  1. I think you posted in the wrong category.


  2. Take your courses very seriously, study hard and get good grades -- Lots of "A's".

    What course of study do you think you want to persue? Gear your main studies to that.

  3. I admire you for setting your sights high. That is the only way to achieve your lofty goals! But getting into Harvard is TOUGH. But with hard work it IS possible. I suggest the following:

    1. Go check out their website and get more information about the school and its requirements now, so you know what to aim for. I have the link for you below.

    2. Dedicate yourself to your schooling the next four years. You want to aim for a 4.0. That is ALL A's!! Close counts, but it has to be REALLY close.

    3. Practice taking the SAT and other exams whenever possible. You need to do really well on all the standardized tests. There are books at the book store that can help you improve your scores. Start early and you'll ace it when the time comes.

    4. Work on your writing skills. That should be your #1 priority in school: being a good writer. You will likely have to write an entrance essay, and top-notch writing skills are a MUST.

    5. I highly recommend you skip the romance in high school, too. You can have friends, of course. You don't have to be a zombie to get into Harvard! LOL! But romance will take up WAY too much time and will be a huge distraction.

    It's tough work, but if you are serious, there is NO reason you can't pull this off. Good luck!
