Played at Carnegie Hall in 9th and 11th grade, 3rd place semi-professional Steinway piano competition (100$), Finalist at Columbia University National Speech and Debate competition.

Teacher Rec 2: Great, she is my advisor for two of my clubs and she helped edit many of the papers I write. She likes me.
Counselor: Generic, she knows me okay
Additional: Here's the fun part, a Harvard Professor whom I took classes with is writing my rec. I'm kind of hoping it will act as a strong hook for Harvard Admissions.</p>

<p>Then again, I'm asian and male. Lol.</p>

<p>Hooks: majoring in social sciences, Harvard professor rec.</p>

<p>Chance me! In reality I'm just worrying about my ethnicity and my GPA/School Rank</p>

<p>Quick addition: I do competitive sailing. However, not Hook-level competitive</p>

<p>Chica, how is it possible that you even accomplished all this? Amazing! I’m guessing you took the most rigorous course load available at your school, so in that case, I think your chances are mighty fine. Your GPA is worrisome, but even if it were a 4.0 you still wouldn’t be guaranteed a place at Harvard. At this point, you can’t change it, your class rank, or your ethnicity (not that you ever could) so don’t stress over them. Worrying won’t make anything better, so why do that to yourself? Like I said, I think you have a good chance, but Harvard is only one school. You will do amazing things anywhere you go :slight_smile: Peace be with you!</p>
