<p>put this in the “what are my chances?” thread </p>

<p>100% chance to get into harvard. There.</p>

<p>Btw, “SAT-ACT Test Preparation” isnt the best place to post a “chance me” thread.</p>

4

<p>Sorry, I didn’t know they had that option</p>

5

<p>Your GPA is great, but you need to raise your SAT for these schools. Great job!</p>

6

<p>Test scores are super low. If you can’t raise them, it’ll look like your school had extreme grade inflation. </p>

7

<p>Sorry, but I think your test scores are really too, too low for those schools especially since you say you prepped. Although you have a good GPA, your one AP score of a 3 along with the SAT/ACT scores will cause adcoms to think there is serious grade inflation at your school. And your class rank is also pretty low…I encourage you to look at other more realistic schools, while still throwing in a few reach applications, and please don’t overestimate what the AA bump will do for you. </p>
