I have had a guy who used to do admissions for Harvard look at my essay and he thought it was very good.</p>

<p>Recs:
I am getting a very good rec from my Precalc teacher and am getting one from my US History teacher that should be as good if not better.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a pretty good chance, MSB is a little easier to get into than the College, your numbers are very good, aside from GPA, which is a little low, but I think if your essays are up to par, you’ve got a great shot, if not EA then regular.</p>

<p>You’ve got a fair, but not extraordinary, shot, because your GPA is underwhelming compared to what comes rolling across the admissions officers’ desks. But I think your curriculum and ECs look good.
Good luck!</p>
