Canadian Junior Wanting to go to Harvard

<p>Hey Everybody!
I'm a Grade 11 Student in Rural Ontario, Canada, and I was wondering if you think I've got what it takes to get into Harvard. Unfortunately, due to my location, I cannot take AP classes or the like, as public Ontario schools don't offer them, but all courses I have taken are at the University Prep level. Here's my stats as of now:</p>

<p>96% Average in Grade 10 (with 2 grade 11 courses)</p>

<p>Grade 11 Course Marks:
96% in Accounting
87% in Canadian Law
94% in English
88% in Physics
92% in Biology
98% in Co-op Program at the Hospital</p>

<p>Next semester I am taking Chemistry, French, Sociology, and Math. Last year I ranked #1 in my class, and I believe I may be in the top three so far this year.</p>

<p>Extra-Curriculars:
Member of Exec. Student Council (in charge of charitable events)
Chief Editor of Yearbook for past Two Years
Volunteering in Geriatrics Ward of the Hospital(Hoping for surgical floor next!)
Occaisional work as a stage hand at local theatre
Occaisional work for the United Way
Organizer of school's 30 Hour Famine Campaign
Member of LINK Crew (Help Grade 9s adjust to highschool)
4th place in board-wide french speeches last year
Jazz piano/keyboard player.
Work as a Pharmacy Technician filling prescriptions.</p>

<p>Hooks:
First-generation college
Family background of substance abuse
Single-parent household</p>

<p>My ultimate goal is to become a physician (maybe cariothoracic surgeon or internist), and after visitng the Harvard campus I fell in love with the school! So you think I have what it takes to be accepted?</p>

<p>take the SATs and we'll get back to you, right now I'm not sure, i mean anyone who tells anyone that they have what it takes to get accepted is lying or guessing, b/c harvard admissions are a crapshoot.</p>

<p>I completely agree with the guessing thing lol. from what I've read/heard, it pretty much goes on a case by case basis. I'm probably going to be taking the SATs sometime before the end of the year, but I have to drive 7 hours to get to them haha...oh well lol</p>
