College essay that got into harvard

Here's the letter offering me admission into Harvard College under Early Action. I was so thrilled when I got this letter. It validated many years of hard work, and I was excited to take my next step into college (...and work even harder). I received similar successful letters from every college I applied to: Princeton, Stanford, and MIT.

(After getting into Harvard early, I decided not to apply to Yale, Columbia, UChicago, UPenn, and other Ivy League-level schools, since I already knew I would rather go to Harvard.) The application that got me admitted everywhere is the subject of this guide. You're going to see everything that the admissions officers saw.
