<p>Hey guys! I've got a few questions on what the requirements for SAT scores are for some colleges....</p>
<p>a)Harvard
b)MIT
c) Ivy Colleges all 8 if it can be provided.</p>
<p>Also since I am from New Zealand I really am not good with this SAT thing.. as in I don't know much about it... therefore please be specific on what your trying to say when answering :)</p>

<p>There are no strict REQUIREMENTS for any of those schools. However, if you want to stand a good chance at admission (especially as an international student), you’re going to want at least 2200.</p>
<p>I want atleast 2200 SAT score ok… I get that… But what’s the overall mark you can get for SAT?</p>
<p>Also how do they exactly score the SAT1 & 2 do they add them together then is it the total or…</p>
<p>The maximum score you can get is 2400.</p>
<p>And the SAT IIs are considered separately, as far as I’m aware. On those you should be aiming for at least 700, although 750 would be ideal.</p>
<p>To get a quick idea of what the middle 50% of the students attending those schools score, I would recommend looking at the school’s profile at collegeboard.com</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>800 is ideal.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Most international students without a hook probably have above 2300.</p>
<p>For Ivies it’s expected that you get somewhere above 2250. I think from there, it all depends upon EC’s, essays, GPA, and stuff like that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There is no cutoff, though numbers like 2100, 2200, 2250, and 2300 are commonly cited. The effect of one’s scores is not quantized (beyond the limits of the SAT scoring system); that is, the higher the score, the better.</p>
<p>Subjective factors and one’s academics are indeed important, however.</p>
<p>What is EC’s and GPA stand for and what are they? I think I know what GPA is its like your average score/test point or something. But in New Zealand I’m pretty sure they do not do that.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“EC’s” stands for “extracurricular activities” – things done outside of one’s academics, such as clubs or teams.</p>
<p>HOLY COW! LIGHTNING FAST WITH THE REPLY silverturtle 
Thank you!</p>
<p>Question, I want to Major in Physics, to get invited to Harvard any recommendations on the subject tests I should be taking? Also for SAT 1 do you have to do all of them?
Also are there any books out there which is REALLY helpful on SAT 1 and 2 preperations also essays…?
Also how does the AP thing work?</p>
<p>Testing requirements do not vary by major. Nonetheless, prospective physics majors typically take Math Level 2, Physics, and another test of their choosing.</p>
<p>Yes, all subjects must be taken for the SAT Reasoning Test; the sections alternate during the test.</p>
<p>Hm… Was wondering ( wonder a lot :D) is there a way for me to get GPA?</p>
<p>Some schools do not calculate GPA. I do not know your school’s policy. Oftentimes, a class rank is more helpful, though.</p>
<p>Colleges that are used to dealing with international students, such as Harvard, will know how to interpret your school record. They will look at whatever marks your school sends and/or your performance on your country’s national certification exams. Lacking a formally calculated GPA will not be a barrier.</p>
