What is it like to get admitted to Harvard?
The average GPA at Harvard is 4.18. With a GPA of 4.18, Harvard requires you to be at the top of your class. You’ll need nearly straight A’s in all your classes to compete with other applicants. Furthermore, you should be taking hard classes – AP or IB courses – to show that college-level academics is a breeze.
What is the lowest ACT Harvard has accepted?
The 25th percentile ACT score is 33, and the 75th percentile ACT score is 35. In other words, a 33 places you below average, while a 35 will move you up to above average. There’s no absolute ACT requirement at Harvard, but they really want to see at least a 33 to have a chance at being considered.
Which schools did you not apply to after getting into Harvard?
(After getting into Harvard early, I decided not to apply to Yale, Columbia, UChicago, UPenn, and other Ivy League-level schools, since I already knew I would rather go to Harvard.) The application that got me admitted everywhere is the subject of this guide. You’re going to see everything that the admissions officers saw.
Is the admission process really that hard?
Of course, no process is perfect. Inevitably, some students who are not admitted will see great success, and even with a 97 to 98 percent graduation rate, some admitted students might have been better served at another institution. We do everything possible to make the best admissions decision for each student.
Why don’t I get to see my letters of recommendation?
Normally you don’t get to see these letters because you waive access to them when applying. You’ll see how effective strong teacher advocates will be to your college application, and why it’s so important to build strong relationships with your letter writers. You’ll see the exact pen marks made by my Harvard admissions reader on my application.
