<p>I am a Harvard legacy: both parents, both grandpas, many aunts and uncles. I want to know if that, combined with the following SAT/GPA/EC's is enough to get me in.</p>
<p>SAT: 2280 (780 M, 750 CR, 750 W)
SAT II: Chem: 780, MIIC: 790, Spanish: 770
GPA: 3.90, hardest schedule possible, top 10% (4.25 weighted)
National Merit Semifinalist</p>
<p>EC's: summer research project with professor, varsity tennis (ranked top 100 in my state), mock trial attorney, school board representative, advisor to my Congresswoman</p>
<p>Anyways, those aren't super detailed facts, but you get the idea. solid academics, solid EC's. Not necessarily enough for Harvard on their own, but what are my chances if you take the legacy into account?</p>
<p>You’re a lock. I’d be real surprised if you didn’t get in given your legacy status. On your own you’re plenty impressive to deserve admission, alumni status should be a deciding factor for you. If not, there’s a variety of great schools that would take you… MIT, Princeton, Yale, Stanford… Don’t limit yourself. If you apply to them all, you’ll get into one guaranteed with your profile but i’d be surprised if Harvard rejected you with your background.</p>
<p>I think you have a great shot. If you really want to lock up your chances you should try to get recruited for tennis. Have you thought about that? With your stats and recruitment, you would be in for sure. Right now I would say you have about a 65-75% chance and thats super high considering most valedictorians with 2300+ SAT scores have only like a 20% chance. GOOD LUCK!</p>
