My GPA is like 3.4, but I have extraneous circumstances. My last two years have been like 3.7 and 3.8 ish respectively. Course difficulty is more important than GPA in most cases, and I think I have like 5 or 6 APs? I'll check collegeboard later. Also, class rank is like top 20%, again, I'd be in the top 10 in my class without my extraneous circumstances.

SATs were 790 Math, 760 in Crit Reading and 760 in writing

Subject tests were 790 in Math, 560 in US History

3 sport athlete, church volunteer, worked on campaigns, town volunteer, member of board of ed.

Not sure about my weighted GPA.

Harvard gives a shit about grades because if you can't succeed in high school, which is over glorified babysitting, how will you do in one of the toughest colleges in America? It's not like you just show up and get a piece of paper. You have to work for it. However, GPA is rapidly becoming less important to colleges as class difficulty cannot be standardized. Our AP courses can be as easy as your Honors, or vice versa, but who can really know? SATs, ACTs, and extracurricular are more important. Don't just rest on your laurels though, actually do shit. I do swim and debate means nothing to people who see an app like tht every day.

And as for disadvantage, I can assure you it was nothing to facing clinical depression from being a new kid at a new school and being harrassed, losing your girlfriend to your best friend in front of your eyes, and then having to still attempt to learn, even on heavy meds (even now) to keep you from losing it. Even what I went through isn't a "disadvantage". Besides, with daddy being "#3", you aren't getting shit for sympathy. Try telling that to the black kid from south bronx who taught himself linear algebra or some shit like that. (I am white for those wondering)

AP = Advanced Placement

@(you need an account to see links) I don't think it's that easy.

And you seem well off, that's on your side at least. Why haven't you been in your classes, voluntary skipping, or academic related? The story behind the reasoning she has means a lot.

I didn't mean if you had money you can get in, I was just assuming if you were applying, you had the proper academics...and if you are paying full tuition that puts you ahead of everyone who applied for grants etc.

Colleges like Harvard care next to nothing about admission because, if you look at the statistics, most kids have their tuition paid off because of the enormous alumni contributions they receive.

The reason they get so much? Because the people they accept are intelligent generally, and do well in the real world, so they have the opportunity to give back.

It is more important to them that they have smart people there to maintain their credibility than dumbasses who flunk in a week.

Had stomach flu(very contagious strand) for 5 days of the 9. The rest was from minor colds and one day was from going to the ER for a appendix test. turned out it was fine

If it was a medical condition, and you are in good standing with the requirements, protest to a higher official or politely ask the teacher as to what you can do to better your standing and influence whether or not you move up or not.

All Blacks don't talk like that, and I get annoyed when they type/text/speak in that context. (Black-Asian currently speaking)

As for the AP course problem, have you tried walking up to her and directly asking if you can join her course?
