Но внезапно он становится гением во плоти: титаническими усилиями, с помощью Высших сил, вообщем неважно.

Примут!
Вступительных экзаменов нынче нет, эссе и интервью тоже. На это имеют право только три федеральных ВУЗа. Все дело упирается в ЕГЭ: сдал его на много-много баллов - поступил! Не сдал - не поступил. )))

ziingrr, а что говорится на сайтах самих этих учебных заведений? Подавляющая часть посетителей этого форума, вероятно, не готовила учеников к поступлению за рубеж и такими деталями не интересовалась. Русскоязычные ресурсы по этой теме тоже есть - стоит только поискать. Но практическим опытом а ля "моего выпускника и с тройками приняли" вряд ли кто-то сможет поделиться.

Телепаты в отпуске, а те, кто остался, не очень любят за них работать внеурочно.

К чему троллинг то? Я просто хочу узнать, можно ли обойти проблему плохих школьных оценок, при достаточных знаниях?

Submitting SAT Subject Tests

Submitting Artistic Work, Research, or Other Optional Materials

Our standard application materials typically give us ample information for making admission decisions. However, we recognize you may have truly exceptional talents or achievements you wish to share, and we want you to have every opportunity to best represent yourself.

At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, supplementary materials—such as music recordings, artwork, or selected samples of academic work—may be evaluated by faculty.

These materials are entirely optional; please only submit them if you have unusual talents. Electronic submission through our Slideroom account or the status portal is preferred. However, if you must mail your materials, please contact fileroom@fas.harvard.edu for instructions.



While we normally require two SAT Subject Tests, you may apply without them if the cost of the tests represents a financial hardship or if you prefer to have your application considered without them. Standardized testing is only one component of our holistic admissions process and your application will be evaluated on the basis of all submitted information.

Standardized tests are best viewed as rough yardsticks of academic progress which are greatly affected by academic opportunity. This article from the Harvard Gazette has more information about standardized tests, test preparation and the changing SAT.

How subject tests are considered

Subject Tests can be helpful both for admissions and course placement purposes. Students whose first language is not English and those less familiar with standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT can often demonstrate their academic progress more effectively by also submitting Subject Tests. International students generally benefit from submitting Subject Tests and should take them if possible as they are unlikely to be admitted on the basis of SAT or ACT alone.

The decision whether to take Subject Tests is entirely up to you. You should ask yourself whether other academic credentials including, but not limited to AP results, IB marks, A Levels grades, etc., adequately represent your suitability for studying at Harvard. If there is any doubt, you should take two Subject Tests. Official scores should be sent if possible but can be forwarded after matriculation if expense is a consideration.

Role at Harvard

Subject Test results can be used to help assess which course levels are appropriate to take at Harvard and can enable you to pass our language requirement (700 or better on a language Subject Test) and take advanced courses from among our 80+ foreign languages. Other standardized tests can also be used to meet our language requirement, for example, with a 7 in a Higher Level IB language exam or a 5 in an AP language exam or by successfully passing a placement test upon arriving at Harvard.

Standardized tests can also be used to apply for Advanced Standing, which offers the possibility of graduating in three years and/or receiving a Masters degree in the fourth year. Students scoring 5 on four or more on certain Advancement Placement Tests or 7 on three International Baccalaureate Higher Level Tests may be eligible for Advanced Standing if they meet certain other criteria during their first year of study at Harvard. However, very few students choose to graduate in three years and instead use the full four years to take advantage of Harvard’s many academic, extracurricular and other opportunities.
