<p>You look as good as any one, but the test scores are not stellar for Harvard. You should be in at Notre Dame, BC, and Wake. Duke you are probably good and Penn (if not Wharton) is a bit of a reach. Raise your test scores and you can get into all these schools, but even if you were god I wouldn't make any promises on Penn and Harvard.</p>
