“Hi everyone! I’m currently a senior in high school with a strong academic record and active in several extracurriculars. I’ve set my sights on applying to Harvard, but I’m worried about how competitive the scholarship process is. Given the high number of applicants and the rigorous selection criteria, what specific strategies can I use to improve my chances of receiving a scholarship? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!”
Hello Juneta,
To improve your chances of getting a Harvard scholarship, keep a high GPA, get strong test scores, and be active in extracurriculars. Write a standout personal statement, get good recommendations, and provide accurate financial information. Research and apply for scholarships, highlight your unique qualities, and stay updated on deadlines. Networking with Harvard students or alumni can also help.
