Let's say that I am not a genius. I have a 3.4 GPA, meaning I am a "B" Student. So from the Grade perspective I do not look so superb.This doesn't mean I am stupid, I just feel like I won't be taken seriously if I applied. But being admitted really is not about me, its about what I have to offer to this school. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to share my talents and experiences. Talents and experiences are what really make me stand out from being average. Anyway, I understand the tradition of Harvard is to look for the very best and the brightest students. So competing against the rest of the world, would it be worth even applying?

        My name is Keturah Wilkerson and I plan to attend you college one day. I'm currently a junior who is attending Asheville high There are many things that I like to do but didn’t get a chance to do in high school because of personal family situations. My parents are very hard working people who work about 12 hours a day, and they need someone mature to watch out for the younger members in the house so I babysit my younger siblings. I sometimes feel like I am missing a lot out of the high school experience but it would be very selfish for me to complain about it. I’m lucky to have a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and a loving family. I am a person who is always looking for way to improve. It is important to me that my junior grades be better than my sophomore grades. I’m determined to bring my G.P.A up to a 4.01 by the time I graduate. I'm curious about what I takes to be accepted in your Grad school what GPA range S.A.T. range and A.C.T. score do I have to achieve to become accepted in your college.

          I am a freshman in high school, and my dream is to be an attorney. What are future Harvard seeking students expected to have in order to be accepted at your great institution. Right now, I'm a Pre-IB student; I have a GPA of 4.50. I am studying Spanish (5 years) French, Greek, and Italian (under one year). I love being the one that fights for the underdog. I hate to see people be bullied. I won the FUSD Anti-Bully Campaign in November 2011. I volunteer at as many organizations as I possibly can and I have accumulated over 100 hours as of today. Please tell me, am I on the right track to becoming a Harvard student? Thank you for your time. Mia
