Applying To Harvard - How Good Is My Courseload?

<p>You might want to add a US History course, definitely foreign language, and, because you’re homeschooled, be sure you do well on the SAT II’s. </p>

<p>Do you only have a year of English? </p>

<p>Have you taken the SAT?</p>

<p>What are you passionate about? Extracurriculars? </p>

<p>“the study of English for four years: close and extensive reading of the classics of the world’s literature;
four years of a single foreign language;
