<p>I have a general question about Harvard's policy regarting the Writing porition of the SAT1. Is this score regarded as an SAT 2 score, meaning that if it is higher than one of the 3 SAT2 scores, it will replace that lowest SAT2?</p>

2

<p>Nope. SAT I writing is considered an SAT I score, and you must still take the SAT II.</p>

3

<p>Its counted as an SAT I scores, but they are not counting it in a matter of speaking this year. That means that your 750V 750M wont be hurt by a 600W. It isnt important this year because its super uncalibrated</p>

4

<p>What say if I got a 740 W, and a 12 Essay. Shouldn't they be "impressed"?</p>

5

<p>Harvard won't be impressed with a 740; they'll be satisfied.</p>

6

<p>Yeah, I would say until they get enough data, there just going to glance at it...if it's 700+, they'll move on to the other scores.</p>

7

<p>What are you serious corranged....anything 700+ is great...</p>

<p>Or are you one of those people that retakes a 790?</p>

8

<p>Definitely not. I took my SATs once and my SAT IIs once.</p>

<p>However, the vast majority of applicants to Harvard have 700+ scores. They are pretty much expected.</p>

9

<p>I'd like to remind everyone that last year, 44% of Harvard's applicants had SATs under 1400.</p>

10

<p>yes, but 91% of applicants didn't get in.</p>

<p>Well put. It's very tough to "impress" Harvard (or any of its peers) with your scores because you never make an impression on someone by doing what hundreds of others are doing. The typical officer reads hundreds of apps with scores in the 740 range. That's just par for the course. If you have 8 or 10 800's, that may stick in the officer's mind, but otherwise, your scores are not going to make you stand out from the crowd.</p>
