<p>Connections: My personal high school counselor went to Harvard. So did two of my dad's really good friends (they're both my sister's godfathers). Also, one of those friends dad's is on the board of directors at Harvard.</p>

<p>If you mean Harvard's board of trustees and that individual goes to bat for you, it may be meaningful. Counselors that went there and friends that have not given millions are not meaningful.</p>

<p>You are in the running along with 80% of applicants.</p>

<p>unfortunately you cannot use your dad's friends to count as legacy. Try to pursue the friend on the board of trustees though. Your chances are as good as anybody's right now.</p>

<p>Its going to come down to luck in the end. You have a lot of good stats and EC's but nothing that jumps off the page above other Harvard applicants...</p>
