@MichaelaLeach That's because I wrote a cover letter convincing Harvard by
comparing various aspects of myself, such as my academic and
extracurricular interests, to the programs and activities Harvard has, as
well as highlighting and updating various of my achievements in the
curricular and extracurricular fields, in order to present to Harvard a
more polished, formal, and professional appeal than a video promising not
to urinate on a statue, which Harvard should assume of all of its students.
Oh Grace! I hope it all works out for you. As a music concentrator from
said institution, I just want you to know that wherever you go, you're not
going to be able to imagine having gone anywhere else and you'll make
friends you can't live without. Not sure if you're trying to study music,
but Harvard is pretty rigid and competitive within that rigidity. I often
wish I had taken a year off before going. I would have come back 10 times
the student I was. Think about it!
Hey there! Thank you so much for your kind words--I agree that Tufts is a
wonderful place to be =) For the glasses, I would love to give you the name
of the shop, but unfortunately I bargained for them at a glasses mall in
Beijing when I was there my senior year of high school, and have since lost
the business card...however, I'm sure if you search online for some
fake-bamboo circular frames, something is bound to pop up!
This is great, and I want to say sorry that the "Ron and Don" show was so
unnecessarily mean to your effort just for laughs. I am not a music critic,
nor a very accomplished musician-nonetheless I feel I know music pretty
well. The song is well-sung, well-put together, and funny. Some of the high
notes could be a bit grating, but your vibrato is astounding. Good luck!
@romeomoon2 Please get over yourself and find something productive to do
with your time. I doubt you know enough of who Grace Oberhofer is to decide
if she is or is not deserving of admission to Harvard. Honestly, black
listed? Just remember, what goes around comes around. You might want to
rethink the negativity before it comes back to bite you in the butt.
Good luck Grace! =D And all you other faceless commenters, like tayknbaykn
said, get over yourself. Here is a girl who is devoted enough to an
university to create such a video, instead of slaughtering her you should
accept that someone found a way to captivate their attention in a way you
didn't, and get over the spiteful and childish comments.
@slvrixyz, thank you so much for your support and kindness! I am sorry to
hear that you were not accepted, but I am sure that you have some other
wonderful future plans, and I have a hunch you will be incredibly
successful wherever you go. I have not heard anything from Harvard, so we
will see what happens.
@BelieveInSaigon Hey there! I just want to clarify that I do not delete
comments because they are negative--everyone is entitled to their own
opinions--but I have been taking off comments with profanity in them. I
want this page to be user-friendly for everyone, and I hope you understand
=D
I honestly can't understand why anyone would critique your vocals; they're
seriously great and it's not like you're monitoring yourself on a stage
with a PA...you're just sitting in front of a camera, playing and singing
so +100 for being fantastic. I wish you the absolute best of luck!
@romeomoon2 Obviously, you don't know Grace. And from the looks of your
detective abilities, if that's what you plan to be when you grow up, maybe
you should consider TCC and stop trying to act like you know anything about
"Yaleies" and especially "Harvardies."
I think you have mistaken Harvard for American Idol. This video will seal
your fate. The Elton John glasses are atrocious. The setting (the sterile
room, b/w photos, large windows) convey a sense of entitlement. Maybe a
community college is more your style?
Wow. Everyone on here is so harsh. I thought this song was really cute and
creative and I hope this girl gets admitted. And by the way, if she's even
qualified to apply to Harvard, I seriously doubt she belongs at a community
college. Assholes....
Sorry to hear about Harvard, I saw your video on MSN and you have a
beautiful voice. Tufts is a great school, I'm going to start my MA in Drama
History and Criticism in the fall. You should feel very proud of all that
you have accomplished.
i also go to tacoma school of the arts (same school as grace), let me tell
you, she is not faking, by junior year we have all escalated in our skills
or talents. This video is obviously for comical reasons, dont freak out
Grace, I'm a Tufts student from Washington and i loved your video. I'm
sorry you didn't get accepted to Harvard but trust me you are going to love
Tufts. I'd be glad to answer any questions you might have
why would you want to attend at harvard? there are other schools just as
good...that and... you'd be in debt for the rest of your life... the tuiton
for that school is ridiculous! and it is stil rising.
To be frank, this is awkward and I doubt that you'll be admitted for this.
You're also probably going to get ostracized at whichever college you end
up at for making this.
