Stop laughing, you guys are all asses. Obviously, the OP just wants us to give him/her/it an accurate assessment of his/her/its chances.

Personally, I think the GPA is a bit on the low side and your SAT scores are rather lacking. Most people need to get perfects five times, or at the very least, four, to get a good shot at Harvard and alas, you've only got three.

Still, I think you're very competitive, especially having taken AP Ebonics. I'm in it now and I've gotta say, it's my hardest class. Almost as hard as AP Phys Ed*.

So best of luck!

*It's funny b/c at my school, for PE, you can choose to take Advanced Personal Fitness (APF) as a PE course (similar to choosing tennis or floor hockey), and people always mistake it for AP Fitness.

AP Napping is definitely my hardest course. Hate it when then bell rings in the middle of a good dream.

Is it better to have two humanities teachers or to have a humanities teacher recomendation and then a bio teacher recomendation (even though you got a 3 on the bio AP test??)

Dude, no chance at all. Seriously. You only got a perfect score three times on the SAT?! What is wrong with you?!


And everyone knows the only people who get into Harvard are those with 5.0 GPAs.

Couseload is okay, but your GPA is really low. Hopefully your SAT's will compensate. You are lacking in extra-curriculars as well. However, being transgendered might be a compelling story for AdComs, but they may take it as a story meant to inspire pity.

Overall, good chances.

I like his other stats better:

Quote:
i am a half swedish half mexican male applying to northern virginia community college

i have a 0.8 GPA and have never taken an AP or honors course

in the SAT i got a 200 in math a 270 in critical reading and a 230 in writing with a 3 essay

i have failed a couple classes, including gym, twice. in fact the only reason im graduating is because my uncle is a doctor and he agreed to help me out by diagnosing me as mentaly retarded so that i coul qualify for the special needs diploma.

so what are my chances?
