Great video! Your channel deserves more recognition for what you do. You've really inspired me to be the person I want to be and I'm looking forward for next video!
Hey Josh, thank you so much for your video! It was fun to watch and helped me feel better about the journey I'm starting. Will be doing my first gateway class this summer. Wishing you ultimate success and joy in your endeavors!
Thank you so much for this video. I’m from Brazil, go to public university, which are the best. So here we say that get into the university isn’t the problem, the problem is leave it with a degree. Make the Harvard Extension must to be kind of it. And congratulations on your journey
This is fascinating! Thank you for this! Columbia has a similar program. It's called "Prove Your Way In." As long as you get at least a "B" in everything you take, you're in.
I'm glad to hear that perfect grades aren't seen as a window into a students capabilities. I attend a school that doesn't challenge me. I tend to drift off and reject studying. I like to pursue different fields that are not offered at my school.
I found your videos through your "i got into harvard" video when i was applied to Harvard Ed this year. Subscribed right after; vid quality is so good. Yes, harvard extension is not recognized as "Harvard" with a capital H by many people, but regardless, if you go out of Boston, most people don't know the difference. It's definitely stigmatized by the other schools at Harvard, and is not considered part of the "top" schools at the university like Harvard business, law, or even Harvard college, but regardless, it's not really what school you go to, it's what you do with it that really matters. I have friends who went to ivy's for undergrad and are living in their parents house....so yeah. Good for you Josh!
This is absolutely not true. All faculty, students and staff have treated me and all HES students like family. No one has ever said one bad word about a HES student at Harvard. If anyone does so, they clearly don’t go to Harvard. HES has been a part of Harvard for over a century. It’s not some online school that got developed ten years ago…lol. Bollocks. It’s one of the hardest schools at Harvard and is recognized as such. Anyone trying to attack a Harvard student from any of the 13 colleges is just a hater. Call it what it is. Good ole fashioned jealousy.
Nice. Great description! ALM 2016, Information Systems Management. I had an outstanding experience! And, it absolutely helped to advance my career. I highly recommend this path.
Other Harvard schools do not possess greater depth per se. It’d be better to highlight the main difference between the ALM Management degree program’s shorter length (12 courses) v. a traditional/HBS MBA (~18 courses). The HES ALM Mgmt. degree is constitutionally different from an MBA: The avg. age of a Harvard MBA student is 27, whereas the ALM degree candidate (“admitted student,” for the uninitiated) is 35. The ALM candidate generally has more work experience. The ALM graduate program reflects the avg. amt. of required courses for a master’s: 12. This degree is *generally* for working professionals, parents, and others with real-life responsibilities, professional work experience, and *insane* work ethic/drive. The ALM would be more appropriately compared with an Executive Master’s in Management[/IT/Finance/_____], MPS, or Master’s in [Field]. Conversely, other master’s degree programs at HU are of the same length as HES’ and are qualitatively equal. Josh is absolutely correct, however, about HBS’ territoriality: They are simply maintaining their micro (intra-Harvard) brand, especially given the fact that the HBS MBA costs ~$220k. (Tuition only will run you ~$140k). In stark contrast, a Harvard Extension graduate degree in business will cost you ~$35k for tuition and somewhere in the ballpark of $40-60k *out the door,* considering living expenses, and how much you need to borrow. If you somehow NEED an MBA, search for EMBAs or residential MBAs for your employer to bless. However, if you need the best professional or academic education possible-partisan politics aside 😡-I couldn’t think of a better, custom-tailored tier-one program to fit my professional-advancement needs. Chuck elitism and insecurity, boys and gals. If it seems like it’s for you, visit campus, interview alumni m, students, and staff, and then DON’T HESITATE; take the plunge. After finishing a traditional Ivy BA and top-rated European programs years before, I needed a non-resident Ivy grad degree bc of employment constraints. (I rejected a shoo-in to an Ivy law school straight from the dean’s mouth. I’m happy I did. And while the elitist, old-guard admin is doing its damndest to keep antiquated, academically inaccurate monikers in place, don’t worry about it; it’s being handled by yours truly and fellow admitted friends. Confidence + Goal in Mind + Extraordinary Discipline + Regular Workouts + Proper Sleep Hygiene + The Hardest Working SOB You Know + Modesty and Self-Respect and -Care: That is the formula to the ALB or ALM, as the case may be. This ^ right here is proof of the finals insomnia. Don’f worry; it’ll be worth it. God bless as never give up. You can and WIKK earn the education you desire and for which you work harder than anyone else. Now, just apply! 🙂👍🏼
Great video man. I'm at Georgetown getting my MPS and wish I had seen this video a few years ago. Maybe I would have tried to go that direction. Regardless, you clearly have set yourself up for great things! Cheers, Alex
You're awesome bro. I have been accepted to few masters abroad and choose to go to University of Western Australia to pursue a master of Biotechnoly. Since HES is online, I thought about doing double degree over there but wasn't so sure about it. Well, now I am! And in fact, I am considering to pursue a business one! Thank you for the inspiring video!
