Quote from Admissions officer about student research. Research starts with reading!

Harvard admissions materials indicate that students who demonstrate "substantial scholarship or academic creativity," such as through a research paper reviewed by faculty, are far more competitive. Students with these attributes have an admission rate of 68% compared to much lower rates for students without similar achievements.
