It's good! Keep working hard and remember that these universities look at your grades but most importantly, they want to make sure you took advantage of all the opportunities you had to take a challenging course load, AP courses, etc. In addition to requiring that you take SAT subject tests, etc they look for your profile as a strong leader. So don't overlook your extra curricular activities and community work.

I compleey disagree. If you have a 1500 on ur sat and everything else is perfect, it only means ur school has obvious grade inflation. Meaning an average student at ur school is a below average student in national comparative. Grades matter that's why when you look at admission factors...sat and GPA are the toppers. It's hard to face but it's true.

They mostly look at your racial preference. being a non-legacy white male is vorbotton.

Yes, Harvard is a great school but there is more in life than just going there because its Harvard. Personal experience: Got accepted to Ivy league East Coast Schools but decided to go to the Midwest because of the environment and the opportunities the Midwest School offered me
