<p>Well, I was curious to know what geographical regions, in the past, have produced the largest group of Harvard acceptances. It says on their website that geographical residence is taken into account, so was wondering what region of the U.S. had the most.</p>
<p>Just to throw it in there, does Harvard require you to take subject tests if you submit the ACT? Did not get any answers on threads in other sections, so thought I would give it one more shot.</p>
<p>I would say the DC-metro area (MD/DC/VA) is VERY well represented at Harvard. Also, California and New York send a lot of students to Harvard.</p>
<p>Harvard requires 3 SAT IIs regardless of whether you took the SATI or the ACT</p>
<p>Probably Massachusetts</p>
<p>Regarding geographical regions, states that tend to have many acceptances (based on from where I hear my classmates are from) include: Massachusetts (particularly the Boston area), New York (particularly NYC), California (particularly LA), Texas and New Jersey (particularly the northern and central parts) are ones that I hear all the time. I’m sure there are a couple more but in general, large states (with reasonable population density) and those known for strong secondary public education do well.</p>
<p>You have to always take three subject tests regardless of whether you took the SAT I or the ACT.</p>

<p>New England(MA, CT, RI, NH, VT) and the Mid-Atlantic(NY, NJ, PA, MD, DE, DC, VA) are the best represented.</p>
<p>hahaha I loved that game :)</p>
