<p>Not to be redundant, as I know there are many of these on here, but what do you think of my chances getting into Harvard?</p>
<p>Freshman and Soph years I got a 4.0 taking the hardest classes available (not allowed to take honors in english or social studies either year, the school did not offer them)
Junior year took Running Start (college in high school) with around a 3.7 GPA.
This year I am continuing college and taking multiple AP's because I want to still be a part of my high school. (8-15 college credits/quarter, 3 AP's at HS). I am ahead of schedule to graduate with both my diploma and an associates degree.
Choir, Youth Group, and Swim Team all 4 years, I am a leader in each, plus other EC's like mock trial and knowledge bowl.</p>
<p>I also traveled to China to study IR and volunteered in Morocco in the past 2 years.</p>
<p>Standardized test scores?</p>
<p>Write good essays, pick good teachers to ask for recs and you have good chances.</p>
<p>SAT: Reading 740 Math 730 Writing 650
ACT: Comp 32 </p>
<p>I am taking the SAT subject tests in Spanish (w/ listening), Biology, and Math II this fall.</p>
<p>You’ll need to bump the scores up.</p>
<p>yeah, scores are really low for Harv. Why are you getting an Associate’s degree? Sounds like a waste of time, unless, it’s in something particularly impressive. Check out Northstarmom’s post on ECs.</p>
<p>The high schools in my city are very tailored to students who plan on going into the military or to local colleges.I chose to take Running Start over AP because the classes at the college are faster paced and I had a lot more variety to choose from. (Instead of just American History junior year I took History, Government, and Macro Economics)
I decided to go for my AA because it may make it easier to get a job in “real” college, and I would have taken most of the required classes anyways. It just seemed wrong to say no to a free college degree (even just an Associates).</p>
<p>To the best of my recollection from the Supplement, Harvard refuses to admit students who have already matriculated to another college. I’m not sure what standing this would place you in.</p>
<p>He’s fine, he just can’t get any transfer credit, I believe.</p>
