Realizing that Harvard has produced some of the finest intellects, scholars and contributors to society I have nothing to say but the following:

I am 29 years old and I have been in contact with a few old friends and enemies alike who have attended that great university. With the exeception of one I have concluded that the school has attracted some of the biggest high school cheats, pricks and overall mother^&*#! scumbags I have know.

I used to be all wrapped up in that elite garbage having lived about twenty miles from Cambridge and hearing about the school day in and day out.

So you ask, what does it take to get into Harvard, here it goes.

1. You are a billiant mind with a diverse background.
2. You last name is "Bush", mom/ pops are major contributors, or you are such a WASPy, blueblood, (with a copy of the Preppy Handbook no less) that you've asked your good friend Woofy (or any other deritive of "y" i.e. Muffy, Tuffy, Tippy, or Buffy that works at Cantor Fitz or Goldman) about acceptance.

Those are the only two methods known. Notice they are polar opposite and extreme.

***THIS IS ONLY MY EXPERIENCE, I REALIZE THAT I AM WRONG DUE TO MY LIMITED EXPERIENCE, BUT ONLY OFFER MY OPINION*****

Let the flames begin......Counselors, I await your rebuttle....

Harvard is well.......for Harvard types. 😴

So staid and august. Heck I feel like donning an ascot and smoking jacket just thinking about it....Tolly Ho!, Cheers ***said in a deep Brittish accent****

As if med school doesn't stress you out enough...then there are those who aspire for Harvard Medical School. Good for them, I say.

Most of the Bush family went to Yale.

You don't have to cure AIDS. Finding a vaccine for HIV will suffice but only if it can be stored at room temperature and costs $1 per dose.

Discovering the unified field theory will get you in as will winning a Nobel prize.

Here's a hint - if you do any of these, Harvard will probably still take you even with a lowly 3.9 GPA and an abysmal 40 on the MCAT
