<p>I live in North Carolina and I have been dreaming about going to Harvard for a while. I would like to be a music major and I believe that the Harvard/NEC joint program would be a great fit. I also love Cambridge, and my family is from New England, so I have grown up hearing great things about the area.</p>
<p>I am in the top 5(?)% of my class (of 315). I have been told that my communication skills are impeccable. I also believe myself to be very intelligent. That being said, since I began high school I have let my grades slip. I used to be a straight-A student. I have now gotten a standard B, an Honors B, an AP B. and an AP C. That being said my weighted GPA should still be about 4.7 right now. </p>
<p>I have won many solo cello awards and have participated in over 20 orchestras and clinics around the state. I study with a college professor and am doing very well with my music extra-curricular activities. I also plan on volunteering starting this Summer. I have also gotten 99 percentile on my PSAT. When I apply myself I can procure immaculate essays. I plan on double majoring in business and I know an alumnus who has given a lot of money to the school. I know that this thread is cliche, but would any of you mind helping me learn my chances of getting accepted into Harvard University?</p>
<p>I also participated in math competitions and a math program that tutored elementary school students. I am active in the Jewish community in the area as well.</p>
<p>Use the What Are My Chances section for guessing games. But please, don’t procure any essays! Plagiarism is frowned upon. Since Harvard doesn’t have a business major - don’t mention that in your procured essays.</p>
<p>Your chances are still low as it is for everyone. Score high on your SATs, continue getting good grades, spend time on your essays, and most importantly apply to a wide range of schools. Don’t get fixated on one school.</p>
<p>I’m not sure that “knowing” an alumnus willing to give money and being related to an alumnus have the same weight. Also, when giving money, that alumnus needs to know that a few hundred bucks isn’t gonna get you in. We are talking about donating +$250,000 and creating student facilities. Is your alumnus willing to go to that extent to get you in? Also, the grades that you have in your weighted classes will hurt you. It will show that you cannot handle a college curriculum. What is your unweighted GPA?</p>
