I've heard different things about applying to Harvard – some say it's through the Common App, others mention a separate application portal. Can someone clarify this for me? I'm trying to plan my application strategy.
Harvard, like many other universities, does accept applications through the Common Application. It streamlines the process since you can apply to multiple schools with one set of materials. However, you'll still need to complete Harvard's specific supplemental questions within the Common App.
These additional questions help Harvard get a better sense of who you are beyond your grades and test scores. Keep in mind to carefully check all the requirements for the Harvard application on their admissions website or within the Common App portal itself to ensure you provide all necessary information and documents. Good luck with your application strategy!
