<p>harvard is very rank conscious. if you aren't in the top 10 in your class, don't waste your time applying. truly.</p>

<p>You seem to have extremely diverse interests but it very much depends on how long that you have been doing these things for. If you did them for like one year, then it would come off as you were doing it just for the sake of doing it.</p>

<p>I suggest that you retake the SAT (if you can)--I think that it would help.</p>

<p>Also in response to smallfishbigpond, you never know with different schools, they might have different grading standards. Also, if they don't rank then they would never know. But, if a a lot of people who are applying from your school have really good GPA's then you might be in trouble.</p>
