would 99.95 atar guarantee an entry to harvard university or do you have to have all that other curricular activies, sporting, academics shit?

I've heard you do need co-curricular etc.

 

[slyhunter]

^pretty much.

 

[mitchy_boy]

They don't take the VERY best academic students.

The students who get full marks in their SAT's (US equivalent of HSC), are usually rejected.

Just be content with Australian universities you child.

Go to ANU/UMelb/USyd then apply from there

If you mean undergrad entry, you would definitely need extra-curricular stuff. Postgrad not so much.

Terrible advice.

I don't think it would guarantee you entry. You need the co-curricular activities probably, and you would have to do the tests- LSATs i think(?). Also- entry isn't everything- you then need to find the money to pay for fees/accomodation...

But Harvard is Harvard.

In short, no. Absolutely no way.

I did get 99.95, and I did get into Harvard, but by no means was my ATAR the defining part of my application. Keep in mind that few Americans even know what an ATAR is. To get into somewhere like Harvard, you have to demonstrate your personality on an application, and you need to somehow stand out (often in a national sense). I know of plenty of 99.95s who were rejected from Harvard (and many other Ivy Leagues) with international competitions and major extra curricular positions up their sleeves. The application to Harvard is farrrr more than just grades and run of the mill activities. I think one of the most important parts is the essay, where you show your voice, but others would beg to differ.

Also, why Harvard? You do realise that there's more to a university than its name, right?

No.

Harvard's a great uni but in my opinion its not worth it if you are eligible for study help and HECS in Australia. You're paying 50k+ a year to attend Harvard (fees, textbooks, cheap accommodation etc) whilst you pay like $4k to attend uni in Australia? You don't even have to pay the $4k till you finish your degree either... Unless you plan to work in the US, it's just not worth it.

Oh yeah I made a mistake sorry. I meant ~$4k per semester, $8-10k per year.
