OPTIONAL

We do not expect or require applicants to submit supplementary materials or additional essays. We simply want to be certain that you have every opportunity to tell us about yourself. The required components of the application to Harvard provide ample basis to make our admission decisions. However, students with exceptional talents or achievements may send music recordings, slides of artwork or selected samples of academic work or creative writing for us to consider as part of their application files. At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, submissions may be evaluated by faculty. Supplementary materials are not required or expected—and should be sent only if the applicant’s work is unusually advanced. Because we cannot return such materials, applicants should send only duplicates. For more information, please visit our website: www.admissions. college.harvard.edu/apply/application_process/supplements.html. Check here if you are planning to send supplementary materials to be evaluated as part of your application. Please send all supplementary materials to the Admissions Office so that they can be properly labeled and included in your file. DO NOT submit materials directly to academic departments. If you are submitting research materials for review, please include a short statement putting the research project into the context of your academic interests and future plans and clearly indicate the research advisor (if any) with whom you have worked.

Important Information about Early Admission

Students applying to Harvard under the Early Action program are not permitted to apply early elsewhere in the fall under Restrictive Early Action or Early Decision programs. Harvard will rescind any offer of admission to a student who does so. Students are allowed to apply in the fall to public institutions under rolling or other non-binding programs, and they may apply to colleges under Interim Decision programs, that inform applicants of admission after January 1. They may also apply to any institution under its Regular Decision program and to foreign colleges and universities on any application schedule. After students receive notification from Harvard’s Early Action program (around December 15), they are free to apply to any institution under any plan, including binding programs such as Early Decision II. Students admitted under an Early Decision program at another college must withdraw any pending application to Harvard and are not eligible for admission.

Verification of Application Materials

Please be aware that Harvard, like most schools, uses outside companies to help process, review and collect data for applications. For this purpose we share application materials and information with them. Examples of such outside companies include the Common Application and Universal College Application, transcript request services, and services that review materials for plagiarism. These companies in many cases will retain the application information in their databases. We also share application information with our alumni interviewers.

Harvard is the best, was the best, and always will be the best school for me! Although Harvard has featured prime in my dreams, it was only in Feb, 2011, that I started researching deeply into Harvard. Harvard’s impeccable academic record is quite a draw, but for me Harvard has been just a -another me. Going through numerous blogs and information on the web I realized that HARVARD is a place full of life, and brimming with joy. Not discounting the fact that there are many here, who are super genius in Programming, Einstein’s in Physics, but there are also students who have struggled in high school, had fun and were well rounded. The Harvard community stretches beyond the college years, forming a genre of individuals who have gained the ‘Midas Touch.’ On numerous occasions, I have called up the admissions office, exchanged emails with student bloggers’; the only thing that surprised me was their down to earth attitude even though they were at the best institute in the world. This is reflective of Harvard’s spirit which entails creativity, helpfulness, brilliance, and uniqueness. Hence, being groomed within the portals of this institute would surely help me imbibe attributes that will strength my personality. My optimistic and self-initiating drive would help me to make the most out of Harvard- the most challenging school in the world! Harvard will teach me how to survive on my own in the real world, and it will help me bring out my hidden potentials and develop them. I truly believe-“If I can survive Harvard I can thrive anywhere”. Harvard is not just a school, it’s an experience! At Harvard, I would live in the Wigglesworth dorm because although I study; I play, I go out, I plan night outs, I catch movies, and I love having a social life. I look forward to enroll at HARVARD as it provides an incredibly diverse, yet cohesive community. Having initiated various clubs at my school; I would start one at Harvard: the Troll Club. I have designed and submitted a lot of rage comics to Facebook administrators and my wall is full with it! At the club, the students can create rage comics of the events that happen in their everyday life and troll others. It would definitely help the students to blow off some steam and de-stress themselves. My attitude to study hard and play harder will enable me to enjoy and cherish every moment at Harvard. I want to attend Harvard to challenge myself. Although I know how demanding my academic classes would be, yet this breathtaking environment would enable me to foster some amazing friendships with my peers. Harvard is like no place in the world, and I would find a close group of friends, with diverse backgrounds, in order to make through it. We’d struggle together and help one another through hard times. At Harvard, I would bring out my personal best rather than competing with my peers. I love to learn and will truly strive to make a difference. I want to fail, succeed, cry, and live in a closely knit community: Harvard-my home away from home. Harvard has all that I have ever wanted: Physics, research Labs, professors doing research in high energy physics, nuclear and particle physics, and plasma and fusion; smart and hardworking classmates, best professors in the world, community service, fun and social experiences. I hope to immerse myself in Harvard's innovative culture and take advantage of it.
At Harvard, I would major in Physics with an emphasis on applied physics. In addition to them, I would also love to undertake research, starting from my freshman year. After gaining a thorough understanding of physics, by my 2nd year, I wish to do research under Professor. John M. Doyle, and Professor Richard Wilson. As I have been doing theoretical Nuclear and Particle physics research at my high school, I wish to continue to do the same, under their esteemed guidance. Like all scientific discoveries, discovered through mutual research and teamwork, I would compare my hypothesis with their proven research. Although, I have been

doing deep theoretical research into high energy nuclear and particle physics, yet I need them to guide me in the direction, to achieve better results. I have to collaborate their findings along with my ideas to make real progress towards achieving nuclear fusion. Unlike most research of today who is researching into neutrinos, heavy ion colliders; my interest and belief lie in electron and proton, as I believe them to be the key to particle beam and nuclear fusion. After gathering all pieces on theoretical high energy physics, I would move on to Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics, hopefully at ATLAS, Geneva. I am ecstatic, waiting to read books from the famous Harvard Physics Research library. I have always believed that high energy Nuclear and Particle physics is the key to attaining stable burning plasma, I would integrate it to my degree in physics.
