<p>Yeah, so I just came back from visiting Boston area colleges, and for some reason, I decided to visit Harvard. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I just didn't want to get excited over a school that is a reach for me. I honestly fell in love with the school, and did a complete 180 (I was dead set on Columbia before). Anyway, here are my stats.</p>

<p>Guarantee fantastic essay and letters of recommendation (One from GC, who i know really well, one from 10th and 12th grade english teacher, and one from 10th grade AP Bio teacher who I am currently helping to create an AP Environmental Science syllabus to make it a class next year (I self-studied it and got a 5 last year) and she also mentors me for Science Research, or maybe from 11th grade US History/12th grade US gov teacher if i decide to major in US History)</p>
<p>Please chance for Harvard, Columbia, SUNY Binghamton, Northeastern, Boston University (Acc. 7 Year Medical), UPenn, Princeton. Thanks!!</p>