If you were applying for a job would you have to specify that you attended the extension school, or could you just say you graduated from Harvard, period?
HES has very specific guidelines (which have been debated) about what it says on your resume. The official way to put it on there is "Harvard University, Master of liberal arts (A.L.M.) in Extension Studies."
A lot of people sadly try to sneak it by HR by just saying Harvard. Write it down honestly, because if you get caught you're guaranteed to not get the job.

Hello Josh! First, thank you very much for your time doing these videos. I have a doubt: is it possible to join Harvard for a master's degree through the Harvard Extension School? Best regards, Felipe.
im currently a grade 12 student in Canada. Through my high school year i did very poorly in grade 10 and 11 due to me being sick and other reasons. Though i was able to change my life around, receiving high marks in grade 12 with a lot of volunteer work, community service and after school activities. ive put so much effort and changed my life completely. Finishing off with a high gpa , Harvard would be my dream school though im afraid my past will come back to haunt me as my past marks were not good. do you think i have a chance? :(
This is exactly why the extension school exists! To help those who want to go, but weren't perfect through high school. I say you should look more into it.
ThePathToJannah Josh Drean Try the next set of gfa.asu.edu courses and if you can also in enroll in an HES open enrollment course in the Winter semester (Jan-April) in over 300+ courses
heres the deal, being sick is not an excuse sadly, unless in a medically induced coma, there are students who've had strokes who have nil short term memory and recall abilities, there are students who work full time and dont sleep for over 2 days and still get shit done! push through, overcome life problems and excuses, no excuse there are military veterans who are missing limbs and eye balls and have PTSD and get good grades
Wow this is inspirational! Can you do a video on benefits of Harvard over other schools? Do students in extension school really have more opportunities?
Thanks for linking my video, “Is Harvard Extension Really Harvard?” I would add that it is a little misleading to say that HES is the easier way to get into Harvard, the admissions process may be unique but it isn’t a backdoor to Harvard, many people who took courses to get admitted (that I was in) had to drop out because they couldn’t keep up with the coursework. HES is Harvard.
I want to go for the masters in Literature and creative writing at Harvard even though I already have a Masters Degree. I think I just want the experience and want the learning, and I have no idea if this would actually get me a job. I am SOOO excited because I looked and the 3 gateway classes are online. I’ll be active duty Air Force, hoping I can swing it at the same time.
Great Video Man! I am about to start an MBA in one of the leading business school in my continent (South America), But I am really considering to study the same master as you (management) as a complement to my MBA. One important thing to mention is that if you take the edx Micromaster Supply Chain Management from the MIT, you get to waive 4 courses at the Harvard Master in Management from Extension school. I have one question ¿What does your diploma exactly say? ¿Harvard University / Harvard Extension?¿Does it says on-line?
I love your videos! And your attitude, I feel like you would be an amazing person to just hang with. I actually would love to visit Boston, I live in Philadelphia but Boston is definitely on my list. I will also be turning 19 soon and geez, I wish I worked much harder in high school than I did. Especially because since my mom is the Senior director of HR at Eastern University, if I had the grades for it I could've totally went to Villanova for free! Or I would've at least just been eligible to attend Harvard if I maintained a 4.1+ But I'm so glad you informed us about this, I had no idea. I'm gonna be a Creative writing/Film and Art major but there's also this side to me that desires to be a History teacher at a private school overseas, or a professor at a University. Sigh. So many roads to take but I will always remember when you said, "Success is not so much about talent or skill but setting your sights on a very specific desire. If you can be specific on what you want, it's like the universe will align to give it to you. Just dial it in, focus on it, and it'll happen." That is definitely a quote that I will live by!
Your video was smooth and fluid. This is the first video about HES that I have seen where the student/alumni haven't mumbled or gave an unprofessional demonstration filled with "um's" and other filler words. Thank you for that. I was beginning to wonder about the validity of course work due to the stammering I have witnessed. It's difficult to get a read about an institution without competency in how people describe their experiences. Again, your presentation is greatly appreciated.
