<p>Short answer: no.
Your scores and stats are not up to par with Harvard admissions. You have no hook and nothing stands out about your application. I would look at much lower-tier schools.</p>

<p>I agree with spanglish. Look elsewhere.
To even be a recruited athlete I think that you would need at least a 2000 on the SAT I.</p>
