i row crew at the state level for new delhi,India.I was in the top 4 of my class in 9th,top 3% of my class in sophomore year,but due to some problems i messed up my junior year(got only 51% marks ).Now I’m in the senior year.I’ve got 2000 on my SAT,and will give sat 2 in physics and math in november.It was awarded a certificate and cash prize for topping in english in my sophomore year.I have a pretty solid essay explaining why i got such low marks in 11th and how I overcame the setback .I have no other extra curriculars or achievements.Do I have a chance in Harvard?And also can you suggest anything i can do to improve my application?Your opinions will be much appreciated.Thanks.
