<p>HOWEVER: I have fairly strong criminal background and I don't know if it will hurt my chances
I was caught shoplifting 4x, I've been arrested for the possession of marijuana and alcohol. My license was also suspended until I reach 21 due to the zero-tolerance rule on drinking and driving. The biggest problem really is that I'm being tried for arson right now, it's not a big deal and I didn't due it, but I don't know what the colleges will say... :{</p>

<p>You have to understand that Harvard accepts the best of the best… Even people with your stats get rejected… I think the criminal record might be the deal breaker I’m sorry… But look, try anyways, as I said, those are amazing stats</p>

<p>I would like to point out that the “Computer Science Olympiad” I found from google is a college-level competiton. The high school one is USA Computing Olympiad (USACO), and it has no quarterfinals. Could you possibly clarify on “Computer Science Olympiad quarterfinals”?</p>

<p>When did you have time to get all these amazing scores, grades, extra-curriculars etc. with all the time spent shoplifting, smoking, drinking, burning down houses, etc.??</p>
