Total honesty, I'm lost for direction on my Harvard supplement. Has anyone found good examples or have tips on where to look? Not sure how creative or formal I should be. Thoughts?
Hey, I totally understand your dilemma! When my child worked on their supplement, we looked for examples to get a sense of what works. One place to find sample essays is CollegeVine's blog – they showcase successful essays and provide helpful analysis: https://blog.collegevine.com/harvard-university-essay-examples
Before you dive into examples, remember that your own voice and story are what matters most. Harvard appreciates creative expressions of thoughts, but also values clarity and well-structured ideas. Keep it authentic, and try to find a balance between formal and casual. Lastly, have confidence in yourself! Good luck, and I hope this helps you find some direction with your Harvard supplement!
