<p>So I looked at the Harvard website and found last year's application. I looked through all of it and I only saw the common app. essay. Does that mean that Harvard has no supplementary essays?</p>
<p>The Harvard supplement to the common app suggests some optional essay topics, and they’re truly that - optional. So, if you feel like your application requires more information, then go for it. Otherwise, no need to do the extra work.</p>
<p>Here is last year’s supplement; it hasn’t changed in many years. The current supplement will be available on the Common App after August 1st: <a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/forms/supplement_1112.pdf[/url]”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/apply/forms/supplement_1112.pdf</a></p>
<p>Awesome. I doubt that the extra essay will make my application any better honestly. But I’ll consider it.</p>
