<p>Hi Brandon,
Did you get accepted into the ALB degree program? If so, how tough was it to get in? Also, how well did you do in your Expository Writing class? I plan to enroll in this class at the Harvard Summer School. </p>
<p>As a ALB degree candidate, I also plan to apply as a Special Student at Harvard College to do a major in Sociology with the Sociology Department, after I have completed my first 8 classes. </p>
<p>However, I will have to re-apply for a second year as a special student to finish all of my upper level Sociology classes. It would be the equivilent of one fulltime academic school year at Harvard College. It’s no different than what a visiting would do, since he is allowed to do a fulltime academic school year. In contrast, a Special Student is limited to 2 classes a semester for one school year. So an extension for one additional year would make sense. The 4 regular semesters as a Special Student at Harvard College would equal to one fulltime academic school year.</p>
<p>At least that is how I look at it. Until I know how well I’ll perform in my Expository Writing class, I am going to look at this matter one semester at a time. Let me know of your thoughts about my letter.</p>