Hi! Yeah, check out this link for more about the english test www.extension.harvard.edu/registration-admissions/course-registration/english-proficiency-requirement-registration
I lost my nursing license 3 years ago due to a stupid conduct mistake. Nothing illegal I just messed up my life. But now I’m on the right track. My life is totally different now. Do you think they look at previous employers or conduct in workplace? I’m so nervous! I came all this way and it’s been my dream to study business.
Many of the graduates from HES are middle-aged working professionals. Are students just out of their undergrad can go to HES? Please clarify if it is only for middle-aged peeps or students applying right after Undergrad have a fair shot.
Helo Josh! Nice to see your video.. I have some question, i saw the web of HES and i can't find Thesis in final year, Am i Right if this program without Thesis?
Hi, I would love to know more about Gatekeeper Courses. How long will it take to finish? I'm living in Texas now and might have to move there temporarily to get it done.
yes that is true. i would say that it's more quality hardwork than having a great an act test. I hate taking tests. Glad my college never push us for that
Thanks so much for sharing your great heart. My question is how long does the process takes from initial application to fully acceptance? and what is the average amount of funding required prior to applying?
Hi Josh! I'm Jacopo from Italy, How many years of work experience are required to apply for a HES Master like yours? I thought HES education was mainly for experienced professionals!
Ah ha, I see had attended the Info Session they held earlier this month. Still amazes me that hundreds (nearly a thousand?) attend this every year. Did you attend the breakout workshops also?
@@leapgen6284 oh okay! Thank you so so so much for replying! Thank u for taking your precious time out to help someone! Most people just ignore! It made my day! Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart! Stay blessed! :)>>>>>>>100000000000000
so, will they look into how my grades were in middle school? my grades in 8th grade grade right now are *terrible* because of procrastination, but now im starting to build up. also, any tips on what i should focus on in school? :(
hey Josh, i know this video is literally 4 years old but i just wanted to ask if extension school students are able to live in dorms, if i google it it says extension school students and undergrads aren't eligible to live in HUH units, that's kinda confusing because undergrads are required to live on campus.
Yeah, that’s a good question. Generally speaking, HES students aren’t given access to the dorms. I’m sure you could contact the admin office and see if there are exceptions. The extension staff is helpful in finding accommodations that work for you.
Josh, I won`t be able to come to Boston for the Gatekeeper courses.. isn`t there a way so that I could prepare for the test at home and give the test online?
They do offer online options and make exceptions for people who can't come to campus. You might want to get in touch with them to ask about the specifics at www.extension.harvard.edu/contact-us
Shawn Humphreys haha, great Q. Every course is different and so it’s hard to say. I will say this, they are harder than just the regular HES courses, so if a regular course is a 6, the gatekeeper courses are an 8. That being said, you got this! If you work hard enough you. will. pass.
Thanks for responding quick! I honestly figured that getting in is harder than actually being there. Ill be going in for my undergrad bachelor for business!
So I've already done MBA, ( these opportunities don't show up when I am looking for it then..sigh) but I wasn't satisfied with it, because of the uni I went to. I am 2015 pass-out and I am still looking for opportunities to groom me in the business field. Do you think Iwill be eligible for HES? If so, what would you suggest me to apply for first?
If you trying to use this as a door-opener in the business/finance world I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if you already have an MBA. There is a lot of variance in if this helps you in job hunting. Do it if you want to learn a new skill set
Thank you for your video. I was wondering if Harvard Extension school have credit course. i am a high school student, but i want to go to NYU and BU. Can i just get the Harvard extension school offer then transfer to the NYU or BU.? What about the credit, can i transfer the Harvard extension school credit to the other college? Is that will be accepted? Hope you reply me soon, thanks a lot.
Okay I'm 15 years old and I've always dreamt of getting accepted into Harvard but firstly I'm greek and secondly I don't think I can afford to go there.Do you thing my experience in volleyball would help? What do you suggest I do?
Μary J yeah, that helps! The best thing you can do is talk to an advisor at the school and they can put together an action plan with you. It is possible if you want it enough
Hey i just wanna ask u what about if i didn't graduate from hight school yet ,can apply now without GPA of my baccalaureate exam ?? Plz reply i really need to know
Hey Josh, I’ve always dreamed of going to Harvard but saw that it’s too hard to go to it until I saw your video. If after attending the extension school, can my degree help me pursue a masters?
