-Your GPA has to be at least 4.0 on a 4.0 scale (with a ton of honors and AP classes). You basically have to be the valedictorian (#1) in your graduating class.


-9% of applicants get accepted.


-Your credits for each subject have to be the following:


4 English credits


4-5 foreign language credits


4 Social Studies/History credits


4-5 Math credits


4-5 Science credits





No college looks at 8th grade performance, but your performance in 8th grade usually establishes how hard your 9th grade classes are (and they do see that - you need to be in all honors/AP classes).


They take all 4 of your high school years very seriously





SAT Scores needed (this is the middle 50%):


Math: 700-790


Reading: 700-800


Writing: 690-790


ACT scores (this is the middle 50%): 31-35
Reply:Wow, I haven't seen an 8th grader worrying about college already! I'd say that Harvard, a highly selective university will pretty much look at all of these you listed. The GPA though, if weighted, should be higher if you want to be sure to get in. Colleges don't look at things below your freshman year (unless it's something serious and has to do with breaking the law or something =P). Also, most colleges will take the 11th grade more seriously, but things you do in all 4 grades are important!
Reply:Basically. You need to almost need to do perfect on the SAT, to get into Harvard. They do not look at your 8th grade year and your freshman year, but your GPA counts as a freshman.You need to make all A's. They look at extracurricular activities, try community service in a year or two. You need to have money or you can get a scholarship. You need to have something that know one else has. Good Luck!
