@moscott:

Virtually 90% of those accepted were in the 3.8 to 4.0 range for GPA. Same for ACT 30+. Those who land in both categories make up 95% of the chart…

Yes, but you cannot tell how much red is hidden beneath those dots at the top, as the text below the graph says. This chart doesn’t make it at all possible to tell you what your chances are with those scores because we cannot accurately estimate how many got denied. So you cannot really use it to answer your original question. It would be simpler if Harvard just produced a few tables, but of course they don’t really want to reveal that kind of detail.
