Hi all,
I'm seriously thinking of applying to Harvard, Stanford, Chicago and Dartmouth.
My GCSE grades are very average (665555443) and I am doing a level 3 BTEC diploma (equivalent to 2 A-levels) and an A-level in Psychology and I am also doing the EPQ). My predicted grades are: Distinction, Distinction, A + A in EPQ.
However, although I have very mediocre grades, especially for the ivies; I am a primary legacy at Harvard and have other family members who attended there. My uncle is a professor at Stanford and I have had two research papers published. I am a US citizen but I understand this doesn't help in regards to admission but will do for financial aid.
So I guess what I'm asking is, despite my grades, do I still have a chance with these 'hooks' to gain admission to these top universities?
Thanks
