<p>It’s a pretty impressive resume. But you probably should have a community service section too.</p>

3

<p>^ What.</p>

<p>OP, I take it English is not your first language? Are you required to have a TOEFL score? Your SATs are quite low, and (while I am not sure on this point), I think you might be somebody who should submit one.</p>

<p>Your resume is obviously quite good. But, as ever, that doesn’t guarantee anything.</p>

4

<p>my TOEFL score is 103</p>

5

<p>I don’t know if Harvard goes easy on foreign applicants as far as Reading and Writing scores, but as of now you are going against thousands of people who will have scored 2300+ on their SATs. That is definitely a blemish on your resume.</p>
