I am a local Chairperson this year for the Harvard
interview process and again co-Chair for the Harvard
Outreach Scholarship Committee in Alameda County.
As part of the Outreach program we (1) have a team of
local Harvard grads who will come to your school and
talk to the kids or designated educators about the
process and about the College and how you get there.
We are particularly interested in gifted kids from
disadvantaged backgrounds. We want to help them get
access to the best schools; be it Harvard or somewhere
else. Last month we visited H. J. Kaiser Elementary
School in Oakland and talked to 10-11 year children in
the GATE program there. (2) As I asked last year, I
need to know about all gifted but challenged financial
situation applicants that are in the area. Have their
parents contact me directly if they are applying to
Harvard for early admission or otherwise.
http://harvard.edu is the source you have to follow to
apply to Harvard; adhere to the rules you'll find on
the web site. My Committee works directly with the
Admissions Office and is designed to help kids and
families in the aforementioned category as an addition
to that process.
The Outreach Committee has a discussion list for
Alameda County parents, students and educators; please
subscribe if you are interested:

P.S. Thank you for the students Albany parents made me
aware of last year. Several got in.
