What does it take to get into Harvard Univeristy?????
The thing is, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE who applies to Harvard as at least your bare minimum credentials. I’ve said this a zillion times, but Harvard routinely turns down kids with perfect SAT scores – no one really knows what Harvard wants, and the best thing us mere mortals can do is study hard and hope that our application has more luck than the rest. I’d recommend that you do some volunteer work. Also, I don’t think a 25 on the ACT will cut it. Take note that Harvard only accepts ACT w/ Writing in lieu of the SAT’s, and you’ll still have to take three SAT Subject Tests. Good luck! I’m waiting for my results in April. 🙁 Being from a minority race can be advantageous to a certain extent, but it won’t dramatically tip the scales in your favor.
