<p>Recently I was mailed an application to Harvard. Safe to say this was a surprise since I had not made any previous contact with them. I was just wondering how common this is and if many of you have experienced the same thing with Harvard or any other universities?</p>
<p>Not any type of sign unfortunately…Harvard mails 60,000+ letters and you can request an application in the mail (DONT - consider the environment). It was either (1) an accident or (2) someone requested a paper copy be sent to your address (??). Either way, keep doing your best but don’t think Harvard is recruiting you. you would KNOW if they are (athletics; extreme intellectual ability)</p>
<p>Thanks I was just curious</p>
<p>They will mail you the application without anyone requesting it. It is part of their promotional mailing.</p>
