How to go to Harvard from a different country

Question

I live in Japan right now and was wondering what are the tests I have to take from the SAT test to go to Harvard. And what other tests I should take to ensure that I can go to Harvard. Such as TOEFL and stuff. THe only tests I know that I need to take is the SAT and the TOEFL and something about a test called ACT. BUt I don't really know. If someone could please tell me what are the tests I should take and what scores I should get so I could go to Harvard.

Answer 1

You need to take the SAT I and 3 SAT subject tests known as the SAT II. To be competitive at Harvard you would need to score about 2250 on the SAT I and above 750 on the subject tests. The ACT can be taken in place of the SAT. A competitive score on it would be above 34.

Keep in mind that many kids with perfect 2400 scores get rejected. Scores can't get you in but they can keep you out.
