<p>I have doubts that your stats are true though, considering how aggressively Harvard recruits for fball. They scour ever single states all teams for kids with even a 28 on their ACT. They have to try 5 times as hard as notre dame, or ohio state, because they can only get such a small portion of kids to qualify. Considering that, chances are you have already been contacted, and would not be making a silly chances thread. Trust me, I know from experience.</p>
<p>You have wonderful academics and ECs. Have you filled out the recruiting questionnaires for each sport? They are found online, at each team's site and provide the coaches with an overview of your talents. I do remember from a track meet I attended in April at Harvard, that they seemed to be in need of some sprinters on the men's team. If you can fulfill a need on one of the teams, your excellent scores will make you a desirable candidate. Good luck!!!</p>
<p>You have a very good shot. It is Harvard so you never know for sure, but there are very few people who would have a better chance than you. The academic record and test scores are very good, but it is the fact that you maintained this level of academic success while excelling to that extent in sports that is the most impressive thing. Do you plan on playing varsity athletics in college? With those athletic accomplishments you would have a shot at playing in the Ivy League. Anyway, you have a good shot so just apply and hope for the best.</p>
<p>wow...i know i'm gonna get a million comments telling me how wrong and ignorant i am but ...if anyone here 's in for sure...it would be you.....how did you manage to do so many activities and maintain the grades and testing stuff?....impressive...:)</p>
<p>Cleveland's only major private school is catholic central, and they are pitiful at fball, and I don't know of any standouts in either sport. I am from the area. A kid name louis hinson was not bad, but I believe he graduated, nor did he play fball.</p>
<p>Nah, you won't get accepted. Seems like grade inflation to me.</p>

<p>Come on? You're still a sophomore or junior and you haven't taken the actual SATS? I bet you bomb them, seems like brother at your school is changing your grades ;)</p>
<p>w/e i was saying that st.edward was good at both. Walsh is also good at both, but not as good. o sorry I guess i pull at least ONE all nighter a week.</p>
<p>You definitely don't go to walsh. I have a friend there, he was telling me about their QB named joe bowers, and also told me that he is dumb as a rock.</p>
