<p>I haven't taken my SAT test yet. So I just wanted to ask what you think about my chances based on my extracurricular activities and IB score.
I am taking the IB diploma in an Australian high school (currently yr 11)
My subjects and score are:
- Physics HL 7
- Math HL 7
- Chinese HL 7
- English SL 6
- Geography SL 7
- Chemistry SL 7</p>

<p>My extracurricular activities are:
- state women's senior golf team: 3 yrs
- state junior girl's golf team: 3 yrs
(possibly will soon be the captain of the team)
- golf handicup 3, played for 6 yrs (with continuous competition records at state level, and a few national competitions)
- international club captain 2 yrs
- Environmental club 3 yrs
- choir 3 yrs
- piano grade 6
- Junior School tutoring 2 yrs
- involved in student2student program (tutoring kids with reading difficulties over the phone)
- Volunteered for Cancer council fundraising and Heart Foundation events...</p>

<p>What do you think? Is Harvard reachable for me.
I know I haven't taken the SATs yet, but it would be great If you could tell me about what score would allow me the chance to get into these schools along with my other scores.</p>

<p>Without an SAT/ACT score, it’s impossible to know if you’re within Harvard’s range. You should ask again when you have a score. Until then, there’s not enough information to gage if you would be a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>Thanks, I’ll do that. I am taking it within a month anyway.</p>

<p>See: <a href=“http://www.provost.harvard.edu/institutional_research/CDS_2011-2012_Final.pdf[/url]”>http://www.provost.harvard.edu/institutional_research/CDS_2011-2012_Final.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>According to Harvard’s 2011-2012 Common Data Set, bottom of page 8, Harvard’s 25th percentile is 2080, while Harvard’s 75th percentile is 2380.</p>

<p>To be a competitive applicant, you need a score in the middle to high end of Harvard’s range. Best of luck to you.</p>
