<p>I looked at the website and was under the impression that you have to make your first payment ($1000) when you apply to harvard ssp. Is this right?thanks so much for your help :)</p>
<p>no, you just have to pay the nonrefundable $50 fee. After you get accepted, you have to make a first deposit of $1000 till a certain deadline (30 april (?)).</p>
