Sorry, it’s too early to know your chances. You’ve got just about a whole year ahead of you and a lot can change. If you applied right now, though, I don’t think you’ve make the cut for the Elliott School. Your GPA/SAT is too low and while you have a lot of EC’s, not many translate to an interest in international affairs. I can’t speak to your chances as a fine arts applicant, either, as I don’t know a whole lot at what goes into their decision there.

Keep plugging away, get your GPA and SAT up, and check back here in 9 months or so.

Anything is possible, provided that I got into Harvard by getting a 900 on SAT, 25 ACT, 0 AP classes, 400/450 class rank, middle-class white person.

@qwxmntklp Yes, MUN fits into that category. If International Affairs is where you really want to be, then I’d also suggest some sort of internship or community service that’s related.

@judbudruddud Yes, “anything’s possible,” especially since I don’t work on the Admissions counsel and can’t say anything for certain. However, just because something incredibly improbable happens doesn’t mean you should give false hope to people. And as far as someone with the stats you’ve listed getting Harvard, I’d want some proof of that and/or to be made aware of the actual reason said person was accepted (if all those stats are true, the only thing I can imagine is that someone in their family donated a large sum of money to the university).
