<p>They definitely would be more lenient. I stay in India and from of all my classmates (quite a few brains among them), I’m the only one who scored above 700 in the CR and Writing sections (most of them speak English most of the time). As long as you do well in Math & score above 650 in the others, I think they would still ‘consider you’. & I’ve never heard of anyone in India getting above 2200.</p>
<p>But then again, I’m just an applicant, not an admissions officer. Just ask a student at Harvard if you can, I’m sure that would help.</p>
