i found an answer for qs. 12 so i do well when i'm done with my art binder & story binder i'm going to summit those in

I'm here to help explain and answer each of your questions to the best of my ability. Let's get started!

1. The SAT is a standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It assesses your knowledge and skills in reading, writing, and math.

2. Typically, students take the SAT in grades 11 or 12, as it covers material typically taught in high school. However, some students choose to take it earlier to get a head start on preparation.

3. There is no fixed passing score for the SAT. Each college or university sets its own standards for what it considers an acceptable score. Harvard, for instance, looks for highly competitive scores, but keep in mind that SAT scores are just one aspect of the application.

4. Colleges primarily focus on high school grades, as they provide a more comprehensive picture of your academic abilities. However, some colleges may also consider middle school grades as part of their evaluation process.

5. The cost of attending Harvard University can vary depending on factors such as financial aid, scholarships, and individual circumstances. Tuition and fees for the 2021-2022 academic year is around $49,653. However, Harvard provides extensive financial aid options to help make it accessible for students from diverse backgrounds.

6. Harvard offers various art and creative writing classes. They have a Visual and Environmental Studies department for art, and their English department covers creative writing. The specific courses you can take would be listed in their course catalog.

7. To make your college application the best possible, focus on achieving excellent grades, participating in extracurricular activities, and showcasing your talents and passions. Additionally, seek leadership roles, engage in community service, and develop meaningful connections with teachers who can write strong recommendation letters for you.

8. A college application typically includes your personal information, academic achievements, extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, test scores, and an essay or personal statement.

9. Yes, Harvard requires applicants to submit an essay as part of their application. The topic or prompt may vary, but it generally allows you to express your personal story, interests, and aspirations. The length requirement is typically around 500-650 words.

10. The ACT is another standardized test used for college admissions in the United States. It is similar to the SAT but has a slightly different format and covers slightly different content areas.

11. Harvard looks for academically talented students, but there is no specific "grade" requirement. They consider a combination of factors, including grades, test scores, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities.

12. It is not usually required to submit a portfolio for creative writing at Harvard. However, if you have a portfolio of art or writing that you are proud of and believe showcases your skills and passion, you can include it as a supplement.

13. Creating a college binder is a great idea! You can include sections for college research, potential majors or career paths, scholarship information, a timeline of important dates, and any notes or reflections about your college journey.

14. The materials needed for art and creative writing classes at Harvard would depend on the specific courses you take. Once enrolled, you will receive a syllabus that outlines any required materials or textbooks.

15. To impress Harvard, focus on excelling academically, pursuing your artistic passions, and demonstrating leadership and community involvement. Participate in competitions, attend workshops, and build a strong portfolio of your artwork and writing.

16. The number of credits required to graduate high school and attend Harvard depends on the specific high school and its graduation requirements. Harvard's admission requirements focus on your high school academic performance and extracurricular involvement, rather than a specific number of credits earned.

17. To create the best college essay, start by brainstorming personal experiences and stories that reflect your unique qualities, achievements, and passions. Show, rather than tell, your strengths and be genuine in your writing. Revise your essay multiple times for clarity, structure, and grammar. Seek feedback from teachers, mentors, or trusted adults to help improve your essay.

Remember, pursuing your dream takes dedication, hard work, and perseverance. Focus on your goals, continue to explore your passions, and seek opportunities for growth. Good luck on your journey to Harvard and beyond!
