Hello, I'm a high school senior(this year I'll be) and I'm looking forward to put Harvard on the top of my list.
first of all, I'm an international, I come from Egypt and I have never been to the states and most certainly don't have a residency or so.
my scores are
SAT1: 2370 (800 on reading, 790 on math, and 780 on the writing section)
SAT2:I've only taken the math1 test and I got a 700 because I got ill that day and I couldn't make it through the test or even the biology test, so I'm retaking it on the November series, expecting 700~750+ on each.
GPA: somewhere around 3.9 to 4.0
EC's : here comes the problem, my school offers a rather narrow space for extracurriculars which I know is a huge gap in my application but I'm looking forward to fill it! My Ec's so far are: I was part of the school's student council for the last 2 years and I'm running for presidency this year.I'm head of the school's debate club, and I'm the school's student representative. that's about it for the school, a few other stuff here and there , nothing mentionable. when it comes to ec's outside of the school, I'm a member of a number of community service organizations and scientific clubs, for example I'm a member of a community service organization called interact which is in part a part of the international rotary club, I'm running for the presidency of the community service organization division this month, as well. I know that my ec's are extremely unsatisfying but I've got the time and the chance to boost them up, but I need help, what should I do? which activities should I start pursuing? what counts as an ec? I mean I could be doing other things but miss to count them as an extracurricular activity.
by the way, I'm planning to take a concentration in a biology related field, still didn't decide which, but I'm hopefully applying to medical school afterwards which is also something I know extremely hard but I'll take my chances.
one more thing, do you advise me to apply as an early decision student of regular decision?
that's all for now, waiting for your replies!
