Can I make it?

<p>Hi, I am a currently a Junior in High School. So far I have worked hard to earn straight A's throughout my Freshman and Sophomore year. This year I had the misfortune of having 2 B's on my report card due to an academic mishap. I am in all AP classes and the IB program. I am in German 4 AP/IB and next year I shall move on to German 5 AP/IB. I am an avid band member, and I am a leader of the Marching Band. It is said that I am on my way to being the Drum Major next year for the marching band. Also, I am in MUN and on the secretariat (equivalent of leadership). I am part of CSF, Tri-M Music Honors Society (I am VP of this society), German National Honors Society and I am going to be in the National Honors Society. Also, I am 2nd VP of the Pink Ribbon Club at my School. I have over 400 hours of community service and I also tutor. My SAT scores have ranged from 2050-2150. I have yet to take the ACT, but based on my practice test scores I am expecting between a 34 and 36. </p>

<p>Based on the above stated information, I am unsure if I shall be accepted by my dream schools, Harvard, UPenn, and Brown. I have always had it in mind that I would be Valedictorian but this year I messed up grade-wise and I now have 2 B's. I am worried that these 2 grades are going to eliminate me from the pool of applicants that have a legit chance of being accepted. Do you think I can make it with this information? If not, what do I need to do?</p>

<p>This is very important to me. It's all I have ever worked for, and I'm worried that my hopes and dreams will all be eliminated after this school year. I plan on getting all A's next semester as well as Senior year, but I am still skeptical of the admissions.</p>

<p>here’s something to consider:</p>

<p>actual scores are typically lower than predicted scores. a predicted 34-36 score could end up an actual 30-32 score. </p>

<p>typical volunteerism of people who apply to harvard are >500 hours</p>

<p>depending on your # of AP tests (and scores thereof), harvard could potentially reject you out of hand. </p>

<p>there are many 4.0 rejectees from harvard</p>
