<p>Well since that’s not getting any results, I suppose I’ll try something else;
If you chance me, I’ll chance you.</p>

<p>try posting in the What Are my Chances forum, or even Harvard 2015. No one really comes to the 2012 forum :confused: (In fact, I got here by accident)</p>

<p>But I will say you’ve got the “typical” Harvard applicant rap sheet. Depending on your essays, it could really go 50/50 for you. Unless you have some really original EC’s , I wouldn’t say you are a lock-in. What do you do outside of music? Usually, if you’re going to have only one main EC, your accomplishments have extremely amazing, and unfortunately, there are kids out there who have similar musical accomplishments to yours in addition to award-winning science fair projects/outstanding athletics/etc.</p>

<p>Being a WASP could be a negative hook, but as far as stats/EC’s go, you’re looking pretty good. But your essays will have to be BOSS, so start working on them now.</p>
