Harvard Applying to College Guide
Harvard Applying to College Guide
This guide has been distributed to over 6,000 high school principals and superintendents across the Midwest and is the ongoing product of the collaboration of 200 Midwestern high school counselors, Summer Playbook--a free and global travel resource for college students--and The Harvard College Midwest Club (MWC). It attempts to answer many of the questions students may have in the application process while serving as a reference for counselors in what can be an esoteric process. This guide has been supported and peer reviewed by multiple members of the club. Importantly, this information is not endorsed by the Harvard College Admissions Office or any other entity of Harvard; it's the sole opinion and property of its writer and reviewers.
