Demographical wise, you have a very good chance. As a fellow Harvard student, I can say that you rank among many of my top peers. I'm sure Harvard will admit you, but the ivies are sooo unpredictable nowadays, it's hard to tell. I really hope you make it though. I like your grades and test scores, although I don't understand how your school uses the GPA system though. It must only based upon percentages. Your extracurriculars show that you're dedicated, but you might have been better off just to stick to a few of your top guns than give a laundry list of clubs. Good Luck!!!!!!
