内容简介

This resource delivers admissions advice from the mouths of those who have been there. Reporters for The Harvard Crimson interviewed scores of successful Harvard applicants to put together this collection of 50 applicant profiles. Through each concise account of a single students resume and application process, the reader picks up lessons and strategies that he or she can apply to his or her own approach. In all, several key strategies are addressed, including: How to identify and present your key talent How to submit the perfect application package How to forge and use connections to your advantage And many more. The students profiled in this book were not all valedictorians, star athletes, or Harvard legacies. Many were simply strong all-around applicants who beat the odds and got into one of the countrys most selective institutions. Through their experience, students and their parents see what it takes to get into Harvard and other competitive colleges.
