<p>some1 chance me? please</p>

<p>What low grades? Best hook may be the store. Harvard and other most selectives generally require three SAT IIs. EC a little weak, but you may have a shot.</p>

<p>lol 3 sat 2? site says 2 is sufficient. where’d you get your info from</p>

<p>sufficient is not in Harvard’s vocabulary, everything must exceed expectations.</p>

<p>Harvard has dropped the SAT2 requirement from 3 to 2 a couple years ago. However, they also said sending in more SAT2 scores may help. Basically, they want more people to apply. If your SAT1 score and GPA are not really excellent, then having more subject tests may help. Otherwise, 2 is sufficient for application.</p>

<p>No one? 10char10char</p>

<p>Your academics are great, but your EC’s seem like a laundry list of different stuff (unless you didn’t include certain honors). Did you do anything extraordinary in these EC’s? </p>

<p>Also, how do you already have your recs if you’re still a junior?</p>

<p>Obviously your grades are pretty much ideal, but for Harvard and other top school you need to be more well rounded. Perhaps do some more community service(which actually helps the community), or do some sports/clubs.</p>

<p>UMich: match to low match.
Berkeley: match
Cornell: high match</p>

<p>Others are low reach.</p>

<p>Agree with billcsho.</p>

<p>ty that was what i wanted to hear</p>

<p>@friedman b/c I asked a rec for a summer program
i’m still #1 in class so I’m assuming my rec hasn’t changed</p>
