Required test scores for Harvard?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

Hello everyone,

I recently found out that a lot of top schools require all of the test scores of each ACT/SAT test sitting to be sent to the school. I couldn’t find any indication on Harvard’s website that they require all test scores, but I could have missed something. Does anyone know if Harvard requires all SAT/ACT scores?

On a separate note, I have taken the ACT twice with a 34 and 35 composite. Superscored, I will have a 36 composite. Is this worth the $12.00 to send in an extra test report?

Thanks in advance!!!

Harvard does not require all SAT/ACT scores. I don’t think that they superscore the ACT, most schools don’t. I would just save the money and send in the 35, but the scores are so close that I don’t think sending in the 34 would hurt you in any way. Good luck!

Harvard is not one of the colleges that require students to send in a full testing record: http://blog.prepscholar.com/colleges-requiring-all-sat-scores-complete-list

While Harvard does superscore the SAT, they DO NOT superscore the ACT. So just send the 35. See: http://blog.prepscholar.com/colleges-that-superscore-act-complete-list

Harvard doesn’t superscore the ACT. However, you should be proud of your 34 and 35 composite and send them anyway. I called the admissions office the other day and they said anything, 30+ is fine (although 32+ is preferred).

Thanks for all the responses! I have decided to just send in the 35 to save the extra money :slight_smile:
