<p>I don't really understand Harvard's admissions process either. My school sent 3 students to Harvard this past year. I'm on the school newspaper and we wrote a story about the 3 of them and what their grades/ec's were and I don't know how they got in. I can only assume they wrote amazing essays. </p>

<p>Student 1:
Applied ED
Class rank: 14/600
Had a very difficult schedule
EC's: Played the violin
SAT: 1470</p>

<p>Student 2:
Applied ED
Class rank: 24/600
Had a fairly difficult schedule
EC's: Habitat for Humanity, Model UN
SAT: 1410</p>

<p>Student 3:
Applied regular decision
Class rank: 82/600
Had the most difficult schedule in the senior class
EC's: NHS President, Writer on newspaper
SAT: 1430</p>

<p>Fantosme--Did their parents donate money?
Because those statistics aren't even good enough for U Penn.</p>

<p>I don't know if they donated money. They do live in one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the midwest so it's not out of the question. </p>

<p>I think we actually had more than 3 accepted at Harvard, all with similar profiles to those I listed, but they chose to attend places like Stanford & Penn instead.</p>

<p>From our high school ,which is top 20 high school by US News and World Reports, NO ONE got into Brown with under 1450 on their SATs. We have a listing of all those that applied and were rejected and accepted by SATs and GPA, and it was a fair number of people who applied to Brown. At another school near us that has almost the same US News Rating, they have the same experience. Thus, I would say that SATs don't matter as long as they are around 1450 or higher!</p>

<p>haha yeaaa thats what i figured</p>

26

<p>so that would correlate to what act score?
do they look down at kids who just have the act and not 3 sat tests</p>

<p>That's a good thing to hear (for some of us).</p>
