<p>I noticed that in the Exclusive Common App user list Harvard is no longer listed?</p>
<p>Does this mean that next year harvard will have both their own app
and the common app (like Princeton)?</p>
<p>anybody in the know .... :confused:</p>
<p>There must be somebody out there who visited Harvard recently
who should know more about this ....?</p>
<p>Does it matter?</p>
<p>apparently it does matter according to at least the hernandez book
on college application.....</p>
<p>...i have no hard stats for example on folks who apply to Pton
and use Common App V Pton App who are comparable......</p>
<p>Don't believe everything you read in books.</p>
<p>Common app with their supplement and something called the Universal app ....
seems to be the two types of app Harvard is using for 2008.</p>
<p>universities sign a contract saying they give equal weight to common app or their own app.</p>
<p>but it's like signing ocntract saying they dont discriminate against race...lol
mentally it perhaps still affects just like a urm does.
when 2 similar applicants are going for one spot, they might take the one using the university's own app.
probably a very minor thing though, less than AA, sports recruitment, legacy...etc</p>
<p>This will explain it