You can apply at this link th-cam.com/users/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.extension.harvard.edu%2Fresources-policies%2Fresources&redir_token=-0n4xgo174nFfCb67s26DT3iibN8MTUxMTY5OTkxNEAxNTExNjEzNTE0&v=GRTtVa-xX0A&event=video_description
This is the equivalent to the purgatory. The Harvard's Gods love us sooo much that they want us to go to heaven (Harvard) and gave us (sinners) the oportunity to redime ourselves... Priceless... I wonder how much time these three courses take?
They're normal, semester-long, courses. You could complete all three in one semester and enroll the following semester. These courses also count towards your degree.
I'm a University of London graduate looking to apply for an MBA at Harvard once I've progressed far enough in my career. Will extension school add weighting to my application?
cyberhack037@gmail.com has excellent hacking skills. I will totally recommend them for your school grades change to what you want, transcript alter without traces. Regards Stella
I've just taken admission in the bachlors degree for architecture and between 2k25 to 2k27 I want to do the master from the Harvard and other option I've taken as Oxford and MIT does it worth it to get into these universities as a international student sometimes it could be lil hard to manage their expances and I from India and I wanted to get into one of these universities in future
There are alternative options for student aid and you only need to take one on campus. Most courses offer online classes with an on campus weekend, which counts as your on campus course, so essentially you only have to fly into campus for one week.
I'm from the UAE and I'm in 8th grade going to 9th and harvard is my dream to get in to,wish i could live in it is like perfect and I'm studying in a american school, i hope in can get in.:) people don't chase you dreams RUN AFTER THEM:) great video.
It's weighted. Because the majority of schools do not offer higher GPA for A+ grades, colleges neutralize this by allowing a weighted GPA that includes AP and honors classes.
Is it easy to get into a master's or a PhD program in a different school after getting a bachelor from HES ? My interest is in political science, if anyone sees the comment please reply so we can chat 😢 Thank you for the video!

Great Video Man! I am about to start an MBA in one of the leading business school in my continent (South America), But I am really considering to study the same master as you (management) as a complement to my MBA. One important thing to mention is that if you take the edx Micromaster Supply Chain Management from the MIT, you get to waive 4 courses at the Harvard Master in Management from Extension school. I have one question ¿What does your diploma exactly say? ¿Harvard University / Harvard Extension?¿Does it says on-line?
Thanks I got into harvard ❤❤❤
Congratulations James!!!
I love your videos! And your attitude, I feel like you would be an amazing person to just hang with. I actually would love to visit Boston, I live in Philadelphia but Boston is definitely on my list. I will also be turning 19 soon and geez, I wish I worked much harder in high school than I did. Especially because since my mom is the Senior director of HR at Eastern University, if I had the grades for it I could've totally went to Villanova for free! Or I would've at least just been eligible to attend Harvard if I maintained a 4.1+ But I'm so glad you informed us about this, I had no idea. I'm gonna be a Creative writing/Film and Art major but there's also this side to me that desires to be a History teacher at a private school overseas, or a professor at a University. Sigh. So many roads to take but I will always remember when you said, "Success is not so much about talent or skill but setting your sights on a very specific desire. If you can be specific on what you want, it's like the universe will align to give it to you. Just dial it in, focus on it, and it'll happen." That is definitely a quote that I will live by!
Wow, thanks for sharing all of this. I believe it's never too late to live the life that you love so start today and you'll do amazing things!
Your video was smooth and fluid. This is the first video about HES that I have seen where the student/alumni haven't mumbled or gave an unprofessional demonstration filled with "um's" and other filler words. Thank you for that. I was beginning to wonder about the validity of course work due to the stammering I have witnessed. It's difficult to get a read about an institution without competency in how people describe their experiences. Again, your presentation is greatly appreciated.
Great video! I appreciate it
Have you done it? If yes, How was your experience ? I want to take this route and will appreciate any suggestions you have.
This is so inspiring.
Good to know their is another way into Harvard. I probably won't go, but my friend will love this new information.
Olivia Marie right on! Pass it along!
Hi Josh. Can you please tell us a little bit about the English test before taking the courses? Thanks.
Hi! Yeah, check out this link for more about the english test www.extension.harvard.edu/registration-admissions/course-registration/english-proficiency-requirement-registration
Josh Drean Thanks!
I lost my nursing license 3 years ago due to a stupid conduct mistake. Nothing illegal I just messed up my life. But now I’m on the right track. My life is totally different now. Do you think they look at previous employers or conduct in workplace? I’m so nervous! I came all this way and it’s been my dream to study business.
