I don't go to Harvard, but I know a lot of people who've gone to Harvard. You don't have extremely good chances. First of all the SAT is extrememly important and unless your score is very good nothing else matters much. Assuming you do well on the SAT's, your stats don't look very good. If you do get all A's (which is very difficult), then you have a shot b/c GPA and SAT are of primary importance. The extra-cirriculars aren't great and be aware that leadership positions are required in all of your activities. You do have several extra-cirriculars that are fine. There, however, needs to be something that stands out in your set of extra-cirriculars. For example, it seems as if you are a dedicated musician. If you display your position in multiple ensembles then that helps. Do what you can, and plans will change. You'll figure it out eventually.

What in the world are you doing on here? (directed to GAC1107)

Try not to burn yourself out in the first couple years, colleges know people change, and you first couple are only important for you GPA. Focus on thriving outside of school, too. You want your extra-curriculars to reflect personality and interest as well as dedication, so do something CREATIVE. think about why you want to go to Harvard, and don't be too fixated. Things change, and if your only holding on to a lifetime dream, they will sense that.
