I want to include a list of books for the optional supplement for Harvard. However, my list contains only five non-required books. Should I even bother?
With only 5 books on your list, you might want to reconsider this essay option. see: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1668750-book-list-supplement-essay.html
All right, thanks. Just one more question: in the [url=<a href=“http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/62996080868821734048.png/%5Dportal%5B/url”>http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/62996080868821734048.png/]portal[/url], if there is a check mark next to Application Fee Waiver, does that indicate the Yes/No choice to the question Do you want to request a fee waiver? or that my counselor has faxed a fee waiver to the college?
Prior to submitting your application, you have to pay the $75 fee, or your GC has to have submitted a few waiver on your behalf. So, if the box has been checked it’s an indication AFTER the fact that the fee waiver request was received and approved.
One additional link on the book list you might want to check out: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1798894-supplemental-essay-6-book-list.html
Many thanks. I think I don’t need to submit the optional essay.
