Student’s shouldn’t be thinking “spike” or “passion,” as those terms are often misunderstood in college admissions. Instead, think “expert.”
Selective colleges love to see students who are experts in something, so they look at your EC’s list for an activity that you’ve become an expert at due to the amount of time, energy and commitment you’ve spent on that activity. The idea being that your time, energy and commitment is a transferable skill that could be transferred to another activity in college or later on in life. So what have you become an expert in? I can’t quite tell from your EC list – maybe it’s there, but you haven’t highlighted it.

Does “conservatory pianist” really belong on this line ?
Lack of reported AP scores & SAT subject tests suggests that your academics are somewhat weak for Harvard when also taking into account your 32 ACT score.
P.S. I glanced at another one of your threads & noticed your strong pre-med interest & activities. Have you considered applying to WashUStL & to Emory University ? Rice in Houston ?
I would stop keeping track of your GPA so closely. If you meet a benchmark, it doesn’t matter as much as the other things in your application. Remember that Harvard is assembling an interesting class. It is not about a hierarchy of worthy individuals but how you can contribute to the mix. It really is impossible to predict. Make sure you have other schools you like and good luck!

Yes outdated by about 3 ( maybe more) years. Or we have different definitions of what a Match is. OP has avg stats, although they aren’t even interested in the schools you mentioned.
