Chances of admission+financial aid for international applicants

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I have SAT scores of
CR:560 W:700 M:750 = 2010</p>

<p>So is it possible for me to get admission to harvard in engineering with financial aid. </p>

<p>(I would need 70% financial aid)</p>

<p>any help is appreciated</p>

<p>Hard to say that you would get in …
but if you did then financial aid will not be a problem. They will meet full need of their accepted students.
Again depends on the rest of your application; I would try a retake though.</p>

<p>Your problem is CR. The other 2 aren’t exactly excellent by Harvard’s standards, but they won’t make/break it for you either, in my opinion. At any rate, you must retake the CR. 560 is much too low - it would VERY likely lower your chances to ~0.</p>

<p>what would yo say is a good CR score?</p>

<p>700 at the least, probably. A 650 might be acceptable too if you have really high scores on the other 2 sections, but even then, a 700 is much more preferable. Check out the SAT statistics Harvard has on its website - they post the scores that the middle 50% of their acceptees got. You should score something similar.
At any rate, if you’re accepted, financial aid doesn’t seem like a problem (I think.) Harvard is pretty generous with fin. aid.</p>
