Hi- I feel I have a rather unique story with extraordinary elements. I have 35 ACT but poor grades (3.4 unw 4.4 w) due to a severe life threatening illness which affected 2 years of school and dropped me from a 3.8unw/4.8w.
Big stand out on my app besides the usual, like president of a few school clubs, is my extracuirrs-- I was wondering if these would be considered "extraordinary":
-created nonprofit for which I fundraised 10s of thousands of dollars + thousands of volunteers in over 8 states that is related to my major and a very good cause, state awarded me for it
-created a LLC (Company) which got over $10,000 from investors I pitched, and increased our evaluation 4x the original $10,000
-few other "companies" as well in which I got some thousands of dollars but minor neighborhood things
Also some personal things like self teaching languages, well traveled + study abroad programs, proficiency in instrument, etc.
Is this extraordinary enough for Harvard?
thanks,
Joe
