Should I mention my Harvard SSP experience in my Harvard essay?

<p>I attended Harvard SSP last summer and I really liked the Harvard campus and the opportunities Harvard offers. Would it be wise for me to write my Harvard essay about this?</p>

<p>mention what you did / learned at SSP and how it has helped you prepare for college. H doesn’t care how much you like the campus or how much you want to go there.</p>

<p>It would be unwise for that to be your only essay. As a supplement, I mostly agree with menloparkmom. I’d modify her advice in that I think really specific reasons for wanting to go to Harvard are fine/good to include, but I agree they shouldn’t be the focus.</p>
