Any special reason for taking a gap year?


Focus on an extracurricular/sport. And this kid is brilliant and near or at the top of the class but a H legacy as well.

Were you at graduation? I loved it when the speaker specifically told these students that they are NOT responsible for fixing the world.

Congrats to all these wonderful students! Let’s get this thread to 100 pages.


Is this accurate? How do you know? Insta page does not reflect this..


Insta pages are less than half the class.


Page “follows” most of the class

I know of 4 not 5 going to Harvard and all 4 fall into the legacy/urm/athlete category (excellent students regardless).
