I run cross country, I do speech and debate Got 1st last year at state in student congress, and one a dozen tournaments. Participate in Mayors youth advisory board(MYAB) about 2 hours of community service a week talking about issues in the community and trying to solve them. Also do YAC Washington county advisory board 2 hours of community service in two weeks. Will probably be on these boards for high school career.

Best attribute is that I am a direct legacy to Harvard raising my chances to 52%.
Honors in all subjects I can</p>
<p>same 7.5% chance as anyone else…</p>
<p>harvard is a complete crapshoot when it comes to admission. i know a guy who got accepted into harvard and princeton with 2200 SAT scores, 4.0 GPA, and great ec’s (he was poor and was from a single-parent family so that was definitely a factor) but he was also rejected from yale, stanford, and mit.<br>
on the contrary, i know a guy who did not get into harvard or princeton and he had a perfect 2400 sat score, was the valedictorian of his class, participated in athletics and had great ec’s with a 4.0 gpa. he was also poor, but not from a single-parent household…maybe that could have been a factor? however, he still made it into an ivy.
obviously minority status and other uncontrollable things play a part in the process, but my point is that when you’re dealing with colleges like harvard or stanford, you can’t really know what the outcome is gonna be.</p>
<p>My parents are divorced if that counts for anything</p>
<p>Harvard uses your unweighted GPA- is that 4.0 UW or weighted? Any test scores yet? Are you recruitable for xcountry?</p>
<p>You’re a sophomore right now; you don’t have nearly enough data for us to use to chance you. Come back in 2 years, and then CC people can more accurately chance you (though Harvard is a crapshoot for everybody).</p>
