SAT Subject Test Score Choice

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University

So,
I sent my SAT Subject Test scores to Harvard before they were released by the CollegeBoard and they were much lower than I had anticipated. Then, I forwarded Harvard my highest two SAT II scores, which were both from a previous seating. However, they have seen all four scores, the 2 okay and the 2 worse. Will they take all of them into account when reviewing my application or only the top two?

I also think that one of the reasons my scores were so low is because I have a large LD, which I spoke about in my CommonApp. Hopefully, they will understand that this may have shown up in my testing.

Thanks.

I think that they will choose your highest SAT II Scores but they will also have seen your previous SAT scores since you have sent them to the admission officers.

If you have an LD you should have applied for accommodations that would have leveled the playing field for you. Harvard cannot translate scores based on your account of an LD. But this is not relevant anyway since they do have the higher scores.

If you are concerned about this, you can call admissions. I wouldn’t mention the LD. I would just ask if they will consider only the higher scores.
