Thanks to Everybody
I also have a bunch of decent awards here and there…

Yes! Most definitely Harvard-caliber. Now the next step is to look for opportunities to do things that make you stand out from the average Harvard applicant (find something that you love and put some major creative effort into it). Grades, classes, and awards are just a part of the application

You’re not confused about whether or not your freshman classes were rigorous or not, right? You’re not confused that likely, you are tops or tied for tops in your class right? You know that a five is the highest AP score you can get right? You know that not everyone gets a varsity letter as a freshman in two sports right?

Just stay on course and keep your options open. Stay humble and be kind. Character matters enormously for top tier school admissions.

Thanks Guys our School Doesn’t rank :slight_smile:

If your school doesn’t rank, then you should ask your guidance counselor for insight into how your schedule and grades compares to all other college bound student’s at your high school. After all, when you apply to college, your GC is asked to rate both of these things. See page 2 of Secondary School Report (SSR): http://www.du.edu/apply/media/documents/2012CASSR.pdf
