I know that Harvard doesn’t necessarily require subject tests if it’s a financial problem to you, but if you took two subject tests , say World History and U.S History and got high points on both, would it increase the odds of acceptance from Harvard than those who has no subject test scores but has a very strong profile on GPA, EC, SAT 1, community works and other accomplishments ? Can these two subject tests distinct me well from other candidates ?
I have - 2320 on SAT 1
790 - U.S History
800 - World History
My GPA is not very well
I have few accomplishments but not that many. The best accomplishment that i ever had in school was the 3rd place on National Conference Comp, others are just some medals from district or city Olympiads
Currently I have not included myself in community work. What are my chances ? I will start the applying journey this winter . Please answer #-o
