<p>You’re one of the most impressive applicants I’ve seen… I’d wager you’ll get both.</p>

<p>I think you have next to no chance</p>

<p>of getting rejected. :)</p>

<p>I think both of the two previous opinions forget that it is Harvard we are talking about…
I’d say you have great chances, but (and there always is a but) with Harvard no one knows. Maybe you will get in, maybe you will not…as far as academics and extracurricular activities are involved, I don’t think you can do anything to improve them - everything seems great. Just make sure you don’t bomb your essays - they are REALLY important. This is the piece of your application that makes you 3D and brings you out of the pages. I’m sure Harvard could fill up its class with 4.0/2350+/club presidents, but it doesn’t for a reason - no one wants a herd of robots. So show your personality, show them who you are and use your essay space wisely.</p>

<p>About UVA - I will be hugely surprised, if you don’t get in. ;)</p>

<p>Your ECs are unique (and quite awesome) but you should probably apply to more than two schools. You may not get into Harvard, and not that there’s anything wrong with UVA, but your applying to only two colleges makes me worry that you haven’t spent enough time looking at other schools. You may find one you love even more than both. I could be wrong.</p>

<p>Wow… I wish I any of that :slight_smile: I mean, they should accept you. You even sound like you have a personality (shocker, among Asian overachievers :P) If they don’t, I don’t know what the world has come to. But I can’t say anything for sure.</p>

<p>Congrats on your achievements to date. I’m glad you’re applying SCEA b/c while you seem impressive here, your profile also matches many students who are rejected/deferred. Since you’re accomplished in mathematics and analysis, then you should also know that the odds are still stacked against you and I would advise you to have other applications ready to submit. Good luck nonetheless.</p>

<p>chancellor2012: I’m going to go out on a limb here. Are you from Virginia? Hence, the choice between instate tuition at UVA or the equivalent tuition at Harvard based upon your family’s need? If that’s true, you might want to also look at colleges that offer similar aid, such as Yale and Princeton.</p>

<p>If you don’t get in, college admissions is messed up.</p>
