<p>Oh come on, you know you have a great chance!!</p>

<p>I’m about the average applicant, and nobody can claim that they have a “great” chance of getting accepted. Esp. at Harvard.</p>

4

<p>Then what do you want people to reply if you already know this?</p>

5

<p>I live in GA as well. :3 And you have a strong chance! Very competitive applicant. <em>^▁^</em>
What is your GPA and results of your subject tests?</p>

<p>“I’m about the average applicant”…Your humbleness frustrates me.</p>

<p>Look, being an African American with a 36 ACT/2390 SAT gives you an amazing chance. The other stuff like being president of 5 clubs, etc. just solidifies the fact that you’ll be accepted. </p>

<p>You didn’t say what your GPA or class rank/percentile was, so unless it’s pretty bad (which I doubt), there is little chance that you’ll be rejected. I hope this isn’t a ■■■■■, because you may be the most likely person to get into Harvard that I’ve seen on CC. And hopefully you took two subject tests as well, since those are required</p>

7

<p>You have a fairly decent shot at getting in, since ur scores are pretty good. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Frankly, I think there’s a misleading amount of optimism in SAT128’s reply. I think you’re certainly better than the average applicant but I would not be surprised if you got rejected. For that matter, I would also not be surprised if you got accepted. That’s what makes you above average.</p>
