<p>It sounds like you might go to a private school that doesn’t have APs but has its own very challenging courses instead. If that’s true, your curriculum is more challenging than it looks.</p>
<p>Even with a great legacy like yours, I think you should try to increase your SAT score from what you had on your PSAT. Significantly.</p>
<p>I don’t think most of the Honors/Awards you listed count. You were what, 6, in 1999? Colleges care about your HS record. You could mention that your community service started early, but there isn’t that much space for awards on the ComApp and you’ll need to stick to HS. I’m pretty sure Harvard doesn’t care about book dedications, but if they do, please tell me, so I can call them up 
(My aunt dedicated one of her best selling books to me & my sister).</p>
<p>Harvard, like lotsa lotsa colleges, has places on the ComApp supplement for you to list alumni relations (I want to say every ComApp college, but I don’t know). On the supplement, they ask if any recent relatives have gone. So you don’t need to list out every relative of yours who has gone to Harvard since time immemorial. It sounds like you’ll just put down your grandparents, since your mother’s generation didn’t go, you said. If your family’s contributions to Harvard have been as significant as they sound, the reader of the app will recognize the name.</p>
