<p>I am Indonesian. I won several international and national science fairs. I also won a bronze in national chemistry olympiad. Besides that, I am a published writer, a journalism head, a captain in badminton, vice chair of national chemistry olympiad camp, a vice president of student council and a founder of an anti-discrimination youth community. I got deferred. But, I know one of my weaknesses: 560 on cr and 620 on writing, even though a 800 on mat. Am I deferred because of my test scores? What do you think guys? Thank you</p>
<p>Yes, that is most likely the reason. Those scores certainly contributed to your deferral, as 1980 is far below the average composite score of 2240 for those admitted last year.

<p>You have to remember that Harvard doesn’t have a ‘formula.’
With certain applicants they choose to take them in right away, while with others they simply delay their decision</p>
<p>Thank you for the respond. I took the act today and it went well, I really hope a much better score in this test.</p>
