Chances at Harvard?

<p>Okay so I am a senior in high school. I would normally be a junior but I have been approved for early graduation in 2013! I wanted advice on what my chances are for Harvard. I am Indian and my GPA is about a 90, I have 5 AP classes this year, with 2 last year (AP Gov and AP Calc BC), and I have about 1 and a half years worth of college credits from a community college and also Richard Stockton College. I am also the youngest person to ever attend Stockton. I am highly interested in doing engineering undergrad and then go into medicine and law. I am from a low income family and my EC's are crew, track and field, archery, marching band, EMT training class, and other college classes. I have also I may or may not get into NHS idk yet. I also took the SATs in March last year and I got a 1770 without studying, so I think I can pull it up to maybe a 2100 (hopefully) by November. I am also quite proficient in many various subjects and active. Please let me know what my chances are at Harvard or other Ivy Leagues!</p>

<p>You need to give more info for anyone to really give you a good response. Based on what you’ve said, it seems unlikely. Also, why are you graduating early, out of curiosity?</p>

<p>What if you messed up sophomore year and you apply to Cornell in the beggining of senior year with a 4.3 unweighted gpa? Do they have a chance?</p>

<p>what more info did you have in mind?</p>

<p>also I had a shaky freshman year and I brought my GPA up to 90 by the end of sophomore year from an 85. I decided to graduate early because I wanted to get to college one year early, which in turn cuts off a year before I become a doctor.</p>

<p>More info about your ec’s. Since your grades and test scores probably put you in the lower half of the applicant pool, you need to have some really spectacular ec’s to stand a chance</p>

<p>GPA is a bit low for Harvard, and even a 2100 SAT would be low. Under 2000 and your chances are basically zero. Also, colleges many times look down on early high school graduates. </p>

<p>Also graduating early will only hurt you in admissions</p>

<p>really? I have heard many many school teachers, administrators, and other people that early graduation will boost your chances if you are a hardworking student</p>

<p>I volunteer in the local hospitals and I help tutor other students in my school who really need help.</p>

<p>Your stats are not close to competitive</p>

<p>Yeah, no chance. SAT is way too low, GPA is bad, and graduating early will heart you. Also you have no clue what you are talking about. You want to do Engineering with pre-med, and then get an MD and a JD? Thats absolutely nonsensical.</p>

<p>lol says the guy who can’t even spell “hurt”</p>

<p>Bro don’t be so defensive. He’s right.</p>

<p>Probably autocorrect (a lot of people post from their phone), but OP is right. Don’t graduate early, your GPA is low, your SAT is low (and you haven’t even taken subject tests yet) and your ECs are rather average (which is less then average for an ivy). You need that extra year to improve your SAT score and GPA and even then you will be an under qualified applicant.</p>

<p>I agree with everyone above. What’s the hurry to go to med school? I am a physician and love my job, but I never would have cut a year off of high school or college. The more you can learn about every field–not just science and math–the better physician you will become. You will also be a happier and more interesting person (that is my personal bias). However, the point made above is true too. You need the last year of HS to try to bring up your test scores, GPA, and EC’s. Your EC’s are pretty good, but you might consider adding some volunteering.</p>
