<p>Recommendation from the Mayor of Panama who went to Dartmouth (if that helps).</p>

<p>I can't comment on your percentages because each country has a different grading and im not familiar with yours. However your SAT scores are low for Harvard you should break the 2300 barrier which your not and your SAT II's aren't that stunning either, being International is difficult as well because of lower acceptance rates. But im not the expert theres no harm in applying at all.</p>

<p>And honestly I don't know if Harvard will let you play for Princeton's football team but you can try.</p>

<p>LMAO.</p>

<p>Are you sure those SAT scores are low? I think they are just in the range for a Harvard applicant, and it would seem to be that he is URM, no?</p>

<p>But he is international too I think. If he is thats greater competition. If he is a Puerto Rican citizen tahs doesnt give him as much of AA boost as someone who is MExican.</p>

<p>If 95% is a 4.0, OP's GPA is 3.3. </p>

<p>What is your class rank?</p>

<p>Hmm, there is THAT much of a difference between Puerto Rican and Mexican?</p>

<p>You can't consider GPA unless he goes to an American School because it doesn't mean the same thing everywhere in the British Curriculum a % in the high eighties low nineties is very competitive.</p>

<p>internationals dont get an AA boost because they aren't American and count as international students.</p>
