Interesting, But Not Enough

This book is filled with very remarkable biographies of fifty successful applicants and what they thought got them into Harvard. However, there is nothing brilliantly original about their strategies; the students followed standard procedures such as good essay writing skills, extracurricular activites, the norm. "How They Got Into Harvard" makes for a good read, but there is no real emotion in it.

Creating Perspective

This book is very helpful in applying to Harvard. It helps to dispell the myths that all Harvard students are inhumanly brilliant and shows the variety of students that Harvard admits. I would suggest that any student considering applying to Harvard or similar institutions should read this book, or at least take it out from the local library and browse through a few of the profiles.
