<p>Aim for an 800 on CR, it’s much easier than the other 2 as there is a large curve.
Nepali I believe is a boost. I’m not an expert on international applicants though. You don’t seem to have any non-academic EC’s which might hurt you. Please don’t say “gud” anymore. Definitely apply, but definitely don’t depend on it as Harvard is super hard to get into. You have a chance, though.</p>

<p>I thought this was a joke, based on the title.</p>

<p>Pdwaggy: happy new year!!!</p>

<p>Highschooldir: no it is bot a joke, i m serious. If it still sounds like a joke lemmie change the question. Awhat are my odds of getting to harvard?</p>

6

<p><5% and that’s optimistic.</p>

7

<p>

</p>

<p>sigh. 100 toefl only? clearly 149 worthy.</p>

8

<p>I think you definitely have a chance.</p>

<p>Actually, i asked if i am gud enough cuz as an international student i have two options for applying early action; one to apply to just Harvard (restricted EA) or to apply to othe many 4-6 colleges which offer unrestricted early action like Universoty of Chicago. And since i had just no idead if i have even a little odss of getting to harvard, i was in a dilemma abt which option shud i choose!</p>

<p>If you can’t spell, you can’t go to Harvard.</p>

<p>if you expect to get 2300+ in SAT, u should be expecting more than 100 in TOEFL.& i’m sure you will, TOEFL is much easier than SAT (personal opinion)…good luck to you!</p>
