<p>You are a viable applicant, but as so much of the admission process depends on comparing your transcript, stats, essays, EC’s and teacher recs to other applicants who have similar stats, no one can truly say what chance you have.</p>

<p>BTW: Legacy status only applies to Harvard College, so your mom having graduated from Harvard’s School of Public Health will not help you.</p>

<p>I believe Harvard had SCEA only.</p>

<p>You’re welcome! </p>

<p>Also, <a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/early.html[/url]”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/early.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>According to this page, SCEA doesn’t offer a substantial increase in chances. They accept more people because they have so many amazing students applying early!</p>
