are these test scores sufficient for Harvievard?? yes/no/maybe

<p>SATI
cr: 750, m: 740, w: 800</p>

<p>SATII
mathII: 800, us history: 760, physics: 720 (YOUCHHH)</p>

<p>intended major is engineering or math</p>

<p>Engineering with a 720 Physics score? Really? :)</p>

<p>bawawawwaw :frowning:
ok i’ll go in a corner and cry now</p>

<p>i really like math more but parents are pushing me into engineering and my essays are already based on engineering so idk</p>

<p>self studied physics btw</p>

<p>Oh my god. Self-studied physics test in 71st percentile? Epic fail.</p>

<p>(Seriously, stop complaining. It’s all right. 720 is above 700, and therefore respectable.)</p>

<p>thanks wigwam :slight_smile: i feel betta</p>

<p>OH NOEZ! A 2290 SAT 1 ohh no. But really you should so better on physics since it has a nice curve and… DONT BE AN ENGINEEER IF YOU FCKING DONT WANT TO BE. It ends up being worse for you and when you realize your life wasted away it is already too late.</p>

<p>hmmm at harvard do more ppl major in mathematics or engineering?</p>

<p>maths</p>

<p>if youre interested in engineering, a lot of students cross register for classes at MIT</p>

<p>i love math =]=]=]=]=]=] like brain orgasms!!</p>

<p>First, you scores are fine.</p>

<p>Some info on engineering for you to think about. I have a tendency to have a pro-engineering lean in life due to it being one of the fields that tends to provide the option of being employed with decent pay w/ only an undergraduate degree. Now with that said, not all engineering degrees are the same and serve the same purpose. Typically a BA or AB in engineering, being that it concentrates in engineering less while providing a broader education, is preparation for further education and less-so the post-undergrad job market. The BA is great prep for grad engineering, medical school, law, business. The BS or SB is the degree that provides for undergrad employment. At Harvard the BA is the default degree. A BS is offered (but not in all majors) but additional credits are required to complete this degree. </p>

<p>So engineering at Harvard, I think that it is great that engineering is offered as an option and Harvard is unlike many other schools in that it offers both the BA and BS. The selection of majors is not a lot. I had encouraged both my kids to consider engineering as an academic path since their interests were compatible with the degree. For my son, he did the engineering path but would not apply to Harvard because he wanted more mobility between majors (CS in engineering, EE, ECE, etc) and was only considering a BS degree. He has since earned his BS, is employed, and gearing up for further degrees down the road. Daughter is looking at Bio, Neuro, Bio tech etc. I pushed Biomedical engineering. With her interest in softer engineering, I thought the AB might be great for her. Ultimately, I did not win. She has decided that she is NOT doing engineering or any kind. Given her interests, she did apply to Harvard, has been accepted, and will be attending next year and choosing a major in the life sciences.</p>

<p>Math at Harvard? I don’t know a lot other than I thought Harvard was one of the top in the country. I remember hearing that Harvard specifically went to china to recruit the best math kids there. [The</a> Harvard Crimson :: Magazine :: E(ast)-Recruiting](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=525864]The”>http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=525864) In the process, I have no idea how crazy brutal it might be to stand out as a math major.</p>

<p>Hope this was of some help.</p>

<p>^whoa! that was helpful my god…you’re a savior bless you</p>

<p>glad it was beneficial :)</p>

<p>Smoda is a really critical person. :(</p>

<p>Being called critical is actually a complement for me. Thank you. :)</p>

<p>For those wondering what Carin’s comment is about, it relates to a different thread.</p>
