<p>I'll try out Harvard for EA - if not RD.</p>

<p>Chances>?</p>

2

<p>You look like a strong applicant, especially because you have lived around the world. Still, your essays will have to be good.</p>

<p>Your probability of acceptance is probably around 60%.</p>

3

<p>arent' ya the person who plays like 10 instruments all with recordings and whatnot?</p>

4

<p>Yeah man! You definitely need fto take good care of your essays, the way you express your interst in various co-curriculars.....what really is your passion....and of it how is the impression the interviewer gets about all what you write or say... you need to be aware about the things you have been doing for the sake of it, and those you have been doing for your pleasure....need not worry....your international exposure and if you have gained anything from it will be automatically evident in your communication to the university....and then you should have the 'best of luck!'</p>
