<p>You should wait more than 6 mins before you start demanding answers.</p>

<p>are jews considered a URM? i don't think they are but if so then i'd say he's in.
otherwise it isnt so certain. the music EC's are there, but they don't seem as well rounded (the other EC's don't seem to be as notable, with a couple exceptions)
his GPA and SATs are great, but so are a lot of other applicants'
i'd say that it is well within reach, its just a matter of what the school is looking for/the rest of the applicant pool.</p>

<p>No i meant to emphasize that it will probably hold him back cuz he's jewish.</p>

<p>I know there will be at least 1000 other applicants with better sat scores and 20,000 with the same sats! mad annoying.</p>

<p>carnegie hall!!! congrats to your friend. I think he is a little less than competitive at harvard with his lack of hardcore ECs, but the music thing is definitely impressive, and so are his scores. it's a reach for everyone, but he has a pretty good shot. </p>

<p>chance me back?
