I received a 161 on the LSAT, a 690 on the GMAT, a 1380 on the GRE. I have a 3.5 GPA. Can you please chance me for a joint MD/JD/MBA/PhD at Harvard? I want to study patent law of neuroscience biomedical technology companies in the developing world. Will schools hold it against me that I volunteered in sub-Saharan Africa instead of working in IB? OMG, does that mean I have worth as a person?
PS. Should I mail a professor a sheet of imported Belgian chocolate with a letter indicating my desire to attend Harvard and my awesome recommendations? Perhaps a tasteful papier-mâché bust of my head would be better.
I'm so freaking out that I haven't slept in two months.

I would rank your chances at about 37%. The scores will get your app a read, but keep in mind that a lot of the applicants to that program will have had several more years of work experience at McKinsey than you, and at least two have previously served as POTUS. Have you considered adding some back-ups to your list?
...and then you get in, and live in a black pit of despair for five years, and graduate, and go work as a barista at Starbucks... dave.s.
