Just Another "Chances" Thread for Art person :)

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>Hey. I've already posted this in a couple other forums; I'd just like to hear whether people on each thread think I have a chance at any of these schools. I guess Harvard is the unlikeliest of all...but anyway, here goes.</p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.7 W: 5.4 (rumors that i may be salutatorian)
I have made A's in most classes, but i'm weak in math: C in alg2, B in IB math studies1 and B in honors chemistry, B in IB math studies2. Still taking honors calc next year though.</p>

<p>my major passion is continental philosophy. debate has been my outlet. likely going to major in it.</p>

<p>old SAT: 780v 670m
(plan to take new one next year, hoping for 700m, 800v, 750-800w)
750 US history
770 literature
800 french
taking bio soon (expect 700?)</p>

<p>past APs:
euro 5
french 5
french lit 5
expected scores:
english 5
US hist 5
psych 5 (self studied)
english lit 4-5 (self studied)
bio 4-5 (self studied)</p>

<p>honors: check out some of my art here: <a href="http://artattack.to/display.php?artist=1000001004%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://artattack.to/display.php?artist=1000001004&lt;/a>
-expected national AP scholar
-regional gold key for art
-national silver key for art (congressional art award pending. crossing fingers!)
-art exhibited at coconut grove women's club twice and at Miami Art Museum once
-3rd best speaker at Florida Novice State in Lincoln-Douglas debate
-ranked 1st nationwide on French exam (division for native speakers)
-named junior scholar at my school
-national merit semi by senior yr
-co-editor and co-founder of school's literary magazine, Encore (some of my art is in it)
-vice president of debate club</p>

<p>ECs: long-term job tutoring french and english
long-term member of creative writing club
spending 4 weeks at Pratt Institute for art classes
short Lincoln-Douglas debate seminar this summer too
unfortunately not more than 100 volunteer hours. hope to catch up on those during the summer.</p>

<p>Sorry for how long this is....please be honest with me. I know it's sort of unusual to be setting sights on Ivies with crappy math skills like mine, but i feel that i may be able to compensate for it.
By the way I have legacy at Harvard; how does that impact my chances there?
Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>I think you have as good a chance as any of the rest of us that have posted stats here.
Good luck!</p>

<p>correction...actually i've got nearly 200 volunteer hours, but they're not spectacular deeds or anything.</p>

<p>so....would it be wise not to apply EA, and instead study for Math IC and get a good score on it to redeem myself? I don't know...Turns out there's no congressional art award and likely no a debate seminar. Oh well. how does the rest fare? and again, how much will legacy count?</p>
