maybe you could. your SAT score may have to be a little bit higher though.
but yea you could. try applying
Your extracurriculars are all over the place, and you have a lot of things with only one year. You need to learn how to trim your list to things that are genuine achievements – otherwise you look like the stereotypical student trying to pad the list of extracurriculars to compensate for grades that aren’t quite up to their standards, and admissions officers see right through that. For example, traveling to France just shows your family has money.
Something like 1,100 kids with PERFECT SAT scores got turned down by Harvard this year.
