  • Yes. Diversity is very important at Harvard. 69% of students there are of ethnic minorities. However, Harvard also looks at GPA, class rank, extra curricular activities, community hours, SAT/ACT scores, and signs of leadership. So while, it may help to be an ethnic minority in the even of receiving a scholarship, remember Harvard is a very elite school, and that it isn't based just off of minority.
  • I disagree. My daughter is at Harvard right now. All Ivy League schools do not offer any academic scholarships or scholarships based on ethnicity. What they do offer is a very, very generous financial aid package. If your family makes 180,000 or less, you will only pay 10% of your families income! If your family makes $65,000 or less, you will receive 100% free tuition!
