<p>You have a heavy course load and solid grades. What about ECs? What clubs? What community service? And you don’t have any SAT or ACT scores shared.</p>

<p>Harvard is very difficult for anyone, and a lot of luck is involved. But it seems like you might have a reasonable shot if everything else is strong. </p>

<p>My EC’s are mostly academic and community outreach with a few independent sports, some being science and math clubs, human rights and spanish clubs, and fencing. I’m also currently doing a program in which I’ll have 300 hours of independent community service at hospitals and fundraisers by the time I graduate high school. </p>

<p>As for my PSAT’s and SAT’s, I’ve only taken the PSAT at my school, with it not counting towards scholarship oppurtunities since I’m only a sophomore, and I got in the 90th percentile, but that was before I had the oppurtunity to sign up for SAT study sessions.</p>

<p>Harvard is a reach for everyone. it had a 6.9% acceptance rate this year. You have to have something special to bring to the table</p>

<p>I’d say you have a pretty good shot with those credentials :)</p>
