People who have been to Harvard?

Question

Has anybody that has made it into Harvard, and went, answer these questions please.

1) What was you SAT score?
2) What were your grades?
3) What were your extra-curriculars?
4) What is your IQ?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

1. 760 --715
2. Average over 4 years -- 3.90 (Magna).
3. Hasty Pudding/Glee Club/Harvard Crimson (newspaper).
4. 157 (Mensa Certified).

If you're planning on applying to Harvard, please know, test scores are only one indicator. A good friend of mine at Harvard scored rather unimpressively on his SATs but had impressive community service credentials and wonderful recommendations.
Develop an interest in your community and school; take as many AP courses as you can, and generally make a name for yourself in your town in ways that demonstrate your leadership potential. These things can go far in helping you. Trust me, Harvard looks at WAY MORE than your score; and nobody give a rats dimpled bum about your IQ. I knew some people there who graduated after four years, but who were dumb as a box of rocks.

Answer 2

Kids with perfect SAT's don't always get into Harvard. It depends on the rest of your resume. If you have straight A's in honors level courses, participate in a balanced combination of extracurricular activies inside and outside of school, have impressive community service, have academic awards, a superior essay, and excellent references, these things outweigh a super high SAT score.

if you have a high IQ, you go to MENSA, has nothing to do with harvard
