<p>This is an interesting application. It is full of unique activities or trips that only a home-schooler can more easily do. I don't know if the GPA in homeschool will be relevant to colleges, but Ill give you the benefit of the doubt by saying its excellent.</p>
<p>I would suggest trimming some things like boy/ eagle scouts away from the ECs, because they aren't as prestigious as they used to be anymore. If you are really involved in any of your activities, consider basing an additional essay over it (or maybe on those Egypt trips!).</p>
<p>Because you are a homeschooler, and Harvard can't easily determine the difficulty of the course you take at your community college, I would say your SAT is even more important than a regular high school applicant. 2250 is not terribly competitive for Harvard, and in fact some people would say 2250 is only around the entry-score of schools like Harvard. And without AP scores to gauge some of your classes, the SAT might be even more stressed upon.</p>
<p>Overall, I think your application is more unique than most others, but your standarized scores are lacking (too few scores to judge you with, and 2250 is considered probably medium-low for Harvard). Find a way to overcome that with your essays, and I guarantee that your application will look more appealing than Harvard's other applicants.</p>
<p>For now, though, I think you only have a bit more chance to get into Harvard than the average Ivy applicant. Its still a Reach, but not a too Distant Reach.</p>
<p>Well, Sasoo8 gives an excellent argument, but you might be able to prove the rigor of your courses with high AP/SAT II scores, and bringing your SAT I up or taking the ACT and scoring well on that will certainly help you. Until you do that, then I can't really judge you, although you look like you are in excellent shape to apply after your tests are over with.</p>
