It's always possible, assuming he writes good essays, etc. There are many other excellent schools though, schools that aren't quite so ridiculously selective.

kua: Agree with fhg, in that it depends on essays, but it's not too likely given that Harvard admitted only 8% this year, and most of them were class vals with a similar, if not much higher, SAT. Get some good safeties and matches, and then hope for the best and no doubt the result will be favorable!

My converted ACT score gives me level 3.

I was accepted by UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC, and NYU. Also, i was waitlisted by Stanford and Brown.

haha yup....had a really really tough life story, but has certainly made the most of every opportunity! Goes to a very competitive HS as well, so was definitely well prepared. I'm anxious to hear the final decision!

My number 1 choice is Stanford followed by Columbia and of course the other Harvard, Yale dream schools. My SATs are in the 2000-2100 range but I have a lot going for me as far as extra curriculars and other honors/accomplishments. I would really appreciate if someone like MissyJoe or anybody else can offer me some more indepth information on how they pulled of such a successful acceptance without perfect SATs.

Thanks
