<p>Dear Ananyo1993, all your stats look good, however, you need to do more community service. It would be great if your community service stressed your uniqueness or emphasized your passions.</p>

<p>Your stats are on par with Harvard’s admit average. However, keep in mind that Harvard has a VERY low acceptance rate, so even the best face harsh odds against getting in. A key way to stand out is through the essay: a unique piece is the easiest way to stand out in an unbelievable pool of talent.</p>
