Idaho will definitely help, especially if you were born there. Test scores are at the average, however ECs and awards might be typical for Harvard applicants. You might want to concentrate on reaching a state top award or regional prize to distinguish yourself, and give Harvard a reason for needing you. And do explore the many facets of other schools to see if there would be other matches for you.
