EA chances?

<p>Harvard is my favorite school out of all my reach schools and I am considering applying EA. Please tell me if you think it's worth it for me to apply early to Harvard, or should I choose another school that is more realistic to apply early to? </p>

<p>Female - California native</p>

<p>GPA: 4.3
soph year- honors alg 2/trig, AP euro, english, chemistry, spanish 3 ect.
junior year- AP calc AB, honors spanish 4, honors english, art 2, AP US, Journalism, Physics
next year- basically all the APs possible</p>

<p>SAT: 2100 (this is without studying, I'll take it again after i study this summer and I know I'm capable of raising it alot)
SAT 2: 730 literature, 750 US history, 630 math (horrible, im retaking it)

<p>EC's

<p>I know its short, but the Youth Council and Journalism activities are pretty substantial. I am a pretty good writer, so my essays should be excellent. I can probably get an alumni letter and my teacher recs should be good.</p>

<p>omg please give me input</p>

<p>You've got a pretty good chance... as good as the rest of us. Your ECs are fine, they show passion in a couple of areas. Do you have a hook though? What are you going to emphasize?</p>

<p>my hook will probably be Journalism, I dont really know yet though</p>
