<p>Uhhh extracurriculars
-founded my own organization called HOPE which sends supplies such as clothing, toiletries, bedding, etc. to Latin American countries. We began with an orphanage in Haiti and branched out to Costa Rica this year. It all began after the 2010 earthquake there. Have done many events at school and at the summer camp where I work as a counselor/administrative assistant. We've also started clubs in elite private schools across the country (which send students to Harvard/ivies every year, so they'll be familiar with that). We started working with Feed My Starving Children, a famous organization which is now helping us get our supplies to Latin America. We are meeting with the president of it soon!

<p>Harvard is a reach for everyone, but your chances are as good as they get. Minor quibbles: SAT could be a bit higher, course rigor (but if you took hardest courseload and/or self-studied its fine.) You are a very qualified applicant, but it all comes down to luck and your essays. Like I said earlier, Harvard is a reach for nearly everyone, so don’t feel down if you don’t get in; I guarantee there will be lots of colleges clamoring for you. Good luck!</p>

<p>Like latitude said, Harvard is always a reach. Every year Harvard denies valedictorians and presidents of NHS and 2400 SAT scores. You are in the top of the applicant pool, but the pool is very large and everyone is gunning for the same few spots.</p>
