Hey guys, I've started my college applications and plan on applying to Harvard. I'm currently using the Common App for other schools, and I'm wondering, does Harvard accept the Common Application? Or do they have their own unique application?
Yes, Harvard accepts the Common Application. You'll be able to apply using the Common App, which streamlines the process since you're already using it for other schools. In addition to the Common App's general requirements, Harvard has a few supplemental essay questions that you'll need to complete as part of their application. Make sure to give yourself ample time to thoughtfully answer these prompts, as they provide an opportunity for the admissions committee to get to know you better, beyond your academic and extracurricular accomplishments.
