<p>decent chances…</p>

<p>go for it. I would recommend ED to Penn or something not as hard as harvard, because it doesn’t give any boost to you.</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice, still I don’t plan to ED anywhere only because I don’t think I want to make the commitment.</p>

4

<p>You have a good list. You have excellent qualifications, and I am certain you will get into several very good schools. You may not get into all of them, because there are a lot of others with similar achievements vying for the same spots–but you will do very well.</p>

<p>bump bump bump</p>

<p>Your ECs are pretty dull, and you are from CT of all places which will definitely hurt you. Competitive, but not compelling for ivies. UNC + G’Town are matches! (I live near UNC it’s a fabulous school! I’m applying EA as well!)</p>

<p>Chance back…</p>

<p>I was under the impression that harvard uses a restrictive early action program. A representative from the school told me that you can only apply EA to harvard, although it is not binding.</p>

<p>You have to read the rules carefully–you can often apply SCEA but also apply early on a “rolling” basis to state universities. I don’t remember specifically what Harvard allows.</p>
