It sounds like you have a pretty sweet resume, the only major weaknesses I see are your CR & W SAT and ACT scores. Everyone knows that Harvard is going to use the SAT’s and ACT’s as their most important decision factors because they are going to have the cream of the crop applying. According to the CollegeBoard’s College Search, the middle 50% of Harvard’s successful applicants had SAT Reasoning scores that ranged from 690-780 for all three areas. The middle 50% ACT composite scores ranged from 31-34. For the most part you are on the bottom side. =( You would have a much better chance at a slightly lower demanding university such as Cornell. Hope this helps.
