Im an asian male from the midwest. i got a 3.83 gpa but i lost the 4.0 due to hard classes, like freshman year i took ap physics b and honors precalculus, sophomore year i took ap calc AB and i got an A and a 5 on the ap, and other such hard courses...i got a 1550 on the sat, 800 on math, 750 on verbal, and im in debate club, and im doin this special event through this other club i do called Building with books where we raise money through fundraisers, do community service like registering voters for the election, and other stuff,including
i might do this event where i go to nepal this year as part of club and help build a school with the money the club raised, which is sort of like a charity/community club for two weeks, im playing the piano for ten years and i want to minor in it and send in a recording, and i got this nomination for the US olympic physics team in freshman year, im in nhs, ....what are my chances at harvard?

i think you have a very good chance...ivy leagues, especially harvard, wants students who pursue in few things very strongly....that community service thing is probably so much better than being in interact or something....
