<p>Probably not. You are a great candidate, but you lack any impressive EC’s. E.g. winning some piano competition at Julliard or whatever interests you.</p>

<p>If you eliminate the “common” stats from your profile, you are left with…nothing. What the poster above me said - you don’t have any " hooks".</p>

<p>meh. </p>

<p>sorry, but ACT is only semi-decent, 3 APs wont cut it, top 200 in michigan is probably not worth much (unless there are like ten million people in michigan, which i doubt), and “participation” in anything really doesn’t count for anything, unless it’s USA_O. plus, for volunteer hours to be worth anything at all to harvard, only >500 will really catch anyone’s attention. (i speak from personal experience; my friend had well over a thousand service hours and was rejected).</p>
