Harvard University?

Hello I checked my act score and i got a 31 also on my SAT i got a 2300. Harvard was one of my application choices my dad went to harvard. Are those scores likely to be good enough to get me in

Harvard University?
I know a few people (including my brother) who went to harvard. 31 is a good score; I got a 32 and got accepted, so you aren't that far off. I don't know what a 2300 really means as I took the old SAT's.





Your Dad having gone there WILL HELP, trust me. Anytime a family member has attended a school your application is given a little bonus. Definitely mention this on your application in the appropriate space.





If you really want to go there, you may want to go with your dad to visit admissions and specifically speak with them (especially mention how your dad wants you to be a legacy, etc) and mention your accomplishments.





Really, your acceptance will be determined by not only your scores, but your outside accomplishments. Play these up and you can easily enter with scores of 31.
Reply:Legacy does less and less for people these days. My mother went to Cornell, but my sister didn't get in.


Your scores are in the Harvard range. But pretty much everyone who applies to Harvard has scores in that range. Your scores alone don't mean much. Your essays, teacher recommendations, and especially your interview are going to determine whether or not you get in. Extracurriculars and community service will also help.
Reply:The 2300 might do the job along with that your dad went to Harvard. Make sure there aren't SAT Subject Tests you have to do though because Ivy Leagues tend to require a certain number of them.
Reply:By the way you type it seems unlikely.
Reply:it really just depends on the school. harvard is obviously an ivy leauge school, so the number of students who apply compared to the number of students accepted is probably very low. i seem to think i read in one of those princeton review books from like 2006 that it was highly selective, and admitted close to 15%. they do not only just look at your ACT and SAT, also your recalculated GPA (the combination of the 5 core classes from grades 9,10,11). theres honestly no way to know for certain about any school, i woudl go to their website, or look at a princeton reveiw book, that may help more :) good luck though!





also legacy children sometimes do have a pull, however sometimes it is based on $ and sometimes not. also it depends on how many generations, like if your grandfather and great grandfather went ttehre as well
