Reply:Harvard is totally overrated. Tanisha, if you want to go to Harvard University, you are going to have to work your butt off (unless you already got the acceptance letter)...
You can take a whole bunch of classes, the classes are very full and the professors just to their lecture and give you work... you have to be motivated, no one is going to tell you to work hard, do HW, study...
I would much rather get into a good school without all the hassle...

I want to learn advanced website designing at Harvard University but i would need $15000.What to do?
I am an Indian student and cannot afford such expense . The course is of two months duration thus i would need atleast about $7000 per month . I can give private tuitions to students upto 12th standard ? Is it easy to find students interested in taking tuitions in areas near to Harvard University ? How can i find search such students once i reach the University ? Roughly what is the fees charged by the tutors per hour in that area ? Are there some jobs available for the summer school students of foreign origin on the University campus also ? If yes then what kind of jobs are they and how much do they pay ?

I'm a student at Harvard right now, and I've gone through the application process, so I can help you out a little bit.
If all you want to do is to take a summer school website class, I would not recommend coming to Harvard. Harvard will not teach you website design better than any other college, and it if you just want to put the Harvard name on your resume, a summer school class won't help.
However, if you want to attend the university itself, as a full-time student, then you can apply, and you have a very large chance of receiving financial aid, as many international students here do. However, it is very difficult to get in, so that might be the hardest part.
If you are looking for jobs - there are many jobs at Harvard, and if you are a Harvard student, you can search on the job listings at www.seo.harvard.edu. Tutors are paid between $12-35, depending on who is paying you and how much experience you have. During the summer, you can always take a full-time job at one of the businesses around Harvard Square. You'll have to work long, hard shifts though. Generally, most jobs in the square pay around $9 an hour.
The advantage of taking a salaried job is that the income flow is constant. Tutoring pays more, but it is hard to secure students.
Good luck!
Reply:Dude, forget Harvard. Look for public universities. they are cheaper, and provide much quality skill and education.
If you are planning to come to US by student visa and again study in a private college like Harvard, you will regret it. Tution for such students are extremely high. Also, no financial aids. Very difficult to get scholarship.
Think twice.

Can I go off to Harvard University as soon as I graduate high school?
I have been wondering if I can go to Harvard College or University when I graduate high school. I always thought I could, but one of my friends said I couldn't. Thank you guys!
Can I go off to Harvard University as soon as I graduate high school?
You'd have to be on the top honors of your class with excellent grades and a high GPA that's more than 4.0. Plus, you'd need to have lots of clubs and activities in your high school career to show that you'd be a great representative of their school.
They do accept first time freshmans into Harvard, but I think what your friends mean is according to the odds of being accepted to Harvard. Harvard is a very hard school to get into because they have very high standards in their students.
Reply:People enter Harvard every September after having graduated high school in June. All you need are VERY high grades, VERY good SATs, a good essay on your application, and a great rating on your interview. A couple thousand do it every year--out of 25-30 thousand who try.
Reply:Of course you can!!! Your friend is wrong.
Reply:It is a little hard to tell without you providing some more information.
The typical Harvard undergraduate student goes to a good high school. Over 75% of the students scored at least 1400 on the SATs with 25% scoring over 1560. 94% of the students are in the top 10% of their HS graduating class -- with most having close to a 4.0 average.
If this is you, you have a chance.
About 11% of those who apply are accepted.
Reply:You can apply for admission to Harvard while still in High School and, if you are accepted, you can start in the fall semester after you graduate from high school. Your friend may have meant that your odds of being accepted are quite long.
Reply:Yes. I mean as long as you've been accepted, hehe :) But yeah, you start the following fall. :)

221/2 percent of all Harvard University students who enroll at the beginning of a school session fail to?
complete the curriculumn requirements to graduate. In 2004, 1500 students were enrolled in Harvard University school sessions. How many students will graduate during 2004?
Is it 1163
338
362
337.5
1154
2. How many students will not graduate?
221/2 percent of all Harvard University students who enroll at the beginning of a school session fail to?
If 22.5% of 1500 students will not graduate:
0.225*1500 = 337.5 students will not graduate.
All of the students left will graduate, which is:
1500 - 337.5 = 1162.5 ~ 1163 students will graduate.
I hope this helps!
Reply:Is it only a one year course? WoW my university course lasted three years (though i am in the UK therefore the systems are different)
Its 1163 will pass 337 will fail (u cant have half a person therefore that one should pass n not fail)
Reply:Percentages mean "per hundred".
22 and a half per hundred won't graduate. That leaves 77 and a half per hundred that will graduate.
There are 15 hundred students, 15 times 77 and a half should be the answer to the question.
However, even midgets count as whole students. Either 1162 or 1163 students will graduate. 1162 is not a possible answer, so select the other one.
The second question is just 1500 minus the first answer. It is asked to give you a chance to see the error you made in the first question, if you didn't read it correctly and answered 337.5 or 338.

