<p>Being a legacy should help you a lot, but still, in terms of applicants accepted to Harvard, your EC’s are still considered weak. Your SAT scores are amazing. If you have excellent essays + pump up your EC’s, I’d say Harvard could be a slight match.</p>

<p>Harvard a slight match?</p>

<p>I’d still go reach, because it is for everyone…But don’t get me wrong you have a good chance w/ that legacy status!</p>

<p>with better EC’s, killer essays, and an excellent interview… I think he would have a slight match…</p>
