2

<p>you have a 50% chance of being accepted
i think your hook is being the national debate champion</p>

3

<p>thanx...
i forgot to add my gpa 3.96(highest) on an unweighted 4.0 scale, my class load is the most demanding and my recs shoud b great....</p>

<p>I think that you have a pretty decent chance but you never know.</p>

5

<p>it could go either way. i'm not exactly sure what british A-levels are, but just to let you know competitive colleges are big on APs. so if a-levels are pretty much equivalent to aps, then it's worth a shot. </p>

<p>btw, didn't harvard just revoke the EA system? i think i read it in the news or something.</p>

6

<p>You can only try. But chances are low for almost everyone. It is almost like asking I am buying a lottery ticket, what are the chances of winning the jackpot? Who knows? Good luck.</p>

7

<p>if i had to bet money, i would put my money on him being accepted</p>

8

<p>Harvard's Early Action ends next year. This is the last year for the program.</p>

9

<p>w/o SAT results there is no way to judge probabilities</p>

10

<p>Irrelevant, but my parents are Bangladeshi and I was born in Canada and just joined the debate team at my school >_></p>

<p>I THOUGHT IT WAS KIND OF COOL.</p>