Reply:1500 X .225 = 337.5 = 338 = How many students will not graduate
1500 - 338 = 1162

What does it mean when Harvard University said that it would keep an application in their files for 3 years?
My friend's application to Harvard University was rejected, after being placed on the wait list for one and a half months. The school said that they would keep his application in their files for three years. Does it mean that he had a better chance of gaining admission in the next 3 years? If he appeals against the current decision, is there any likelihood of success? Thanks a million!!
What does it mean when Harvard University said that it would keep an application in their files for 3 years?
This means that Harvard University will keep details of the application for 3 years and will be accessible to the details of the previous application when your friend applies again to the university next year.
Your friend will be competing with next year 's applicants and there will be a cut-off point based on next year's applicants. The likelihood of success will be based on your standing among the grades of applicants for next year. Thank you.
Your friend should try other colleges for this year.
Reply:It means "DON'T CALL US... WE WILL CALL YOU"... and I would say he should just go try to get into another school

How is education system in Harvard university?
I'm amazed an American hasn't answered this question, but from all reports I've ever heard Harvard University has a high standard of education - particularly in business studies. Some of the top 500 entrepreneurs in the USA graduated from this establishment. Certainly it would do you no hard whatsoever to have it recorded in your Curriculum Vitae (Resume).
Harvard - founded on the 8th September 1636 - is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and is a member of the Ivy League. It is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Their motto is VERITAS (truth). You can view their web site at:
http://www.harvard.edu
Also there is information on:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/harvard_uni...
Reply:It is extremely tough to get into Harvard. I don't think they even bother with a waiting list, either. However, at least back in my day, the 'common wisdom' (at other Ivy League schools) was that once you get in to Harvard, it's nearly impossible NOT to graduate. Report It

Does anyone here go to Harvard University?
I'm just now going to start high school. I would really like to go there, ever since 4th grade. I have great grades, extracurricular, clubs, and I won a lot of award on awards day, along with some other things. Please tell me what I need because I'm dying to go there.
P.S-I have visited the University many times.
I'm also looking into others like Yale, Princeton, Standford, and a few others, but my dream is to go to Harvard.
I left out some other details, but if I get any questions I will answer.
Thank you!
Does anyone here go to Harvard University?
I just graduated from Harvard, and I (along with all my friends) absolutely loved it and none of us wish we'd gone anywhere else. The only person I know who "hated" it was a girl who lived in my freshman dorm and was getting low-ish grades (several B-'s) in the first-year writing course. She also didn't get along with her super-perky roommate, and had a bit of a meltdown and transferred to Dartmouth. Oh, and Harvard is no longer offering an early admission option, so you're out of luck on that one. Now that I got that out of the way, I'll address your real questions. =)
I wanted to go to Yale starting around the same time you decided on Harvard -- then I switched when I decided I wanted to study math and realized Harvard had the much better program. Having a goal early on is great, but like everyone told me, you could be setting yourself up for major disappointment, so watch out!
It sounds to me like you're doing a lot of the right stuff. I never went overboard with standardized test prep, but if your scores aren't really high, make sure you do everything you can to get them up. Keep your grades as high as possible, too, obviously, and stay as involved as possible with your activities and clubs.
But here's what I think is the key:
While it's important to be very good at everything (being "well rounded"), it's even more important to be *especially* good at one thing in particular (being "well lopsided," as we like to call it). So even if you win lots of awards in lots of areas, make sure you have one that you pursue especially passionately -- as passionately as possible -- even if you love everything equally. You want the admissions people to be able to refer to you as "that X girl" where X can be debate, animal rights, molecular biology research or anything else. You don't want to be just another person who's done tons of little stuff and writes an essay about how important their family is to them, or how much they enjoy studying generally.
There's no absolute recipe for getting in, but that's the best advice I can offer. =) Keep challenging yourself, and you can make it. And once you get there, I promise it will absolutely have been worth it!
Reply:My friend got accepted to Harvard and from what I can read you're off to a great start. Just keep everything up. Take advantage of advanced classes, get involved in extracurricular activities and organizations at your school. I remember when I had my interview with Harvard the interviewer told me that he had once interviewed a girl that he thought would fit in great with the school. She had the grades...everything, but she did not get accepted. So, don't be disappointed if in the end you do not get accepted b/c what Harvard and any Ivy league school tries to do is diversify their campus. One piece of advice that I can give you though, is that if you really want to go to Harvard then apply for early admission, that way your chances of getting in are greater.
Reply:Why do you want to go to Harvard? Sure, it's a great school, but it's not best at everything. You might want to figure out what you want to do first, THEN decide where to go to school.
But if you want to stand out from all the other thousands of valedictorians with straight A's, millions of activities and awards and sports, and great recommendations, here's how you do it.
1) publish a book
2) sign a record deal
3) do original publishable research
4) start a business or sucessful non-profit
That will make you stand out a bit. But nothing is a garruntee.
Reply:i went to Harvard for a year and then transferred to University of Pennsylvania (another ivy league school). To be honest unless your family has money and or influence in the Harvard community, you won't get in. My father was alum and had a lot of cash to give. Honestly, Harvard isn't everything, just a name.....
