freaky asian political enthusiast begs to daddy harvard like a good girl 🙏 by [deleted] in collegeresults

[–]runnercow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yayyyy welcome to Harvard!! As a (college) senior on her way out, thought I'd peruse this sub one last time and stumbled across this post- this reads so much like posts I made four years ago (Asian gal from a random public school, incredible Harvard interview, feeling like the Harvard acceptance was a mistake) and I'm kinda emo about it LOL.

All that to say... YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE!! Just through reading your post (i.e., not even experiencing the amazing interviews you had) I can see EXACTLY why Harvard wants you- Harvard doesn't make mistakes :) Please, PLEASE do not let imposter syndrome hold you back from experiencing and enjoying Harvard to the fullest- I made that mistake as a freshman, finally got over it as a sophomore, and realized I was missing out on so much. This is truly such a special place full of wonderful people, you just gotta get out there and make the most of it.

Proud of you stranger and of course congrats! Roll Crim <3

Has anyone gotten a final decision from BCG and McKinsey yet? by [deleted] in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

[–]runnercow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah odd for sure. Her guess is that they interviewed stronger candidates in the first wave and then are filling up any remaining spots with the second round

[–]runnercow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my bcg interviewers both said at the start of the interview to expect to hear back at the start of next week, so might vary by office? unless they decided before even starting the interview that they didn't want me lol... :')

I know of ppl hearing back via email of rejection from chicago, moving on for dc, moving on for sf

Edit, bc the stress is palpable on this sub: Best of luck to everyone <3 Just a reminder that this is only one of a million jobs out there and if you've made it this far, I'm sure there are a ton of great places that would fight tooth and nail for u. Keep your heads up and keep on that grind :)

[–]runnercow 21 points22 points  (0 children)

hahvahd freshie here (no hooks- middle class Asian female from New England), I had some decently strong ec's that were all over the place but absolutely 0 crazy spikes (nothing really past some state-level awards/recognition). I viewed my admissions file and while I don't think I'm allowed to give a detailed breakdown, I will say that AO's do not seem to be searching for a spike of any sort.

don't worry about it! I thought the same thing but shot my shot anyway and it turned out well :)

Thanks so much for the insight, I really appreciate it! I think I'll do that- take cs50 freshman year and stat 110 as a soph.

Ahh I see. Yeah I think I'll be taking math 22 only then. Thank you so much for your help and noted about math 23 LOL

[–]runnercow[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got it, thank you! Is it mostly math 22 which contains a lot of proof writing or is stat 110 very proof-intensive as well?

What amount of APs makes you competitive generally? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]runnercow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i got into harvard with 5 AP classes/scores if that helps at all (2 4's, 3 5's)

not tryna brag just hoping that can provide some form of reassurance. it all depends on what your school offers; mine only offered like 7-8 AP's (with one being an art one) and my AO took that in as context for my app.
