<p>Hey guys with these stats, do you think I at least have a fighting chance?? (It’s not all official because I’ll be taking SAT’s again this fall and AP’s for this year haven’t come out yet) but:</p>
<p>GPA = 3.97 unweighted
Rank = 3rd out of 613
SAT = 2280
AP’s (So far) = 5 on physics b, 5 on calc bc, 5 on comp sci
Leadership = positions in 4 honor societies and 2 clubs
SAT Subjects: 770 Physics, 790 Chem, 710 Bio M, 800 Math 2</p>
<p>^ Everything looks solid.</p>
<p>What is a URM?</p>
<p>^ A member of an under-represented minority group, such as African American, Hispanic, or Native American.</p>
<p>^ Ah, thanks. </p>
<p>Jersey - What are your track times?</p>
<p>^They OBVIOUSLY go as follows:</p>
<p>100M - .01 sec
200M - 0.10 sec
400M - .3 sec
800M - 1.0 sec
1600M - 5.0 sec</p>

<p>If only we could all be superhuman.</p>
<p>
I’m a sprinter and they’re within the D1 Tier 2 recruiting range which basically covers the Ivy’s. I have no interest in gaining admission as a recruited athlete.</p>
<p>Hmm… do I need a HS diploma to apply to harvard?</p>
<p>^I would say yes, unless there are some extraordinary circumstances that would mean otherwise.</p>
<p>^You don’t need one to apply but you might need one to attend.</p>
<p>What person doesn’t want to go to Harvard? This thread is redundant.</p>
<p>^ There are people who have legitimate reasons for not wanting to attend Harvard (i.e. not feeling like the environment is a good fit, not liking the Boston/Cambridge area, etc.).</p>
<p>I’ll also be applying to Harvard.</p>
<p>fledgling, </p>
<p>What are you doing on CC on your birthday? Happy birthday!!!</p>
<p>
You do not need a diploma to apply or attend harvard. However, i wouldn’t suggest deciding to apply to college as a junior and not graduate, because if for some unfortunate circumstances you do not graduate from harvard you are pretty much screwed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thanks! 
Hm, just post as usual and sit around waiting for June SAT scores? :p</p>
<p>I’ll also be applying 
Senior year is going to go by so fast</p>
<p>Happy belated birthday, fledgling. </p>
<p>Your present(s) will arrive on April 1, 2011. ;)</p>
<p>Wow. after reading all the posts and seeing all the stats… i am screwed.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ooh, I hope it’s good :p</p>
