[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is owed Harvard. Do you understand that you are competing globally for 2000 or so spots? Tell me when you looked at the acceptance rate did you think of another outcome ? I’m trying to understand why you are so surprisEd.[/quote]

It’s not 2000 spots.  More like 1650 or so.[/quote]

It is neither. If you are male/female, there are only plus/minis 1000 spots as most colleges strive for 50/50 male/female

If you are Asian M/F, then only around 23% of those spots = 230

If you are an American Asian kid, then you need to deduct the % that goes to the oversea Chinese

If you are an Asian kid who does not play a musical instrument that they need in their orchestra, you need to deduct another 10%-15% depending on how many members of the orchestra are graduating

If you are an Asian kid and is not first gen, then deduct another 10% of spots

And so on

If you then get a spot on Harvard, you should really try to refrain from buying a lottery ticket for the rest of your life as the probability of winning 2 lotteries in your lifetime is pretty slim!
