Application

You may use either the Common Application or the Universal College Application.

Application fee of $65 dollars (or a completed fee waiver request).

Payable by check or money order to Harvard University, or by credit card on-line. Please be certain that the applicant's name appears on the check or money order, and staple it to the front page of the Common Application. If you mail your check separately from the application, please attach a note with your full name and address. For a fee waiver, have your guidance counselor attach a written request to the front of the application.

Harvard Supplement

The supplement can be filled out on-line while submitting the Common Application or Universal College Application. Or you can print a copy and mail it to the Admissions Office.

Official score reports from the SAT I or ACT

Harvard College official codes are 3434 for the SAT I and SAT II (the College Board) and 1840 for the ACT. When registering for tests, please use your name as it will appear on your Harvard application.

Three SAT II Subject Tests

You may take any three subject tests. A candidate whose first language is not English should not take the SAT Subject Test in in his or her native language as one of the three required SAT Subject Tests.

Why do we require three SAT II Subject Tests?

Secondary School Report and Mid-Year School Report

These forms need to be filled out by your school counselor or college adviser. The Secondary School Report should be returned to the Harvard Admissions Office as soon as possible. The Mid Year School Report should be returned in February with your latest grades.

Two Teacher Evaluations

These evaluations must be completed by teachers in different academic subjects who know you well.
