<p>Well academically you sound qualified for Harvard. EC are too much, than what harvard wants. Choose 2-4 that you really passionate about to put on your College App, because colleges, esp. Havard, frown upon that. Other than that I think you would be a qualified canidate. Good Luck!</p>

<p>You should list literature. Those four scores paint a picture of a really able candidate: (if it were biology, I might say not, but (a) literature is frickin’ hard and (b) it shows your breadth.)</p>

<p>SeattleBulldog’s advice is wrong. If there are any that are completely meaningless, you should leave them off. But I only did two things seriously and I still filled all eight “activity” slots because I did have other interests, and was involved in their respective clubs at some times (15, 20 hours a year? Not nothing, but not serious.). (Nor would I append a list of any that don’t fit onto the CommonApp.) I think your resume looks good, although you should make sure to list your activities in descending order of importance.</p>

<p>Chances: definitely higher than average. With Harvard’s acceptance rates, that’s probably not saying that much, though…</p>
