Answer 2

These schools do not require a specific score that you must have for admission, but the students they admit have very high scores. based on a talk I heard recently, about 85% of Harvards students scored over 2050 on the SATs. Two kids that I tutored who got into Harvard scored over 2300.

The kids who didnt score that high probably had some other major thing going for them, like they wrote a bestseller or were a star on Broadway, won an Olympic medal, or their grandfather used to be President of the US.

Answer 3

There is no rigid requirement. Since you look kind of brownish, you might be able to get by with like a 1600, on today's SAT. 1450 if you excel at a sport. And you need a decent GPA, essay. Good luck!
