<p>You look to be a solid applicant so far, but I would suggest trying to find more leadership positions in your ECs. Good luck!</p>

<p>I guess you didn’t notice this thread at the top of the Harvard Forum:

<p>We have really similar academics, but I’m not state track champion, lol. But i do live in CA…</p>

<p>^^ That’s why it’s impossible to chance anyone without reading their teacher recommendations, guidance counselor’s report and essays – all items not posted by the OP. Unless the OP wishes to post those, the best that can be said is that they (and you) are competitive applicants.</p>

<p>If you don’t want to believe me, maybe you’ll listen to another Dean of Admissions: <a href=“https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-started/video-transcription/whats-the-most-important-part-of-the-application[/url]”>https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-started/video-transcription/whats-the-most-important-part-of-the-application&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>“The most important part of your application — bar none, no question, any college — is your high school transcript. Probably the next most important are your teacher recommendations, particularly if you’re applying to any kind of selective college or university.”</p>

<p>I think you have a very high chance! Great ECs
(also I think you meant unweighted GPA, not underweight :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>Haha yeah I did I typed this pretty fast.</p>

<p>Ya a bit more leadership wouldn’t hurt. But the internet company is impressive; that is unique for sure- the type of thing Harvard has a penchant for.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, what type of internet company was it?</p>

<p>Looks like a pretty solid resume on your part. The athlete hook is definitely helpful.</p>
