us to have an extremely sharp spike going out once a week?

CREATIVE GENIUS you dont need to change yourself. Not what a person you are. But you gotta change the things you focus on. Like instead of going for different sports, you better go with that instrument you like to play or maybe be dancer if you want. They basically want people doing what they love to. Not what others think they are supposed to.

Simply spectacular

someone great once told me never belive 3 things , lies , damn lies and ''statistics!

There's a number of reasons why I prefer Cornell over Harvard. Harvard's not for everyone. 95% of the people who apply get cut so they odds would definitely be stacked against me.

95% ivy league obsessed kids would be successful , HAPPY , less debt..doctors, lawyers , MBA , teachers etc at their state schools!!

I'm so confused, Harvard is my dream but I'm not sure what to do.

Claire Tyler Harvard want a well rounded class, not necessarily a well rounded person. My advice would be to show Harvard that you have a passion, and stick to it. Consistency and commitment to your passion is so important. Also, the grades are pretty important as well. Harvard need to know whether you are actually capable of leaving with a degree, so try to take the best classes your school offers, and get the best grades. Try to score the highest in your class.

The hell is this? I thought the highest gpa was like a 5.2 or something

The reason for that is in India, all the students pretty much compete for the same exact thing- an engineering degree or a medical one. Hence, over a million Indian people write the JEE main exam per year, and these the IITs being pretty hard to get into, only about 0.5 percent of them get in. However, on a worldly level, even IIT Bombay ranks somewhere in the 100s.

the funny part is usually schools having such high rankings are simple braggers of monopoly plus the ranking is usually based 95% on research facilities, alumni and other bogus stuffs. If you genuinely want to base talent then Harvard or MIT don't literally stand a chance against toppers of our low-ranked Indian schools. Though it might sound sardonic and pretentious but honestly in merit-based standpoint the " QS or any other * ranking is plain BULLSHIT

Sabbir Ahmed That's not entirely true. While MIT and Harvard really don't deserve the hype they get, they're still amazing universities. Research facilities are not bogus, they're pretty damn important for a university one of whose primary concerns is research. IITs base your value on how much of your life you are able to sacrifice sitting at your desk and studying. They don't really deserve a high ranking either.

I am just trying to differentiate getting into Harvard doesn't mean you're the smartest (always ) but of course the facilities you get for self-development in Harvard are simply light years ahead . It is a Google- searched statistical fact that the number of " merit population " in India exceeds the entire population of the US.
