SAT II necessary?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

<p>Hey, i'm doing A levels under Cambridge. I scored 8As with 6A*s in my O levels and got the country highest in Economics and Business Studies. Moreover i'm pretty much active in the environment protection activities, i play the drums, part of the school soccer team, debate team, and president of the school environment club. I've also done an internship at a bank and worked for early childhood development at a research oriented organization. I've worked at two schools for the under privileged in our city and will soon participate in a voluntary internship abroad! </p>

<p>I gonna appear for my SATs this october, and my dream is to get accepted into Harvard Business School or the Economics undergraduate program at Harvard. The problem stems from the fact that Harvard requires SAT II as well as SAT I. Being from a business background, I can't appear for the subject tests as they all appear to be science oriented, moreover, not all the subject test are available in my country. </p>

<p>I'm really stressed about this. Can I get into Harvard with only my SAT Is, and how much do I need to score in that case? Please help me somebody!</p>

<p>Getting into Harvard is currently at 6%.</p>

<p>Getting into Harvard without your application being reviewed - 0%</p>

<p>Will your application get reviewed when the requirements set by the university are NOT met - most likely not. You can get some adcom to confirm they will look at it. </p>

<p>You should be able to take a Math I (Only slightly harder than SAT Math) and English literature to fulfill the requirement or a foreign language. </p>

<p>I have nt seen any Harvard adcom answer questions in CC but there are students with a thread where you should post.</p>
