<p>i have two siblings who attended harvard. i have a 3.72 gpa and a 2380 on the SAT. for sat subject tests: Math level 1: 800
Math level 2: 800
biology m: 750
us history: 780
chemistry: 750</p>

<p>i didn't do very well first semester sophomore year, and not really freshman year either, thus explaining my low (low for harvard at least) gpa. </p>

<p>i was just wondering if you guys could give me feedback on my chances.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Beta, what standard are you in? lol, sorry.</p>

<p>Scores are okay, GPA should be higher. Get good recs, do awesome ECs, write a killer essay.</p>

<p>Hope/pray.</p>

<p>i played 3 years of varsity tennis. 1 season of jv (freshman year). i’m captain this year. i played a season of freshman basketball. i’ve played piano for 10 years, and cello for 8 years. i have played in senior district orchestras and at the New England Conservatory.
i’ve been a writer/editor of the school newspaper for 4 years. been part of the student senate for 4 years. science team for 2 years</p>

<p>i realize my chances are slim, but should i even bother applying?</p>

<p>Obviously take the chance! Well actually apps are expensive. But if you get fee waivers apply to every school you want to.</p>

5

<p>but just wondering, does the fact that i had two siblings go to harvard, and the fact that my mom teaches at the harvard medical school help me at all?</p>

<p>it may but u never know…</p>

<p>I doubt having siblings there will help you. Legacy is a generational thing. Your Mom MIGHT help, but I’m not sure.</p>

8

<p>Just apply. What’s the worst that can happen?</p>

9

<p>true that. i second that.</p>
