Below two Good Academic and good score in SAT or Act helps the admission officer in your selection process and distinguishing a student from another.

1. Good Academic: if you have maintained a GPA in your academic it is easier for you to get admission. It is this top criteria on which most of the applications fail. If your application is GPA is not impressive enough your other requirement in the application should be impressive enough.
2. Best high scores on the SAT or ACT and AP tests. Doing extremely well on your SAT or ACT(with Writing ) and AP tests will show selection officers that you are a hard worker with good academic achievements. Just like having a perfect GPA won't make you a shoo-in, a high SAT score and strong AP test results won't guarantee you a spot in Harvard, but it will keep admissions officers interested in your application.

• Don't be worried if your school doesn't offer a ton of AP tests. Not every school offers 20 different AP tests, and the admissions officers will know if your high school does not. Just try to do well on the tests that your school does offer.
• Make sure to take your tests at the right time. If you want to impress Harvard with your SAT score, you'll have to take it well before the application is due. Take the test during your junior year to give yourself enough time to retake it if it's necessary.
