Application Process for Harvard University

Step 1: Prepare Your Application Documents

When applying to Harvard University, you need to gather several important documents:

• Letters of Recommendation (LOR): You need two teacher evaluations. Choose two teachers from different academic subjects who know you well to fill out the Teacher Recommendation forms, which include an evaluation form and a letter of recommendation.
• Essays: A personal essay is required. Here are some possible essay topics: Share a story about a background, identity, interest, or talent that is meaningful to you and that you feel would make your application incomplete without it. Discuss a time you faced a challenge, setback, or failure. Explain how it affected you and what you learned. Reflect on a time you questioned or challenged a belief or idea. What prompted your thinking, and what was the outcome? Describe something someone did for you that made you happy or thankful in a surprising way. How did this gratitude affect or motivate you? Talk about an accomplishment, event, or realization that led to personal growth and a new understanding of yourself or others. Describe a topic, idea, or concept you find so engaging that it makes you lose track of time. Why does it captivate you, and where do you go to learn more? You may share an essay on any topic of your choice. It can be one you have already written, one that responds to a different prompt, or one of your own design.

Step 2: Additional Documents Required

• School Report: This includes a counselor letter and your high school transcript.
• Midyear School Report: Submit this after your first semester grades are available.
• Supplement Questions: Answer five required short-answer questions, each with a 150-word limit. How will your life experiences help you contribute to Harvard's diverse student body? Describe a time you strongly disagreed with someone about an idea or issue. How did you communicate or engage with them, and what did you learn? Briefly describe any extracurricular activities, jobs, travel, or family responsibilities that have shaped who you are. How do you hope to use your Harvard education in the future? What are the top 3 things your roommates might like to know about you?
• English Language Proficiency (ELP) Scores: Submit your ELP scores if required.
• Copy of Passport: Ensure you have a copy of your passport ready.
