Automatic reject? (NOT a chances thread, I promise)

I am not asking you to evaluate my chances as that is narly impossible, and getting feedback from a bunch of Harvard-obsessed high school kids would probably not be very beneficial. I just want to know if, based on my SAT II scores alone, would I be automatically rejected or is Harvard worth a shot?
My scores are/will be as follows:

Math IC: 660
Math IIC: 730ish
Chemistry: 750
Biology: 800(hopefully; haven’t actually taken it yet but bio is usually a strong subject for me)
Lit: 670
French: 680

These scores are pretty solid, but I know they are not competative at Harvard. Becuase of its amazing applicant pool, Harvard probably looks for any reason to reject someone. Are these scores high enough to make me a somewhat reasonable applicant (given other stronger parts of my application) or would I be better off increasing my chances and applying ED somewhere else?
