How Your Application is Considered
In our admissions process, we give careful, individual attention to each applicant. We seek to identify students who will be the best educators of one another and their professors—individuals who will inspire those around them during their College years and beyond.
As we read and discuss your application, many questions will be on our minds. Some things we consider:
哈佛大學(xué)如何審核你的入學(xué)申請(qǐng)：
在招生審核過程中，哈佛大學(xué)會(huì)認(rèn)真的單獨(dú)審核每一位申請(qǐng)者。哈佛大學(xué)試圖尋找的是可能成為其他人的最好教育者的人，以及在整個(gè)的學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)間及以后能夠影響啟發(fā)其身邊的人的學(xué)生。
在哈佛大學(xué)的招生老師閱讀和討論你的入學(xué)申請(qǐng)的時(shí)候，將會(huì)牢記很多的問題。通常會(huì)考慮到以下方面：

Do you have reserve power to do more?

Do you have initiative? Are you a self-starter? What motivates you?
Do you have a direction yet? What is it? If not, are you exploring many things?
Where will you be in one, five, or 25 years? Will you contribute something to those around you?
What sort of human being are you now? What sort of human being will you be in the future?

Our admissions process enables us to give deliberate and meticulous consideration of each applicant as a whole person. It is labor intensive, but permits extraordinary flexibility and the possibility of changing decisions virtually until the day the Admissions Committee mails them. This is especially important since we are always receiving new information about applicants.
Of course, no process is perfect. Inevitably, some students who are not admitted will see great success, and even with a 97 to 98 percent graduation rate, some admitted students might have been better served at another institution. However, we do everything possible to make the best admissions decisions for each student.
哈佛大學(xué)的招生過程能夠讓招生老師把每一位申請(qǐng)者當(dāng)成一個(gè)完整的個(gè)體做出謹(jǐn)慎小心的審核。這是一個(gè)勞動(dòng)密集型過程，但是在招生委員會(huì)做出最后通知之前，允許靈活性存在和改變決定的可能。這一點(diǎn)是尤其重要的，因?yàn)檎猩蠋煶３?huì)收到有關(guān)申請(qǐng)者的新信息。
當(dāng)然，沒有任何過程是完美的。不可避免地，一些沒有獲得哈佛大學(xué)錄取資格的學(xué)生也會(huì)做出巨大的成就。并且即使哈佛大學(xué)有97%-98%的畢業(yè)率，一些被錄取的學(xué)生可能在其他的學(xué)校會(huì)取得更好的成績(jī)。但是，哈佛大學(xué)盡可能的對(duì)每一位學(xué)生做出最好的錄取決定。
