<p>Your awards and SAT scores put you over the top. Yes. The only reason you wouldnt get in is because it’s harvard and a crapshoot at this level.</p>

3

<p>Are you good enough to play tennis for Harvard? If so, I’d say you’re definitely in. If not, you’ve still got a great shot. Perfect SAT’s and SAT II’s are awful nice ; ) best of luck!</p>

<p>Ohhhh man, you should be shaking in your boots. That freshman year B+ might really trash you.</p>

<p>Ha, ha. Assuming this is real (which I doubt) you’re probably in. Let’s be honest here.</p>
