They are smart, we promise

FlyBy chatted with four randomly selected students of the 2,046 admitted to the Class of 2013 today to find out a little bit more about our new frosh friends. The lucky ‘13ers we spoke to received e-mails ranging from 5:02-5:15 pm. Most were excited. Meet the fab four after the jump:

Rocky Bostick

Clarksville, Maryland, River Hill High School

Admitted to: Harvard, Princeton, Yale EA

FlyBy: Where were you when you opened your admissions e-mail?

Rocky: In the bathroom.

FlyBy: What will be the deciding factor in the school you choose to attend?

Rocky: Definitely the people, I know the academics will be equitable anywhere I go but I’m looking for the people who make it fun.

(Chyeah Harvard, we got this one…)

Margaret W. (last name withheld)

Houston, Texas Kinkaid

Admitted to: University of Texas, University of North Carolina, USC, BC

FlyBy: Were you excited when you opened your e-mail?

Margaret: I’m not a very excitable person

FlyBy: Are you doing anything special to celebrate?

Margaret: (Pause) Maybe I should ask my parents to take me somewhere nice…

FlyBy: Silence.

Daniel Zelaya

Miramar Fl, Pembroke Prines Charter High School

Admitted: Harvard, Yale, Princeton

Daniel: I totally forgot Harvard was going to email me so I opened my mail and saw it and called my mom…

FlyBy: What are you interested in doing on campus?

Daniel: I’m extremely, extremely interested in politics…my life has revolved around politics for several years. I want to go to Yale or Harvard Law School… the reason why is because I want to be president.

(He might have to get in line.)

Peter Chen

Mason, Ohio, William Mason High School

Admitted to: Harvard, Princeton, UPenn, Duke

FlyBy: What time did you receive your admissions e-mail?

Peter: 5:02 P.M

FlyBy: Nice, you just set the record. What do you want to be involved in at Harvard?

Peter: Actually after my interview with [former] Crimson business manager James Black, I became interested in looking into that.

(Snaps for the Biz Board)

FlyBy: So what’s a fun fact about you?

Peter: Um, I’m color blind? Oh, I snore.

Well, at least they are book smart.

And on that note we’d like to leave you with one reason why you should be happy you were admitted to Harvard:

Today, I opened my mail to find my Brown acceptance letter. Excited, I showed my dad who just laughed and said 'what, it's not like it's Harvard'. No one in my family has ever gone to college. My dad didn\'t even graduate from high school. FML

Congratulations Class of 2013.
