<p>you definitely have a shot, but remember, Dean Fitzsimmons hand picks his classes to the slightest detail. Harvard could have 3 full classes of kids and not drop one ounce of talent, diversity, and uniqueness of applicants. So as they said in the movie 21, how do you jump off the page? show your passion! if you need help with essays let me know</p>

<p>Slushy- your scores are great. You have to highlight your need to work (was it a family business?) If so, in your essay you need to talk about your family’s struggles and how you pitched in. Also what are some of your passions- you need to articulate some of these very clearly. Harvard not only wants the top scores but they want kids with clear ambitions and visions of what they want to accomplish, particularly as it relates to improving the well being of our society. Spend some time brain storming about this and clarify a compelling narrative for yourself</p>
