37. I wouldn't assume anything about Barron's test scores either way.

Harvard is so picky hardly anybody gets in. You can have a 4.0 GPA and great test scores and not get into Harvard.

The school he did get into, NYU, has pretty high admission standards. He wouldnt have been admitted there without decent grades and test scores, imo.
