<p>Hi I am currently a High School Senior applying to Harvard. It has been my dream school since I was 5 years old. I plan on majoring in Women's and Gender studies and doing Pre-med because I have also wanted to be a pediatric surgeon since I was 5. I have straight A's except for 2 Bs that I got last year (Math and Physics both semesters...so 4 B's total) I am currently ranked #3 in my class of 428 people; however, I am technically saludictorian because there are two #1s at my school. My GPA is 4.78. I have over 500 hours of community service majority of which are from the same place. </p>
<p>Also, I have been an avid member of the music program at my school. I have been in the marching band since freshman year and I worked my way to leadership last year and drum major of the band this year. I currently play Alto Sax and Oboe both of which I am first chair in. Also, I am in every ensemble of the program. </p>
<p>I am also in MUN and have been since freshman year. MUN has helped me become who I am and it has completely opened up how I view the world...I talk about it in my essay. I wouldnt' be who I am without it. I am majoring in Women's studies because of how it opened up my eyes about such issues and rights. I am also an equal rights advocate adn I am very passionate about it...it comes across in my essay. </p>
<p>I have traveled to 10 countries. I am african american and asian (malaysian/indian). My Dad went to Harvard Business and UPenn Undergrad. My mom grew up in Malaysia where she went to the top university there with a full ride scholarship. </p>
<p>I am only worried about my SAT/ACT scores because they are all low. I have a 2090 SAT Score (took it 3x and studied harder each test...got same score every time). I have a 30 ACT (took 2x...29 both times but with smart score I have a 30). I am also a Full IB Diploma Candidate and I am in all AP classes at my school. I am currently the only German 5 student at the school because I love the language so much that I plan on learning it fluently. </p>
<p>Also, the principal of my school will be writing me a letter of rec, my music director and MUN/history teacher will be writing me a letter of rec. And, I want to ask my 10th grade Chemistry Honors teacher, but I am worried that because she is a 10th grade teacher it might hurt my application...? </p>
<p>My essay talks about personal experience that lead me to become a feminist/equal rights advocate. It also mentions my passion for music, MUN, and becoming a pediatric surgeon. I am using the Harvard Supp app to tell them about my community service place as well as possibly my travels. </p>
<p>Do you think I have a good chance of getting in??? Please give me as much advice as possible. THis means so much to me!</p>
