A Few Questions

<p>I am a junior, and I have a question for those who are attending Harvard.</p>

<p>Why do you think you got in?
What's your major/area of focus?
Do you have any advice for a high school junior hoping to apply in the fall? (If so, what?)</p>

<p>I'm a Dad, not a student, but I thought you ought to know - you can no longer apply to Harvard in the fall since they've discontinued Early Action. But here's a piece of advice that I hope you'll agree is sound. Begin now collecting your best essays. Save on your hard drive all your best writing and pick three or four that you want to find a way to edit for use on your college apps. Then, once you're done applying, you can adapt some of them to use in applying for outside scholarships as well.</p>

<p>He can apply in the (Northern Hemisphere) autumn of 2007 before the regular admission deadline (sole application deadline) for Harvard class of 2012. </p>

<p>I'm not a Harvard student, but my advice to the OP is to enjoy high school, do well in class and be active in your favored activities, and then work thoughtfully and carefully on your application in the fall.</p>
