Harvard does not recruit by a student’s intended major. All applicant’s apply to the college as Liberal Arts Majors and choose a major, called a concentration, during their sophomore year.

As Harvard receives more applications from qualified applicants than they have room for in their freshman class, Admissions uses a student’s essays, teacher recommendations, guidance counselor report (SSR) and interview report to choose one high performing student over another. As you haven’t posted those items, nor should you, no one really knows what your chances are. (Some student’s are rejected even with perfect test scores and 4.0’s.) Best of luck to you!
