Admission Representative

<p>Does anyone know how to find the contact info for your regional representative?</p>

<p>don't they send it to you after they get your application? that was my interpretation of it anyway. unless you're an international, and the interview is your responsibility.</p>

<p>Oh, I'm not talking about the interview....I was wondering about the person who first reads your application.</p>

<p>I'm not sure why you'd need it... anyway, after looking, the information doesn't appear to be anywhere. I met a regional representative for my area when he came to my school to give a harvard presentation, but even then he said he wouldn't remember any of us when it came time to read the applications. I don't think they want you contacting them, but harvard does have an undergraduate admissions council that is willing to answer questions.</p>

<p>i asked mine for her info, she wouldnt even give it to me. Instead, she referred to me some part of the website that we can email questions to.</p>

<p>They are assigned on the basis of school and location. The assignees for the RD round are not necessarily the same as for the EA round.</p>

<p>If you don't give me that info, obviously I cannot help you. Your choice.</p>

<p>Byerly...I'm in central Louisiana</p>

<p>Have you been contacted for an interview yet?</p>

<p>what do you people want to do? butter up your rep? this is disgusting. if there were any reason why you should contact your rep, don't you think harvard would've given you their information?</p>

<p>Yale lost the supplemental material that I sent them. I was told that I should send it directly to my admissions representative to avoid this.</p>

<p>Are you talking about Harvard .... or Yale?</p>

<p>I'm applying RD to Harvard. I just don't want the same thing to happen with me again.</p>

<p>on behalf of my friend, i have a question:</p>

<p>hi northstarmom and byerly, this is my first post and i'll make it quick, i took the act twice already and was happy with my english, reading, and math scores. however, my science scores keeps killing me since it's the last section and i stop pacing myself. do you think harvard would be fine i were to take the act 3 times, I only have to work on the science section. thanks for your help.</p>

<p>Nothing wrong with taking the SAT or the ACT multiple times, although there may be some tendency for a reviewer to slightly "discount" results obtained in a third or fourth sitting.</p>

<p>Byerly, i live in westchester, ny.</p>

<p>astrophysicist2b, yeah they do have an undergraduate admissions committee, but some ppl would prefer talking to their actual admissions rep. at dartmouth they gave out sheets with the reps on them. maybe harvard is just inundated with too many apps.</p>

<p>but if i had to send in additional stuff or have questions, i would feel better asking my area rep since that would be the person presenting my case to the adcom.</p>

<p>who is the admission rep? A lady from Harvard came to our school for the college fair, (in canada), is she is rep who reviews our apps in Canada?</p>

<p>Byerly, can you answer this?</p>

<p>bump...</p>

<li><p>I don't suggest that anyone post such identifying info as your school and city on any on-line board. </p></li>
<li><p>If anyone needs to know their adcom's name, the easiest thing to do is to call or e-mail Harvard. I suggest contacting your adcom only if you have an important question or important info to convey. Harvard is not like the schools that give brownie points when students do things like badger adcoms in order to seem interested. If you just call for a trivial reason or to butter up the adcom, my guess is that you are likely to irritate, not impress the adcom.</p></li>

<p>T_T...you mean taking ACT&SATII more than two times is discouraged at Harvard...there goes my hopes and dreams</p>

<p>It's not discouraged... I don't think anyone said that. Byerly said they may slightly discount scores after the second sitting, but it's in no way discouraged. If you show improvement over each of the sittings, it might be a good thing to have more than two, but if your scores don't change at all, they're likely to be "discounted." And if your scores decreased over time... best of luck getting into Harvard!</p>
