<p>see if your sat's are in the 2300's like your psat's, that would give you a boost. your sat ii's are good, esp bio-m. while you have lots of ec's, they are mixed and it's hard to get a sense of your passion and intended major. i'm not trying to be harsh, but remember that most applicants to harvard have similar stats and nothing really stands out in your app. plus, you're from NY and are asian, so thats a setback</p>
