<p>I too would like to get someones word on this. I am a international student from India - admission pool here is probably the most competitive one in the world (along with china). </p>
<p>Harvard has a peculiar relation ship with our country. Though the importance of the SAT Reasoning is de-emphasized throughout CC/ AdCom’s interviews (at the higher end of the spectrum, say 2300/2350+), Harvard only took people with a 2400/2400 in the SAT reasoning from my country. The situation was similar last year aswell. Is this only a correlation or truly a prerequisite? I cannot fathom how 2-3 questions can determine the fate of a student. </p>
<p>Also, are triple 800’s in subject tests rare/ give you a leg up?</p>
