Do you have an idea of what exact SAT score is required by Harvard University.?

Harvard, like most highly selective institutions, does not have an ACT or SAT minimum requirement, per se. Similarly, there is no absolute minimum grade point average required for admission. The University considers a number of factors, none of which would surprise you, in making their admissions decisions.





Again, like other extremely selective institutions, Harvard has been known to deny admission to valedictorians, students with a 4.0 high school grade point average, and students with perfect ACT or SAT scores. Special talent, diversity and/or legacy status can be a (big or small) "tip" factor.





If you visit the Harvard website you can probably find a profile of their incoming class. This year, the University offered admission to about 9% of their applicants, most of whom were very solid to spectacular students.





Don't be scared off by highly selective colleges unless you fall far below their profile ranges, but be sure to apply to appropriate "safety" schools.

"56% of the applicants scored 1400 or higher on SATs; almost 2,150 scored a perfect 800 on the SAT verbal; more than 3,200 scored an 800 on the SAT math."





I don't think Harvard has a standard SAT score, since they only accept about 10% of the people who apply. Most likely, they consider all things. Given how high those scores are, it's doubtful they have a minimum score for the test.
Reply:It must certainly be high, but they also look at the classes you took in high school, your high school GPA, did you improve from 9 to 12, and your extra-curricular. It's a multi-level consideration. Look at the website for admission information.
Reply:"Harvard does not have clearly defined, required minimum scores; however, the majority of students admitted to the College represent a range of scores from roughly 600 to 800 on each section of the SAT Reasoning Test as well as on the SAT Subject Tests."
Reply:It's not possible, usually, to answer that question for any Ivy League university. Most universities don't have the resources to go through all their applications with a fine-tooth comb to discover the "diamonds in the rough," so to speak, candidates who might not look the best on paper but who have something unique and special to contribute. To thin their pile quickly without too much expenditure, they usually have strict cutoffs for GPAs and SATs, and applicants that don't meet those marks are simply not considered.





The Ivies, on the other hand, do take the time to look through everything carefully. At Harvard you will meet many students who were rejected by much lesser institutions, often due to low scores on standardized tests. Not everyone does well on those tests, and the Ivies usually make it their mission to look at as many factors as possible when putting together their student body.





All this to say, briefly, that high test scores and/or a high average in no way guarantees admission to any of the Ivies. It also means that, if you think the school is a good fit for you, you should apply, even if you think your marks or scores might not be good enough. The worst that can happen is that they will say no.





If you're not admitted, don't sweat it. It doesn't mean that you're not a good student or that your resume isn't competitive. It just means that you don't happen to be exactly what they're looking for that year.





If you really want an Ivy-League education, apply at several of them. It's never possible to know whether you will be admitted at this one or that one.





I don't know what your plans are, but do take the time to research each school carefully. No matter how brilliant you are, a school isn't necessarily right for you based on reputation alone.





All the best.
