<p>Academically you’re definitely in the range. But chancing for Harvard is almost impossible. It is so selective that everyone is a reach. It’s hard to know if you fit the bill of what they HAPPEN to be looking for. You’re in the running, but you’re not a shoe in.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a high chance, but as KellMill said with harvard you never know.</p>

4

<p>I know, harvard you just get in if you’re lucky. I’d like to hope I have a chance, but I know many 2400 4.0’s that have been rejected.</p>

<p>Are you a senior or junior?</p>

<p>I am a senior</p>

<p>^Outstanding, good man! By your basis, I am most certainly a “shoe in.” But wait, I only cured breast cancer though, is that good enough for Harvard? I also did not do any of the economic strategizing on how to efficiently market the medicine required for the recovery process. Oh bloody hell!</p>

<p>You’re definately in the competition … just like the several other THOUSANDS of applicants competing w/ you. Harvard is so selective and so random, and it’s almost impossible to give chances.</p>
