Hello! I'm researching the SAT and ACT requirements for Harvard, but I'm a little confused about their testing policies. Do they require one or both, and do they accept scores from either? Any clarification would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
Hello! As of the 2024-2025 application cycle, Harvard University requires applicants to submit an SAT or ACT score. They are no longer test-optional. Harvard accepts scores from both the SAT and ACT, so you can choose to take either test and submit the one that best represents your abilities. They do not have a preference for one test over the other.
Good luck with your testing and college application process!
