I want to know if I’m on the right track: I’m in all high honors and have obtained the high honor award since freshman year, I play sports inside and outside of school, I have done band for 6 years and drama for 5 years. I am the secretary of my school’s key club. I have gotten accepted into several educational programs outside of school for example, summer@brown and boston leadership institute.
I can’t provide any IB info yet
You’re doing fine.
Score high on standardized tests, get a 3.9 unweighted GPA or higher, and develop a spike, meaning that you should concentrate on one or two interests and pursue them through extracurriculars
Come back at the end of your junior year. If it wasn’t a trainwreck, ask again.
Really not the right chance to be asking, as I’m sure you know. It’s really about what Harvard needs in their class as they’re going through their applications. If they are missing a great flute player, the flute player will be accepted over others. It’s just luck often with Harvard and the rest of the Ivys, but you can definitely work as hard as you can and yes develop a great story. Focus on other schools and keep Harvard at the back of your mind.
You’d better include your current grade, standardized test scores (ACT/SAT), unweighted GPA, etc to see if you’re even in the ball-park.
Are you like in 10th/11th grade? If so, there is no way to tell and you’d better wait. As of right now, from EC’s alone, you’re at least on the right track. Just don’t get too hung up on Harvard; there aren’t many people nowadays that can honestly call Harvard anything but a lottery reach.
Why do you want to go to Harvard? Try to learn about many other schools. Don’t try to fit yourself to a school, find a school that fits you. And wait a little while.
