Hey everyone!
I know it’s early, but never too early to collectively stress about college apps.
Post any helpful advice or links for others in the same boat.
Thanks!
For anyone who knows about legacy at Harvard . . . Is it still a factor in the RD round or just te ED round?
It has more weight in ED but still shows up in RD
When will the CSS application begin for Class of 2021 Applicants?
And if we receive any scholarship from Harvard, should we pay the amount after college?
I’m viewing my application as a nice, 2% lottery ticket.
Ahh idk whether I should apply to Brown ED and Harvard RD or Harvard REA and Brown ED!! I have legacy at Harvard so…
Please clarify what you mean by this. Harvard’s fin aid scholarship, if any, is a grant – not to be repaid.
Fin Aid recipients get a combo of possible USG (Pell) grants, Harvard grant and work study. The rest is to be made up by yours (summer earnings) and your family (EFC). So for instance, if Harvard expects your costs (tuition, room board, incidentals, books, travel) to be $60K,
your package might look like this, for example:
EFC: $10K
Summer earnings $3K
Work Study: $4K
Pell Grant $5K
Harvard grant: $38K
With the first three items ($17K), you’re expected to pay for incidentals, books, travel and whatever of the Tuition, room and board isn’t covered by the $43K grant money. This bill will come each semester.
ACT/SAT scores I guess?
