<p>It wouldn't hurt, (except the app. fee). If you don't try, you would never get in.</p>

<p>Chances are slim, but if you can afford it, why not.</p>

4

<p>Yeah. It's $65, and I think trying won't hurt me. Thanks</p>

<p>you're joking, right?
I don't see how anyone can get into harvard with those scores and ecs, regardless of how long you've lived in the US.
I'm sorry, but its my honest opinion.</p>

<p>Actually, I've met a URM who got into Yale with a 1250 SAT score. Go for it, the only thing you'll lose is the app fee.</p>

7

<p>yea i would say like a .0001% chance of getting in, but hey, ya never know!</p>

<p>my dad tells me that you're chances of success aren't based on what college you actually go to but the schools you try for. you may as well apply to harvard, the worst thing that could happen is that you don't get in. Do you have legacy, supposedly harvard loves that
good luck</p>

<p>can't hurt to try if the application fee won't hurt you.</p>

10

<p>You won't get into Harvard, but if it makes you feel better, apply anyway.</p>

<p>SAT scores are damn low, but what is ur class ranking? A 3.78 is pretty good- gpa wise, you should be fine. Maybe retake the SATs, but definatly apply. Try finding an angle to use to apeal to the Amissions officers, and maybe they'll go for it. Get some killer recs.</p>
