Preposterous comment reflecting no understanding of how competitive universities actually work. This is not a cookie-cutter exercise. The Harvard mean is a bit below 1500. The distribution in the lower percentages is wide but all of those applicants are distinguished in some respects. Some have extensive international backgrounds. Some are jocks. A tiny handful are armed forces veterans. A 1270 is in the top 15% nationally and is numerically tough to distinguish from the top 10%. He may not be at the top of the admissions range but he is definitely above the bottom. He has distinguished himself and he will do well.

It is more difficult to get into Harvard than to stay in Harvard. He will get through with activism and end up in politics. It is not like he is going into engineering, math, or medicine where intellect is needed.

Actually this long-winded comment is the one that is less informed. Top 15% is not competitive for the top schools. Numbers are EASY to distinguish.

Hogg got in for other reasons. Just like Jared Kushner did. Deal.

Do I need a minimum required SAT, ACT or Subject Test score?

There are no score cutoffs, and we do not admit “by the numbers.” For the SAT, we will review your highest test scores in each section across test dates and any other scores you choose to share with us. For the ACT, we will evaluate your highest composite score and any other scores you choose to share with us. We take into account your educational background when reviewing your scores. You are free to use the College Board’s Score Choice option and/or the similar option offered by ACT when applying to Harvard, but you do not need to. The majority of students admitted represent a range of scores from roughly 600 to 800 on each section of the SAT as well as on the SAT Subject Tests. The 25th percentile for admitted students on the SAT is about 1470; the 75th percentile is about 1570. For the ACT, the 25th percentile of admitted students score a 33 and the 75th percentile score a 35. We regard test results as helpful indicators of academic ability and achievement when considered thoughtfully among many other factors.

Colleges use the SAT as a predictor of whether unknown students are likely to do well. I think he’s proven in other arenas that he’s likely to do well.

The 4.59 percent admission rate is the lowest of all the Ivy League schools this year.
