Your GPA is below their avg as well as all of your DAT sections. It isn't by much, but I know Harvard is very picky. If you had research exp. I would tell you that you would have more of a legitimate chance at an interview. Won't hurt to apply though, you never know. Good luck

what about multiple pubs including 2 first author in journals with impact factor above 6.

average GPA (3.5) , average DAT (low 20's) but last 2 years of uni are ~4.1 GPA including the A+ that aadsas converts to 4.33 (first yrs were abysmal haha)

Classic case of thread hijacking.

op question was answered, why create a new thread to ask the same question.

classic case of zero contribution

Ya you're right. In this economy theres no need to start a brand new thread 😱, its just a waste.

To OP:
From what I've seen and from the people I've talked to, Harvard looks for people that have the 3.8+, 24+, and tons of research, shadowing, and volunteering. And even on top of that they still are looking for very specific qualities.

I wouldn't bother in either case unless you guys just have extra money you can throw at them just for giggles. You never know, but the odds aren't in your favor.

The upward trend in your GPA is certainly a good thing, but I don't think your cgpa is on par with Harvard's standards. The publications are great (good impacts) so maybe it will compensate for your GPA. In my opinion, applying won't hurt.

I would apply and hope for the best... People have been admitted with resumes oddly similar to yours
