Lopsided Transcript?

Colleges & Universities Harvard University

<p>I’m a rising senior and a Harvard hopeful and I was wondering if my transcript would stop me from getting in. I know transcripts aren’t the be all end all, but I think they are the most important part of admissions. Throughout my high school career, I’ve taken difficult classes in all subjects, but I’ve excelled most greatly in maths/sciences (high 90s). However, my grades in history and English are not incredibly impressive (low 90s). My average is a 94.7 UW, and I go to a competitive school. Will my lopsidedness be my downfall?</p>

<p>Thanks to all who reply!</p>

<p>Are you serious? Low 90s are not a lop-side. The way you were writing I cold have sworn you would’ve at least said 80s. Based on your transcript alone you seem to meet the pre-requisite.</p>

<p>From your description, your transcript will not be your downfall. If you can believe MIT, many applications fall flat because of lackluster teacher rec’s: [Writing</a> Recommendations | MIT Admissions](<a href=“http://mitadmissions.org/apply/prepare/writingrecs]Writing”>How to write good letters of recommendation | MIT Admissions)</p>
