My essay was just about how hard freshmen year was and how i overcame my struggles and became a more extroverted and positive person by learning to embrace my academic curiosity

i rlly want to go to harvard. If u think i have a chance plz comment down below.

You have a chance. However, as ORM (over-represented), even with your superb stats I don’t see your chances as being much different than the roughly 5% overall acceptance rate. I would say the same regarding Stanford.

Given that you speak French I will point out that McGill would be pretty much a safety with your stats. They are very stats oriented and don’t care at all about your freshman year. You don’t need to know any French at all to study there, but knowing French would make 4 years in Montreal more interesting.

Are your senior years grades a guess, or are you taking a gap year, or have you already applied and being accepted and are you just pulling our leg?

3

those r my grades. I might be going to an international college. I just wanted to see if i had a chance at harvard.

4

I was wondering why your essays were done. It seems you have been accepted elsewhere and want to hear that you could have gotten in to Harvard. No one can tell you that. Good luck .

5

You said in another post that you are sophomore in HS. So I don’t know how you know what your senior grades will be or that you will get admitted to RSI

6

Our Science Olympiad team didn’t have a captain. What did you do in that capacity?
