Oh and I can get a recommendation letter from Quebec’s Archbishop

I think your recommendation and profile would be better suited for Notre Dame, Georgetown, Holy Cross or Boston College.

That’s what I’ve been told by my school counselor as well but its a dream of mine to attend Harvard so I would really like to know if I have any chances to get accepted there :P.
(But thanks for your quick reply).

Your test scores are nearly perfect. That said, Harvard rejects many applicants each year with similar stats. What would your GPA be if you were to try to make it equivalent to the US scale?
Why do you want to go to Harvard? Is it just for the prestige factor? You should think a lot about similar schools in the US that may be easier to get into. Of course, you also have to factor in financial aid, but that’s a whole other topic.
Would you mind taking a look at my thread? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1830636-180-days-to-go-so-help-me-stay-sane-by-predicting-my-chances.html
