I read about that too. It's shocking, isn't it? I really want to go there, but it sounds like you have to be one-of-a-kind amazing to even be considered, let alone get in. Does anybody know what last year's acceptance rate was?

I'm not sure about last year's acceptance rate, but I know that this year's was a record low. So last year's had to be higher -- too bad we missed out. Just curious, do you think this acceptance rate will just continue to rise until Harvard is accepting 1-2%? Or do you think the rate will stabilize at some point?

yeah i know. theres this senior at my school who got accepted to harvard and her SAT score was only 1900, but i think she had some talents besides academics and thats what i believe got her in.

the reason their lowering acceptances is because of the online applications, which means that so many people can apply. Plus i heard that if you apply online you don't have to write an essay; i'm not sure how true that is

well it is pretty unlikely t get into Harvard.. so obviously the acceptance rate isn't going to be very high. duhh
