Harvard is committed to making educational opportunity accessible. Admission is based on achievement and promise without regard to financial need. A generous financial aid program provides need-based aid to meet every student's demonstrated need.
There is no formula for gaining admission to Harvard. Successful applicants present strong academic credentials, evidence of highly developed talents or interests, motivation and character. We hope that every student who is committed to excellence in its many forms will explore the opportunities at Harvard and consider applying to the College.
