The acceptance rate of Harvard University is around 3.4%, which shows that the admission to the university is very selective and only accepts highly qualified candidates.

The Harvard University does not prefer one test over the other; the university accepts either the SAT or the ACT. The university also encourages applicants to submit the test that best highlights their academic strengths.

While an ACT score of 30 is excellent, Harvard University's admitted student average is typically much higher, often in the 33-35 range. A 30 might not be competitive enough on its own for Harvard, but strong academics and extracurriculars could help.
