<p>Heya, this is not really a chance me thread, but more of a question...</p>
<p>I'm an international student, I was born in Israel and lived there until I was 13, and then I moved to Thailand and lived here for 6 years. </p>
<p>My last SAT score was 2060, but I'm taking it again this weekend so hopefully it will be much more.</p>
<p>My question is, even with a score of 2060 - can I get into Harvard?
I'm taking the IB diploma, and I chose the most challenging courses: HL - Maths, Physics, Chemistry. SL - English A1, Business and Management, Spanish Ab Initio.</p>
<p>I'm predicted a 44-45/45 for IB. I don't really know how to covert this to GPA but I know these scores are excellent, especially for the courses I chose.</p>
<p>I do A LOT of ECs:
-Initiator and President of Amnesty International Club in my city (4 years)

-That's all I can remember at the moment. I'm sure there are more, I just can't remember all I did in the last 6 years. My school is very big on stuff like that so I get lots of opportunities.</p>
<p>I have excellent recommendations, won lots of academic awards EVERY year since I've been in this school (Best in the department of... English, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Business and Management, Languages [Spanish], and overall Academic Excellence award)</p>
<p>I've got enough money to not apply for financial aid, and I think I have a rather exotic background - I mean, they don't see many Israelis that lived in Thailand, I bet...
I've got pretty great ECs, pretty great IB scores, especially considering the subjects I take, and the SATs are not THAT bad...</p>
<p>But I know that 2060 is lower than what most people in Harvard have, and I'll try my best this weekend to up my score. I didn't take my SATII yet, but I don't think they'll be a problem, considering how I do on the subjects (Physics and Maths) in school.</p>
<p>But, say that I try to get in with that score of 2060 - do I still have a chance at Harvard?
(hmm, maybe this was a chance me thread..?)</p>
