<p>I'm getting paranoid. Although Harvard is not my first choice, I'm applying. And my SAT scores freak me out. Yeah, they're not the only variable that decide wether or not a guy gets accepted, blah blah.. </p>
<p>But how do Harvard's intl admits score on the CR and W sections? (Those who are not native speakers and don't attend english speaking schools). I got a 710CR and 650 (bah, 10e) on the W. Are we still expected to churn out perfect 800's, or do people get away with 500's?</p>
<p>I'm in the same situation and was wondering the same thing. Maybe they attach more importance to the Test of English as a Foreign Language? Because beating English speakers on their own grounds is pretty impossible. </p>
<p>At least we can hope to get a very good score at one SAT subject test by choosing our native language.</p>
<p>No, you're actually not supposed to take the SAT2 in your own language...</p>
<p>Where are you guys from? How did you do in the SAT1 math section?
Do you also struggle in math/physics although you rule the **** out of math in you own country?
(You can tell me all you want, but the language barrier does also exist in science...)</p>
<p>I'm from northern Europe.. I only got a 680 math. Which is intimidating since I got an A in the hardest calculus course offered in my country... Anyway, I keep scoring 750+ on the Math Level 2, so I don't think I need to retake the SAT I. 680 is low, though. Especially for an intl applying to these schools.</p>
<p>Oh sorry about that. Then I believe it is really hard to get in when English is not your first language... </p>
<p>I'm from the French part of Canada. I have not taken any SAT yet (only applying next year). For what I remember, I'm in the top 2% of my province (probably around 5% in country) in math, and top 1% in English as a second language. But still...</p>
<p>Ok . I am from China ~~Fortunately I got both 800 in SATi MAth and SAT2 Math Level2~~</p>
<p>BUt my CR sucks.............only 500+ 555555555555555555555555555555555</p>
