University of Harvard

All freshman applicants—both international and U.S. candidates—must complete the Common Application or Universal College Application, along with the required supplements. You will need to submit:

• Common/Universal College Application
• Harvard College Questions and Writing Supplement for the Common Application
• $75 fee or a fee waiver
• SAT or ACT with Writing
• Normally, 2 SAT Subject Tests
• School Report and high school transcript
• Teacher Report (2)
• Mid-Year School Report

A strong knowledge of English is essential for successful study at Harvard, including the ability to understand and express thoughts quickly and clearly. Although you are not required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or other proficiency exams, you may submit your scores if you have done so.

Interested international students are encouraged to have an interview if possible. If an interviewer is not available sufficiently close to you to make an interview possible, the absence of an interview will not adversely affect your candidacy.

If you wish to provide translations of the recommendations submitted on your behalf, please note:

• All translations must include the name of the translator
• A copy of the original (untranslated) reports should accompany the translation
