<p>Improve your english.</p>
<p>snipersas,when you learn any language or anything you are in a process of improvement for the rest of your life.so yeah i am and will continue to improve my english. Thanks for your concern i take it positively.</p>
<p>i dont find a lot of problems in your post relating to english save for a few typos. and also try building a great vocabulary with a lot of words and stuff like that. instead of repeating boring old words try synonyms.</p>
<p>and no i dont think the adcoms there consider such factors like stellar volunteering records for internationals especially if you are from Bangladesh. in all probability they will consider. </p>
<p>as far as harvard is concerned, im clueless(as is everyone else). they are unpredictable as hell. ive seen people with lower credentials get in at harvard and other ivies. while others with perfect scores are rejected too. the best we can say is give it a shot! nothing more can we assure. and do remember to apply to a variety of colleges and keep a good selection of matches ready at your disposal. and dont freak out. keep your cool bro:)</p>
