<p>Could you be recruited for tennis? That would up your chances considerably. (Also you will need a second SAT II.)</p>

<p>^Since OP has a decent (or rather, really good) ACT score, a second Subject Test probably won’t be needed. Check Harvard’s website to be sure, though.</p>

<p>You’re obviously not in love with any school, and it’s a loooong time from November to September to make an ED commitment to a school you’re not in love with, plenty of time to regret your decision; April 30 is more reasonable as a decision date in such a case. Be careful with ED!</p>