HES is predicated on how well you do in the first three gate keeper courses, not your history. You should be good to go
How long are you going to be in Cambridge?
till 2019 at least
@@joshdreanITS 2019 :D
Is it possible to attend HES overseas and through online courses (so you don't need to be present at Harvard campus)?
Many of the graduates from HES are middle-aged working professionals. Are students just out of their undergrad can go to HES? Please clarify if it is only for middle-aged peeps or students applying right after Undergrad have a fair shot.
Does Harvard extension school offer an Astronomy/astrophysics department
*google*
@@zacharybohlman4069 that's my bestfriend!
Helo Josh! Nice to see your video.. I have some question, i saw the web of HES and i can't find Thesis in final year, Am i Right if this program without Thesis?
Certain programs do require a thesis. Others do not. It just depends on what you want to study
I like how honest you are 😍
Hi, I would love to know more about Gatekeeper Courses. How long will it take to finish? I'm living in Texas now and might have to move there temporarily to get it done.
The gatekeeper courses can be completed in one semester. You can complete them all online.
yes that is true. i would say that it's more quality hardwork than having a great an act test. I hate taking tests. Glad my college never push us for that
I'm a simple guy!
I see "easy way", I click like B)
Thanks so much for sharing your great heart. My question is how long does the process takes from initial application to fully acceptance? and what is the average amount of funding required prior to applying?
Hi Josh! I'm Jacopo from Italy,
How many years of work experience are required to apply for a HES Master like yours? I thought HES education was mainly for experienced professionals!
Jacopo Brignola you don’t need any work experience. If you have an undergraduate degree then you can apply.
Ah ha, I see had attended the Info Session they held earlier this month.
Still amazes me that hundreds (nearly a thousand?) attend this every year.
Did you attend the breakout workshops also?
Yeah man, it was great. Are you going to apply?
Hi! Great video! I’d still like to know if my freshman grades aren’t good, but my other grades our up till senior year, can I still get in? 😬
Oh yeah for sure! Bump up those grades if you can. Also, start getting involved in extracurriculars. they really like to see that.
@@leapgen6284 oh okay! Thank you so so so much for replying! Thank u for taking your precious time out to help someone! Most people just ignore! It made my day! Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart! Stay blessed! :)>>>>>>>100000000000000
Hey Josh! Very inspired from the video you made! Is there a way that I can contact you in private to ask you much more about the extension school? (:
Sure thing, my contact info is on my website www.joshdrean.com
Will this bachelor in extension studies allow you to pursue an MBA at Harvard University?
Once you are ready to submit your application after completing the Gatekeeper courses, how much do they ask regarding previous university experience?
Jeeper's Hangouts I think they ask for transcripts as a formality. But nothing beyond that.
how did you find the management degree? do you think is it manageable to take one course at a time whilst working full time
i saw you yesterday at my school thank you
so, will they look into how my grades were in middle school? my grades in 8th grade grade right now are *terrible* because of procrastination, but now im starting to build up. also, any tips on what i should focus on in school? :(
only highschool matters
Josh may I know the duration of the course. And is there a facility of providing i20 to international students?
hey Josh, i know this video is literally 4 years old but i just wanted to ask if extension school students are able to live in dorms, if i google it it says extension school students and undergrads aren't eligible to live in HUH units, that's kinda confusing because undergrads are required to live on campus.
Yeah, that’s a good question. Generally speaking, HES students aren’t given access to the dorms. I’m sure you could contact the admin office and see if there are exceptions. The extension staff is helpful in finding accommodations that work for you.
i like your honesty
Josh, I won`t be able to come to Boston for the Gatekeeper courses.. isn`t there a way so that I could prepare for the test at home and give the test online?
They do offer online options and make exceptions for people who can't come to campus. You might want to get in touch with them to ask about the specifics at www.extension.harvard.edu/contact-us
But what if I want to go but I have a low SAT score.
I am planning on applying next month. Are the gatekeeper courses difficult from 1-10? 1 being simple kindergarten math to 10 being rocket science
Shawn Humphreys haha, great Q. Every course is different and so it’s hard to say. I will say this, they are harder than just the regular HES courses, so if a regular course is a 6, the gatekeeper courses are an 8. That being said, you got this! If you work hard enough you. will. pass.
Thanks for responding quick! I honestly figured that getting in is harder than actually being there. Ill be going in for my undergrad bachelor for business!
So I've already done MBA, ( these opportunities don't show up when I am looking for it then..sigh) but I wasn't satisfied with it, because of the uni I went to. I am 2015 pass-out and I am still looking for opportunities to groom me in the business field. Do you think Iwill be eligible for HES? If so, what would you suggest me to apply for first?
