<p>I'm in the top 20 percent; medical magnet school</p>
<p>3.77 unweighted GPA
4.01 weighted GPA (95.444)
probably 700+ on all 3 SAT IIs</p>
<p>Basically, what type of ACT score should I be getting for Harvard?</p>
<p>(I know this will help....I'm Hispanic...lmfao)</p>
<p>What? Not another my chances thread?</p>
<p>Honestly.....34+ for "Phew...I'm in the clear"</p>
<p>32-33 for "Hmm...I'm on the bubble."</p>
<p>What about EC's?</p>
<p>Top 20% is very bad for Harvard (I know it's a magnet school... but still). I don't think you stand much of a chance if you don't have a hook even if you get a 36.</p>
<p>sr6622 (or anyone else), what kind of comment would a 30-31 be?</p>
<p>That would be: "Hmmm....A bit on the lower side, I wonder if my ECs will get me in?"</p>
<p>darnit:-)</p>
<p>What if your ECs aren't like not "nationally" known, but are odd. Like I do Indian (Subcontinent) Dance for my school and for festivals? I'm sure I could write a paper on it (I'm not Indian). </p>
<p>Also, my HOSA chapter is combining with another chapter, and we are knitting for the nursing homes. I think I could write how knitting for other people led me to unlock a hidden hobby.</p>
<p>Bump!!!! :-)</p>
<p>You haven't told us much, and what you have told us is a bit under par for Harvard. But then again, you are Hispanic. Your ACT should be at least a 30.</p>
<p>now I'm thinking:</p>
<p>"Hmmm...glucose should proabably chill out about his/her chances b/c he/she has posted WAY too much and will go INSANE if he/she doesn't stop."</p>
<p>Be calm and see what happens</p>
<p>"should be at least a 30."</p>
<p>Without any great ECs?</p>
<p>I doubt that you are going to get into Harvard with just a decent GPA, SAT, SAT II's, ACT, and being Hispanic. If that is all you have, then I doubt any ACT, even a perfect score, would mean much. Now with the right application and at least a 30 on the ACT, you'd be looking fine. But if your banking on getting a great score on the ACT to get into Harvard, then your uninformed. Maybe you should tell us more about your EC's and everything. So far, all I know is that you are Hispanic, in the top 20% of your class, and have a decent GPA. We need more info...Anyway, the ACT isn't going to do much of a difference.</p>

<p>See, all my clubs seem trivial, though I'm very involved and work hard.</p>
<p>Your GPA seems low to me. Even with a perfect score on the ACT, you would have a pretty high chance of getting rejected. I would not put any guarantees on Harvard. I think you need outstanding essays and recs to get in.</p>
<p>36 is almost a necessity to have a slim chance.</p>
<p>oh, wow....I mean I was just looking at the 25% and 75%.... :-</p>
<p>hey ur on cc during stats!! ^_^ good luck on harvard!</p>
<p>I'm really sorry but, you can kiss harvard goodbye.</p>
