<p>Hi, I'm an Asian American girl from New York who is planning to apply to Harvard early. </p>

<p>SAT: 2400
ACT: 36 composite (but a 9 on writing)
SAT 2s: Math 2, 800; Chemistry, 800; US History, 770
APs: I am only reporting my 5s in Chemistry, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and Statistics
GPA: above a 4.0
RANK: school does not rank, but top 1% of 700+</p>

<p>ECS:
-Girl Scouts Bronze Award, Silver Award, Gold Award
-passed AMC as a soph and junior, scored a 6 on AIME last year
-4 years cross country, 3 years varsity
-wrote a book to teach Chinese speakers English and taught Chinese senior citizens at a local old age home English for 3 years
-tutored students for 4 years (paid + volunteer)

<p>That is all. My ECs have two main focuses: math and journalism, both of which I hope to pursue in college. The volunteer work mainly consists of me teaching what I enjoy. I really hope I get in early; Harvard has been my dream for so long. Please honestly chance me! I will be glad to chance you back if you want :)</p>

<p>Once again, ppl like you waste forum space and ask for praise/assurance :(</p>

<p>Ivy’s = lottery </p>

<p>You have a fair chance</p>

<p>I don’t know why you are asking this question because you have a great chance! Your SAT is perfect (literally) and so is your ACT. I don’t know what your unweight GPA is but I think you have a really competitive chance of getting in. Of course some perfect scorers like you still get turned down but that, I think, is rare. Just seal the deal with your essay and you should be a Harvard student!</p>

<p>Chance me?</p>

<p>Automatic reject because of USH score!</p>

5

<p>although im aware that your comment is meant to be sarcastic, do you think i should report another AP 5 in lieu of my USH score?</p>

6

<p>heres how to do it:</p>

<p>Put ALL scores on because the adcom will see that you took AP courses on your transcript and because you didnt send your scores the adcoms will think you scored less than a 3 or something</p>

7

<p>I can’t though…I’m out of room for scores on my common app (they only provide 8 spaces for SAT2s and APs) and I don’t want to add this info on a separate page because I don’t think adcoms want to see a slew of scores that are rather meaningless.</p>

8

<p>wait common app only has 8 spaces!?! ***, how does anyone report their scores then!</p>

9

<p>and why are you reporting only 4 AP scores then. You would have one open space. Also why report Calc AB if you already have BC.</p>

10

<p>@imsoambitious: yes, it is rather unfortunate</p>

<p>another question: would you use another page to report more scores?</p>

11

<p>I’m still debating which other AP score to include, although I don’t think it matters very much. I’ll most likely use my 5 in language and composition</p>

12

<p>A few of the APs I took are, imo, not worth space on my app (like psychology) so I would rather put calc ab, which I think carries more weight.</p>

13

<p>IIRC you have to send the OFFICIAL score report for AP. The self-report is just so that the adcom knows your classes I think</p>

14

<p>@soniccare: Your high school transcript shows adcoms your classes</p>

15

<p>But u still need to send official score report I thinks, I looked at my past score report and it has a chart asking for college name and code and $15 per report</p>

16

<p>Do I have a decent shot?</p>

17

<p>@SonicCare - You’re wrong. You only need to send official AP reports if you are accepted.</p>

18

<p>I agree that you should report all of your AP scores. I’ve heard that not reporting it will make the adcoms think you failed because they can clearly see you took the class.</p>

19

<p>@az Yes, I would use an additional section to list all of them. I think it will only help you, as it is not really that time consuming for an ad com to see it.</p>

<p>Despite the obscenity that the CC community will spew at me for this, I will put my money on you being a guaranteed accepted candidate. People, from my school, with slightly lower stats and only 2-3 solid EC got accepted last winter.</p>
