Please Chance me for Harvard 2+2

Hi!

So I've read through quite a few of the chance me posts and I was wondering if someone could take a look at my stats as well because I don't fully fit any of the other profiles.

Major: Actuarial Science, Economics, Statistics from a large state university probably ranked around 40-50 GPA: 3.90/4.00 GMAT: 770 and full points on AWA and IR Work experience: an internship at a large actuarial consulting firm and another at a large insurance company. I also grade for a math class and I've taught a small course at school (1 credit hour).

I'm basically worried that because I didn't go to a great school I might not have a great chance. I also don't have any relevant finance experience since I've been focusing on actuary related things and I know that they aren't really looking for finance majors but I do think I maybe should've showed more interest in the field. Naturally I worry mostly because it's borderline impossible to get into this school as far as I can tell and I don't have any exceptional experiences like volunteering in Africa or starting a charity.

My recs and essays should also be pretty solid and I've passed all 5 of the basic actuary exams.

Thanks!
