Can a Person get into Harvard with these credentials?

[hermann_oberth]

Perfect SAT I and scores of Physics, Chemistry and Biology in SAT II, 4A's in AS Level, 9A's in O level? But the problem is that this person doesn't have any extra curiculars, but this person is planning to do some in his A2 session. Also, he didn't get a lot of good marks in his monthly tests in school. Does he still have a chance?

 

[hermann_oberth]

Can someone please respond to my question? Its really important for me to know the answer.

 

[hermann_oberth]

I am sorry that I look like I am annoying you guys, but can someone PLEASE answer my question?

there's a fair chance. but to opt for scholarships u'll have to have more

 

[UxaiR]

less chances i would say

 

[hermann_oberth]

How can This person get accepted to harvard with scholarship? What does he have to do in his a2 to make a difference? P.S this person was born in America but is in a Pakistani school doing his a levels.

 

[UxaiR]

it doesnt make any difference where is he born or where he has studied..
he need to have 1 or 2 distinctions atleast

 

[hermann_oberth]

What do you mean by distinctions? The guy already has perfect SAT scores in both SAT I and SAT II. Do you mean distinctions in the sense of getting the highest score in an exam or what?

 

[UxaiR]

distinction = highest score in an exam all over the world

he should have a 1 or 2 distinction , in his O level or A level

my second cousin went to harvard under scholarship just beacuse he was having 1 distinction in O level and 1 distinction in A- level

 

[hermann_oberth]

Okay so a distinction would be required. Do you think a person in his A2's could do enough extracuriculars to get in to harvard? Because this person did not do his extracuriculars in his A1, his first year in A Levels.

sorry I disagree.
It's not a COMPULSION, common, my friend got admitted in Harvard, 100% scholarship. 8A's(96% on average) in O levels, 4 A's in A level95% on average), 2400 SAT score + co-curricular activities.

 

[Nibz]

Are Co-Curricular activities compulsory? Ofc, not.

 

[Axa saleem]

Abroad Universities take a deep look at them.

 

[Axa saleem]

so start taking part then, it might be managing an event, sports, speaking skills, internships, artistic skills, media contact, etc.

 

[Axa saleem]

if u r in the school's team.....playing for ur school.

 

[Nibz]

Hmph, I see. Schools can make your certificates for those too, you know.

 

[Axa saleem]

yes. Of course, they aint gonna believe u blindly on ur written.

 

[Nibz]

Haha jk!

 

[Axa saleem]

That wasnt funny AT ALL.
They do, but not 'blindly' , improve ur critical reading skills.

i was not saying that distinctions are the only way to get admission in HARVARD
infact i was saying that it is one of the aspects leading you to the admission
