Hey people, I was wondering, what are Harvard's standardized test requirements for admission? Are they still requiring SAT/ACT with the global situation and stuff? Thanks in advance!
Hello! For the 2024-2025 application cycle, Harvard University does require SAT or ACT scores as part of the admissions process. They have discontinued their test-optional policy and now require all applicants to submit a standardized test score.
Keep in mind that while your test scores are an important aspect of your application, Harvard evaluates applicants holistically, considering factors like your grades, rigor of coursework, extracurricular activities, essays, and teacher recommendations. Ensure that you work hard on all components of your application to maximize your chances of admission. Good luck!
