Harvard SSP Application

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

Hello~~

I am thinking about applying to Harvard’s Secondary School Program but I was really confused by their online application. I may be completely missing something obvious, so I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question.

I went into the online application and I filled out the basic information (name, graduation year, etc.) and then it brought me to the “pay application fee” page. However, it said that this is the last page of the application, which seemed really strange to me… My assumption is that it will lead me to somewhere to submit recommendations, transcript, etc. after submitting fee…? So if anyone has already submitted the preliminary application stuff, could they shed some light on this?

Also, the site did not specify whether there were written supplementary materials (i.e. short answers/essays) that students had to submit, so I was wondering if anyone had any info on this?

Thanks!

Sorry about replying to this question so late.

I was confused by this too. In order to submit your documents you must pay the fee before it takes you to the portal where you can submit your documents. Once you pay the fee you’ll be able to receive your Harvard login and password and the ability to submit files to the committee.
Your short answers also come after you pay the fee. You only get 20 minutes to write and answer the 6 questions. Don’t worry though, you can copy and paste it and the response only has to be a paragraph long each.
Hope this helps.
