No Why Harvard essay this year?

<p>I've just looked at Harvard supplements and apparently there is no Why Harvard essay this year, which I find very unusual !</p>

<p>Just wondering, do all colleges ask for Why essay in their supplements? I also checked Johns Hopkins and they don't ask for it this year as well =/</p>

<p>May be they wanna make sure they you aren’t applying to college without the basic knowledge about the majors offered or other facts about the college.</p>

<p>Believe me, even some ultra-competitive type CCers have made mistake by saying that they want to major in business or architecture at Harvard. Now, that is a blunder…</p>

<p>Harvard doesn’t care why you want to go to their school. There hasn’t been a “Why Harvard” question on the supplement for years; it’s actually one of the easiest supplements to fill out, which is one reason so many students apply.</p>

<p>Actually, I think the easy supplement still allows one to present their best and full case by asking a supplement essay question.</p>

<p>Thanxx for the responses.
I think the easiest supplement would be Dartmouth’s XD I do find the Peer Evaluation part a bit amusing.</p>

<p>I don’t remember a “Why Harvard?” essay prompt from last year…</p>

<p>They know exactly why y’all apply to Harvard so they don’t need to read about that ^^</p>

<p>C’mon the smart applicant works in “Why Harvard” without being asked – answering What does Harvard offer you and what do you offer Harvard within the requested essays or supplemental info.</p>
