How To Get Into Harvard (by a Harvard student)

<p>I took the SATs twice in the past 6 months, I improved on all sections
Math: went up 20
Reading went up 70
Writing went up 70</p>

<p>And this was in my junior year (which ended a month ago…whew.)
I think you’ll be fine, you’ve got to really want to get a good score, and have some sort of motivation to keep you going. Mine was that a friend got 2260 on hers, and being competitive, I strove to beat her score. I got 20 lower, but I’m still proud of how much I improved. </p>

<p>Also, do not procrastinate, it doesn’t help the nerves. (:</p>

<p>But, Tomatopuree16, don’t worry, you’ve got time. And I’m not familiar with AP classes and all that, but I think you took then in grade 12? Aren’t they usually grade 12+ material?</p>

<p>(we don’t have as elaborate AP programs. All ours is is a bunch of people getting together after school with AP prep books and hoping for the best…)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>I’m reviewing for the SAT II, I’m taking three.
<em>crosses fingers they’ll be good enough for Harvard</em></p>
