So would it be waste of time and money to apply there third time?

I don't think they'll even look at your folder; their limit is 2 applications.

If you applied to medical school twice already (unless you only applied to Harvard) and didn't get in anywhere, I don't think your chances at Harvard are that great. Other than that, if you want to keep yourself motivated, you can apply to Harvard for their rejection letters. I heard some doctors keep those and frame them in their offices to tell others that they can practice medicine and do well even if they didn't graduate from Harvard.

Harvard rejection letters are seriously the most well written, polite, and just plain nice of any rejection letter. I got both an MD and philosophy PhD one last cycle, and the MD one was especially respectful.

Yeah, I've seen a copy of it and it really is very nice compared to what other schools send. It even encourages you to apply to them for residency. I think they write it like that because they know that a lot of people who apply to Harvard (and get rejected) are 4.0 and 40 MCAT students who are going to be future Nobel Prize winners. So no point in writing them a nasty rejection letter and hurting their feelings.

Yeah, that was my thought too. They know that even full professors at Harvard often didn't get in there as medical students.
