<p>“Do I have a possibility of being admitted?”</p>

<p>Yes, but 35,000 students also have the same possibility!</p>

<p>You have just as much chance as anyone else. What you’ve listed is good, but to be honest a lot of what you’ve listed is irrelevant. You’ve won Most Outstanding History Student at your school. But there are 1,000s of students like you who are passionate about history.</p>

<p>Also, most admissions committees get annoyed with more than one additional letter of recommendation. Do both extra letters tell something unique, or are you possibly overdoing it?</p>

<p>^^ I agree about the extra letter of recommendation. Unless the U.S. Senator can attest to your potential as a scholar and student in a classroom situation, their recommendation could possibly dilute your (hopefully) other stellar rec’s.</p>

<p>Everyone has a possibility, young padawan.</p>

<p>You have a better chance of getting into Harvard than winning the Lottery.</p>

<p>The truth? Yes, you have a chance. Apply and find out. My son was accepted with a 3.67 GPA. Harvard took into consideration our circumstance and my son’s determination to succeed despite some very challenging family circumstances. People here were discouraging but he was accepted. Interestingly, Harvard rejected the candidates who graduated 1st and 2nd.</p>
