What are my chances?

Test Preparation
1

<p>So, I just received my scores from the SAT CR: 680 M: 660 W:730 and an essay of 10 (total= 2070). It was the highest score received out of everyone that took it at my school as well.</p>

<p>So, I was thinking, suppose for some reason or another I couldn't bring that score up any higher on the second try... do I still have a good chance at being accepted to Harvard (my "dream" school without a doubt) based upon my circumstances?</p>

<p>I'm a female Caucasian from a rather poor city.
Valedictorian with a GPA of 4.51
I'm in about 12 extra-curricular activities and hold leadership positions in just about all of them.
I take all honors/AP classes and am taking a college course over the summer in math.</p>

<p>I'm just beginning to worry so much that I'm going to fall short of something I've worked for all of my life, and over a stupid standardized test at that. Any opinions or suggestions? I'll appreciate any help I can get.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>there are many factors that go into harvard's admission.
last year nearly 50% of perfect SAT scorers were rejected from Harvard.</p>

<p>most of the people that apply to H are extremely smart.
just ask yourself, what would make the admission officer say, "wow, this girl is something else!"</p>

<p>stand out. thats the best way to catch people's attention.</p>

<p>For Harvard, I would definitely retake and aim for 2200+.</p>
