I have no way of knowing whether you are idle or not/ useless or not. What I do know is that you have not said anything so far, that would indicate to me you are ready for Harvard. So, until I hear something, such as your great SAT or SAT Subject Test scores or results from some national or international competition you won or amazing research that you conducted, I am not going to spend anymore time answering your questions about financial aid and admission into Harvard. Perhaps someone else might want to indulge you. Try the Harvard board too.

Thanks.

@zanofahd, as far as i remember, Ivy league uni's like Harvard only take those students as freshman who have never attended any other university, and it should be the applicants first year in a university (or college as they call it in US, whatever).

I think u'll have to apply as a transfer student

Shouldn't this thread be like, very active right now?
Is there anyone from here applying to Jacobs, Bremen for the 1st December deadline? Or any other deadline, in fact.

Son got a letter from Jacobs, but he isn't really interested.

Did anyone take the November SAT? I believe scores come out on monday.

I think the scores came out today for the November SAT.

@pakirootsian, thats exactly what im wondering too...why is this thread so dead :|
btw, ur studying in Roots right? Many students have gotten into Ivy's from Roots over the years, so do u know what kind of scores they had, like in the SAT and what kind of essays they wrote? I'd appreciate it if u can provide any statistics of such students (EXCLUDING Ibrahim shaikh:P we all know the grades he got).

I have to give the SAT soon and im kind of getting worried now after hearing the scores of some AMAZING students who gave the SAT in November. A guy from my class is like, one of the top students ever (9A* in O'level and 3 A's in AS'level) and he's brilliant in both Math and English but he got a score of 2070 :/. I was like, wth?!

Any tips guys?

oldfashioned, You are right SAT scores came out today.

Son's scores are very similar to his PSAT score and should be good enough to confirm his National Merit status: 760 in Reading, 780 in MC Writing and 700+ in Math.

^lol yes. Last year his PSAT was 690 math, 740 Reading, 760 Writing. So his SAT scores are a little higher in each subsection and should be good enough to verify his PSAT score, for National Merit Scholarship Finalist standing.

danfanhp8, It is very hard to get a scholarships with an SAT score of 1930. There are approximately 150 thousand to perhaps 300 thousand students who have scored higher than you. What do you want to study? What are your SAT subscores?
