<p>You have about a 1 in 15 chance; you would need to show real passion in the things you have done. You are right that the SATI score doesn’t help you, but it doesn’t completely eliminate you either.</p>

<p>Firstly, I would like to point out that even though you were the president or vp of many things, Harvard has many of those. Not to discourage you, but pick something that you really love and have passion for (I know it can be hard to choose between all of them) and allow that to show through in your essays.</p>

<p>Secondly, Harvard ONLY accepted 6.9% of applicants in my class (last year). Let me repeat that. Harvard ONLY accepted 6.9% of applicants for the class of 2014. More importantly though, Harvard accepted 0% of students who did not apply.</p>

<p>Apply if you really want to come here and think that Harvard would be a great place for you.</p>
