UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
REQUIRED TESTS
All applicants must take either the SAT I or ACT, and three SAT II Subject
tests.
Applicants may take any three SAT II subject tests. The Admissions
Committee has no preference. However, please be aware of the following exceptions:
Applicants whose first language is not English should not take an SAT II test in
their native language as one of
their three subject tests.

The ELPT is not accepted as one of the three required tests.
Even if you are submitting the results of your school leaving exams (e.g., GCE
A levels, International Baccalaureate, etc.), you must submit the results of the SAT I or
ACT, and three SAT II Subject Tests.
Students who do not have access to a testing center in their country are the
ONLY exceptions to this policy. If you do not have access to a testing center, we will
consider other internationally recognized credentials, such as the results of the
Graduate Record Examination. If you take the GRE, please list the Harvard Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences as a recipient of your score (code number = R3451).

SAT code number is 3434; the ACT code number is 1840. You may also, if you wish,
send your score report with your application.
Harvard does not have clearly defined, required minimum scores; however, the majority of
students admitted to the College represent a range of scores from roughly 600 to 800 on each
section of the SAT I as well as on each SAT II Subject Tests. We regard tests results as helpful
indicators of academic ability and achievement when considered thoughtfully among other
factors.
The Admissions Committee understands that international students may not be as familiar with
the SAT and ACT formats as American citizens. Nevertheless, international students who
distinguish themselves for admission often present the Committee with exceptionally strong
standardized testing.

site: www.collegeboard.com

access to SAT or ACT testing. (See above section on REQUIRED TESTING).

Raquelita, aqui el harvard college te dice que si quieres ser una medica tienes que primero
graduarte primero en cualquiera de estas ciencias en el harvard college:
biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, history, social studies, psychology--Most Harvard College students who wish to pursue medicine as a career choose to major in one
of the hard sciences: biology, biochemistry, chemistry, physics, etc. However, it is not
uncommon for students who have concentrated in history, social studies, psychology, etc., to
enter medical school, although they usually need to take a few years of science classes to
prepare themselves for medical school after college. It is not possible to study medicine at the
undergraduate level.
Y aqui va lo importante, te dice que solo dan los formularios a estudiantes que han sido
admitidos???
pero la embajada te pide primero esos formularios para salir como estudiante.
asi que vamos a terner que preguntarles mejor que debes hacer para ser admitida en el
college y asi que te den los formularios para la embajada.
We only issue I-20 documents to admitted students.
entonces no mandaras la otra carta, que mal, era de haber leido esta primero... ashhhh jeje
ok, mas o menos asi, le aumentas no mas cualquier cosita;

Thank you for your e-mail. The application is on-line so it is not necessary for you to travel here
to fill out any forms. It seems to me that you will need an undergraduate degree first. You

Dear Gentlemen:
Thank you for answer my email, I can understand your position however for
me is necessary that you help me, because in the American embassy here in <?xml:namespace
prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Ecuador, they can’t give me
the visa. The reason is that I really need those formularies (I-20 or DS-2019). I called the
American embassy and I explained your position, and the embassy responded that I have to wait
until you can accept me. For me these position represent a problem because, if I can’t travel to
the United States, I can´t apply, and therefore it is extremely necessary that you help me with
some way.
If you can not really help me with those forms, could you at least help me with some document
stating that I am going to apply to Harvard Medical School.
Also I have other questions, what documents are necessary so I can give it to you and make this
applying visa process easier.
What are the documents that I have to have so you can accept me to apply in the Harvard
Medical School, because I studied High School in Chile, is it necessary to present this documents
in the American embassy in Chile, so in Chile they can stamp my documents there?
Another question, I graduated from High School in Chile, and I took the following courses for my
specialization:
· 1. Biology.
· 2. Chemistry.
· 3. Physics.
· 4. Mathematics.
· 5. Expository Writing.
· 6. Additional requirements for the HST Program.
Does it work that for applying at Harvard? Or do I have to do some homologation, or there is
another place that you recommend for foreign students in which I can take those courses.
Receive my gratefulness in advance and my best regards from Ecuador.
Yours truly
Raquel Daniela Guzman Rojas.

This is the e-mail address for Harvard College. The College offers a four-year undergraduate,
liberal arts program for students seeking their first Bachelor’s degree in arts or sciences. The
College ( www.college.harvard.edu) is only one part of Harvard University (www.harvard.edu),
which includes 10 graduate and professional schools, all of which offer programs for students
who already hold bachelor’s degrees and seek advanced training in their fields through master’s
or doctoral programs. All 10 graduate schools maintain their own admissions offices and
teaching faculties, and they are run almost entirely independently, both of one another and of
Harvard College. For information about Harvard’s graduate programs, please contact these

4. When does the courses start? and how long will It take me until I can apply to Harvard
Medical School?
All Harvard College undergraduate students begin classes in the fall of the year in which they are
admitted. The undergraduate program at Harvard College usually lasts for four year. In the
United States, students then must take MCAT exams prior to applying for medical school.
Medical school typically lasts for four years with several years of specialty training to follow.
Those questions are better directed to the medical school as I can only address undergraduate
requirements.
Receive my gratefulness in advance and my best regards from Ecuador.