If you trying to use this as a door-opener in the business/finance world I wouldn't recommend it. Especially if you already have an MBA. There is a lot of variance in if this helps you in job hunting. Do it if you want to learn a new skill set
Thank you for your video. I was wondering if Harvard Extension school have credit course. i am a high school student, but i want to go to NYU and BU. Can i just get the Harvard extension school offer then transfer to the NYU or BU.? What about the credit, can i transfer the Harvard extension school credit to the other college? Is that will be accepted? Hope you reply me soon, thanks a lot.
Do the 3 gate keeper classes you mention have to be taken on campus?
Eduardo Anaya no. It all depends on what degree you are seeking.
3:30 LOL
Okay I'm 15 years old and I've always dreamt of getting accepted into Harvard but firstly I'm greek and secondly I don't think I can afford to go there.Do you thing my experience in volleyball would help? What do you suggest I do?
Μary J yeah, that helps! The best thing you can do is talk to an advisor at the school and they can put together an action plan with you. It is possible if you want it enough
Thank you!
Hey i just wanna ask u what about if i didn't graduate from hight school yet ,can apply now without GPA of my baccalaureate exam ?? Plz reply i really need to know
Hey Josh, I’ve always dreamed of going to Harvard but saw that it’s too hard to go to it until I saw your video. If after attending the extension school, can my degree help me pursue a masters?
Absolutely! You can even earn your masters at the extension school.
Josh Drean how can I apply to go if I’m under 21 by the time I graduate
You can apply at this link th-cam.com/users/redirect?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.extension.harvard.edu%2Fresources-policies%2Fresources&redir_token=-0n4xgo174nFfCb67s26DT3iibN8MTUxMTY5OTkxNEAxNTExNjEzNTE0&v=GRTtVa-xX0A&event=video_description
Thanks for the information..
You bet. Come join us!
This is the equivalent to the purgatory. The Harvard's Gods love us sooo much that they want us to go to heaven (Harvard) and gave us (sinners) the oportunity to redime ourselves... Priceless...
I wonder how much time these three courses take?
They're normal, semester-long, courses. You could complete all three in one semester and enroll the following semester. These courses also count towards your degree.
I'm a University of London graduate looking to apply for an MBA at Harvard once I've progressed far enough in my career. Will extension school add weighting to my application?
cyberhack037@gmail.com has excellent hacking skills. I will totally recommend them for your school grades change to what you want, transcript alter without traces. Regards Stella
i am out of america and have not travel there yet, therefore what is the website(s) for the online study and how am i eligible for this study?
what report card do you need to give i mean what grade to what grade
I've just taken admission in the bachlors degree for architecture and between 2k25 to 2k27 I want to do the master from the Harvard and other option I've taken as Oxford and MIT does it worth it to get into these universities as a international student sometimes it could be lil hard to manage their expances and I from India and I wanted to get into one of these universities in future
How is the entrance exam questions like?
To confirm, the three classes required will not be covered by Financial Aid and I have to take them on campus?
There are alternative options for student aid and you only need to take one on campus. Most courses offer online classes with an on campus weekend, which counts as your on campus course, so essentially you only have to fly into campus for one week.
thanks for sharing knowledge
I'm from the UAE and I'm in 8th grade going to 9th and harvard is my dream to get in to,wish i could live in it is like perfect and I'm studying in a american school, i hope in can get in.:) people don't chase you dreams RUN AFTER THEM:) great video.
This may be a stupid question but is the 4.1 GPA unweighted? I ask this because at one of my friends school they give extra for A+s.
It's weighted. Because the majority of schools do not offer higher GPA for A+ grades, colleges neutralize this by allowing a weighted GPA that includes AP and honors classes.
Yeah, what Tom said.
Is it easy to get into a master's or a PhD program in a different school after getting a bachelor from HES ?
My interest is in political science, if anyone sees the comment please reply so we can chat 😢
Thank you for the video!
I have a question in Harvard you have the option of get rooms because I heard some university’s give you rooms for you.
Is Harvard extension school part of NCAA D1
Actually which courses are mandatory to be taken on campus the one of the first 3 courses or some of the courses after getting admitted into the HES
Love it! ❤❤❤
I get that grades don't matter much here, but if I do get good grades and stellar SAT scores, will that affect my chances?
I have a little question I am from other side of the world small country in Europe Lithuania. If I want to get into Harvar, How on earth cani do it??
