I am thinking I would like to go to Harvard, mostly because they have excellent programs in the sort of thing I like (mythology, philosophy.) In fact, they are one of the only schools I know of that had a Folklore and Mythology concentration. What do ya'll think my chances are, and would an EA app help? I know EA isn't as good as ED, but I would be showing clear interest.

Extracurricular Info: I'm a pretty good writer.

I run Cross-Country (varsity, 4 years.) on a team that was state runner-up my freshman and sophomore years. I'm pretty out-of-shape now, though.

Academic Team Captain

Eagle Scout, community service

Church youth leader

Forensics (Impromptu) 3rd in District, 7th in Region 2004

Almost certainly a NMS

Presidential Scholar wannabe

9 or so APs by graduation, 8 in the Senior Year. My school sucks like that

I have random church/scouts/mythology/history awards that I don't feel like listing.
