<p>REA to Harvard or Stanford. You have great EC’s and okay academic stats. Just keep in mind there are going to be applicants who have done greater business ventures than you and have done better in high school than you as well. Keep the attitude in its place during the interview and focus on your strong points while not shying away from your weak points (academics) when you write your essays and are asked questions by your interviewer.</p>
<p>If you get in, it will be for your ECs, obviously. But don’t risk losing any chance you have by short-cutting academics - at the end of the day, you could probably go straight into the workforce with the work credentials you have, but you are applying to SCHOOLS , not jobs. You need to show them that you can buckle down and work.</p>

<p>stats are low, but your ECs are great. very unique and focused…stanford will love that. write some great essays demonstrating your passion for business and you have a good shot</p>
<p>yeah your ec’s certainly make you stand out… not sure how much they will take into consideration your mediocre gpa and test scores though…</p>
<p>I didn’t read through everything, but I think you mentioned ED cornell. I think despite the lower test scores, ED cornell would be a sure shot, while Harvard and Stanford not so much.</p>
