<p>research experience / West Point Summer Leaders and volunteer work helps you stand out,
your GPA, SAT’s and awards are all within range, but as you probably already know, its a crapshoot for everyone getting into Harvard. My valedictorian (with a 2400, awesome ec’s, pretty much everything) got deferred, waitlisted, and finally got in) but that’s only one example. I think you have a great shot, just try to stand out from everyone else (because you know everyone has similar statistics as you), your essays will probably be the difference maker!</p>

<p>chance me back too please:

<p>Good enough to apply, which gives you a 1 in 10 chance (ish). Better than those that shouldn’t even bother to apply. So…1 in 4, 5, 6,? chance? Because all you really CAN know is whether or not to apply (if there is ANY) chance. Because, beyond that you KNOW it’s the proverbial crap-shoot for virtually everyone.</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>You have the same chance as all applicants - your ranking is really high.</p>

<p>Can you chance me back please. Thanks.
