<p>I'm a junior, and I really want to go to Harvard since I was little (I visited the campus unofficially). I took the SAT two times, and my highest cumulative score was 1980 (650 for Math and Critical Reading and 680 for Writing). I intend on studying super hard this summer and take it in October, as well as the ACT. I already took three SAT Subject tests (660 Literature, 650 Math 1, and 570 French). I'm planning to take three subject test tomorrow (Biology M, Chemistry, and US History). In addition, I plan to take the subject tests in Physics and Math 2 in November. I don't really know what exactly I'll get on those tests, but I hope I get over 700!)
I took AP exams this year, but I don't know if I did that well on them. One quick question: do I have to submit my AP exam scores when I'm applying to colleges, or do I only have to once I get accepted? I took AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP English Language and Composition, AP Calculus AB, and AP US History. These were all this year, junior year. The other classes I took this year are Honors French 4, Honors Physics, and Microsoft Office.
The following are the classes I took in freshman and sophomore years:
Freshman - Honors Integrated Science
Honors Algebra 2
Honors French 2
Honors English 9
Diversified Health Occupations
Music Theory
World History
Health and PE</p>
<p>Sophomore - Honors English 10
Honors Biology
Honors Chemistry
Honors Geometry
Honors Pre-Calculus
Honors US History
Civics
Honors French 3
PE</p>
<p>The lowest grade I got was for Freshman PE, which was an A-. Otherwise, I have gotten As and A+'s.</p>
<p>I'm in the Key Club, and in senior year I'll be Secretary. I'm also in the Humanitarian Club, and I will probably have a leadership position in it (I acted as unofficial secretary, so maybe I'll be secretary, vice-president, or even president, I'm not sure). I got an award for being dedicated to the Humanitarian Club. I am on the school Math team, but we haven't made it into states or anything big like that. I will be a co-captain as a senior, so I want to try and improve the group and get more people to participate. I was in the Drama Club in the first half of sophomore year. I even had a minor role in one of plays. I quit the group because I realized that it wasn't something I was truly interested in. Question: Could I write on my college application that I joined to Drama Club because I was exploring my interests, and even though I was in one of the plays, I decided to quit because I wasn't interested?
I don't have a job, but I do volunteer work in the local emergency department. I do north average of three hours per week during the school year, and I've been doing up to 16 hours per week in summer since spring of my freshman year.
I don't have any major awards. I got some awards at school for achievements in various subjects. I got the Harvard Book Award this year. I also got inducted into the National Honors Society. I actually did get an award this year at school for perfect attendance all three years in high school, if that counts for something.
I expect my teacher recommendations to be pretty good, and my essay should be okay.
Obviously, my profile isn't that great. I just want to see whether I have even a miniscule chance at getting into Harvard. My ethnicity is Asian.
Thank you!
PS: My rank so far is second out of about 329 students, and my weighted GPA is about 4.2.</p>
