What are my chances of getting into Harvard? (Brownie points if you give more tips!)

Your story, although quite heartwarming, is fairly typical for most immigrants. There will be thousands of kids applying with similar stories.

Take my advice: continue to work hard and seek your dharma. You will likely be rejected at all the ivies, but this will only make you more determined.

Instead of focusing on Harvard and Stanford, look at other schools where you could do well and get into med school.
