<p>By itself it’s not going to keep you OUT of a top school if you have what they like to call a “compelling narrative.” Is it especially competitive for Harvard? No, but that’s not the only great school out there. That being said, I’d be looking to retake and focus on CR–below 650 is kind of low, and you’re almost there. Regardless, you are going to end up at a good school–speaking as a parent and person who’s been around awhile. :-)</p>
