Results:

Mostly As: The Zoomer

The best and worst part about Zoom is that you can hide behind the screen, so you’ve been thriving during this time. Instead of spending an hour to get ready, you can wake up at 8:58 a.m. to join a 9 a.m. call, without ever changing out of your sweatpants. Also, you’ve spent so long staring at that cutie whose thumbnail video you’ve pinned that, even though you two have never exchanged Zoom chats, you’re really feeling a connection with them.

Mostly Bs: The TikTok Star

Your biggest achievement is having your TikTok reposted on Harvard College’s Instagram page. At this point, the only words you know are ‘Savage,’ ‘Renegade,’ and ‘The Box.’ Your dance videos have been scouted by every dance club on campus, and the improv and stand-up clubs are already trying to recruit you after watching your skits.

Mostly Cs: The Obsessive Facebook and Groupme Texter

As the creator of that Google Sheet where everybody puts in their personal information — their Instagram username, their hometown, and their SAT score — you already feel deeply connected to the Harvard community. By the time you get to campus, you’ll basically be a household name.

Mostly Ds: The Tinder Master

You haven’t gotten out of bed for days, but Tinder has been your savior. There’s no need to get ready when the only work you need to do is scroll through your camera roll and find your best personality pictures. Now that you’ll finally have access to Tinder U, the possibilities are endless.
