For the 2022-2023 admissions cycle, Harvard accepted ~5% of applicants. While statistics regarding how many applicants were accepted with specific ACT and GPA combinations aren't readily available, generally students admitted had outstanding high school records (3.9+ GPAs) combined with excellent standardized test scores (ACT 33+), along other qualifications.
In addition to academic achievements, Harvard takes holistic approach when reviewing admissions, considering factors such as:
- Personal Statement
- Academic interests and achievements
- Extracurricular activities
- Leadership
- Community service
- Character
Having a strong mix of academic qualifications and extracurricular activities is vital for demonstrating your well roundedness and passions.
The admissions process is highly selective and unpredictable, so even with strong credentials, it is not possible to guarantee admission.
