<p>If you guys could tell me what my chances are for Harvard accepting me (im doing early decision) it would be wonderful</p>

<p>Thanks for your time,

<p>You're on the right track. Have you taken the PSATs yet? If so, how did you do?</p>

<p>hey I'm also in FL and taking art history online.
I got fallagan-how about you? Do you have any messages regarding the welcoming phone call?</p>

Looks like this is, by far, the most important point you've mentioned. Do you know whether you are good enough to possibly be recruited for a college track team? If you're in the "recruited athlete" category and a coach wants you, you'll have a pretty good shot. Otherwise, it's very doubtful (of course, it's a bit hard to say without knowledge of SATs, etc.).</p>

<p>Uhm-i start AP Art History in the fall
As for my PSATS im prjected to get a 1560 on the SAT's</p>

<p>I am the captain of our xc teams and as a sophmore i am very close to the times that Harvards kids are already running.</p>

<p>also- i have an uncle that went to Harvard-will that improve my chances?
Thanks again,
Rog</p>

<p>u suck. Get on my level</p>

<p>why do you take honors and ap bio at the same time? I think you have great grades and ecs, you should be fine</p>

<p>its what our school does-the 1st hgalf of the year is titled as the honor part and the second hlf is labeled as the AP part-its designed to give extra weight or something-i dunno</p>

<p>But do you guys reccomend me sending this resume to HArvard using my EA??Or is my luck better spent somewhere else</p>

Okay. If you're really at that level, this is by far your most important asset, and I can't stress that enough. Your job now is to be as successful as possible in cross-country while building a decent supporting case. You should probably contact Harvard coaches (humbly) and provide information about your times to try and elicit interest.</p>

<p>JW, I'm a runner too, and what are your records?</p>

<p>And is the 1560 on just math and cr, or all three?</p>

<p>As I'm reading this over, I have come to the conclusion that you and I are almost exactly the same person.</p>

<p>My 5k should be around high 16's
My 800meter is around 1 58-2 00
and my mile is high 4 30's low 4 40's</p>

<p>1560 on the math and writing....</p>

<p>So-if my times improve even a little bit-do u think my pakcage will beenough for haarvared to accept?</p>

<p>If you really do get a 1560 out of 1600, have great grades, and continue to be a track beast, I think you have an EXCELLENT shot. No one is guaranteed of course, but you'd be pretty darn close. The only thing holding you back would be the few Bs you have.</p>

<p>would i be considered a legacy since my uncle went there?</p>

<p>wait-only 2 B's are that important?</p>

<p>Stop!!!!!! Are you saying the Harvard runners can only run in the high sixteens for 5k and 4:30's to low 4:40's for 1600?? That's awesome, I can totally do that.</p>

<p>HAHA yes of course.</p>

<p>That's completely inaccurate. I suggest you pay a visit to <a href="http://www.gocrimson.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.gocrimson.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>No-my PR for a 5k was 16 28-im consistently in the high 16's
My PR for the Mile was 4 21 and for the 800 was 1 54
I just gave u my consistent times, those are my pr's</p>
