Harvard University

(Cambridge, MA)

Harvard, founded in 1636, is a private, Ivy League university. Radcliffe was established as an annex for women in 1879; all classes and facilities are now coeducational. Its 380-acre campus is located in Cambridge, across the Charles River from Boston. Campus architecture ranges from Bulfinch to H.H. Richardson to Le Corbusier.

Let's say that I am not a genius. I have a 3.4 GPA, meaning I am a "B" Student. So from the Grade perspective I do not look so superb.This doesn't mean I am stupid, I just feel like I won't be taken seriously if I applied. But being admitted really is not about me, its about what I have to offer to this school. I am really looking forward to the opportunity to share my talents and experiences. Talents and experiences are what really make me stand out from being average. Anyway, I understand the tradition of Harvard is to look for the very best and the brightest students. So competing against the rest of the world, would it be worth even applying?

    I'm a freshman in high school, and my dream school has been Harvard ever since I knew what college was. I currently have a GPA ov\f over 4.0, I'm in all enriched classes, and I'm a Pre-IB student. I'm also taking AP along with my IB courses. (will take both SAT and ACT in early fall)

      • Builders' Perspective, Hewlett OER Grantees Meeting 2012
      • Catharina Maracke (Keio University) moderates a panel including Hal Abelson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Ahrash Bissell (Monterey Institute for Technology and Education), and SJ Klein (One Laptop Per Child) to answer the questions: How does OER account for the range of different learning and teaching environments around the world? For instance, how would we describe the OER supply chain as specifically designed for informal learning environments (eg learning games)? How are we supporting teachers to optimize educational outcomes, particularly in challenging environments and to account for learners with special needs? What are driving forces and inhibiting factors for the OER supply? From the 2012 Hewlett OER Grantees Meeting, Wednesday, April 11, 2012. More information here: blogs.law.harvard.edu
