<p>solid grades and ec's
you have a chance
maybe something that stands out more though
but you're pretty good</p>

3

<p>urm, so i agree you stand a chance.</p>

4

<p>yes, very fortunate that you're a URM</p>

5

<p>you are in at harvard, and anywhere else you apply to, especially if harvard needs another cello player for their band.</p>

<p>how do you know you're a national merit scholar already? They used to announce that late in the 2nd semester of senior year.</p>

7

<p>well I dont know if I'm accomdation, semifinalist, or finalist yet, but that all falls under the category of national merit scholar. And I think you find out this fall sometimes, not quite as late as 2nd sem sr. year.....</p>
