Harvard University

Complete the Harvard Questions with the Common Application or Coalition Application. This includes the following five required short-answer questions, each with a 150 word limit. 

  1. Harvard has long recognized the importance of enrolling a student body with a diversity of perspectives and experiences. How will the life experiences that shaped who you are today enable you to contribute to Harvard?

  2. Describe a time when you strongly disagreed with someone about an idea or issue. How did you communicate or engage with this person? What did you learn from this experience?

  3. Briefly describe any of your extracurricular activities, employment experience, travel, or family responsibilities that have shaped who you are.

  4. How do you hope to use your Harvard education in the future?

  5. Top 3 things your roommates might like to know about you. 

*Please note that the Harvard supplement is separate for the Coalition Application, so you must submit both the application AND supplement for your application to be considered complete.
