<p>Doesn’t look like many solid ECs. And hard to say without any SAT. So far not good.</p>
<p>Have to agree with dblazer. And fyi, everyone is trying to score perfect 2400. Doesn’t necessarily mean things will happen your way. And even with a perfect score, as an international, you need much more than that. I’d recommend applying to less competitive schools.</p>
<p>You guys are kiddind me right? amyharvard, don’t stress out. Your stats are amazing. Ofcourse it wont hurt your chances. Harvard knows that cultures really differ around the world. Also, a 2400 SAT for an international is NICE! You have decent chances to get in. Work hard on your essays. Ivy leagues tend to be a hit or miss. Make sure to apply to more than harvard and dont forget to apply to some safety schools. But with your stats , the “safety” school would be hell of a school!!! The only thing for sure, is that you will get a really good quality of education.
Also, if you want to get in Harvard so badly, don’t forget you can go somewhere else first, and then apply as a transfer student</p>
<p>^ He said he is “trying” to score a 2400, which is an ambiguous statement. That could mean a) he gets ~2350 every practice test and is trying to hit that 2400 or b) he is scoring 1500-2000 and is struggling. We don’t really know so none of us can give an accurate chance.</p>
<p>metaxa13,really thanks a lot for your motivating comment 
,it really means a lot.yes i will also apply in state universities but harvard is my goal.and to everyone,i am in 12 grade now and i will improve my ec’s more and will make sure i get perfect 2400(i get~2200 on practise test) I am gonna participate in math olympiad and astro olympiad on 24th sep.so thats also gonna be on my ec list. so wish me luck,lol.<br>
PS:hope is the way to go</p>
