There is arguably no name more closely associated with educational excellence than Harvard University.  Founded in 1636, Harvard isn't just America's oldest college, it is also one of its most demanding.  Because so many students dedicate their academic careers to becoming desirable applicants, the competition is every bit as fierce as you might imagine.  The 2007 acceptance rate was less than 10% and with the number of applicants growing by the year it's not unreasonable to expect even smaller numbers in the future.  Those serious about attending America's top college should give serious consideration to completing the optional essay mentioned in the Harvard Supplement.

Although the essay is not an official requirement, it has become a standard addition to the conventional application due to the competitive nature of Harvard admissions and the important role writing can play in candidate evaluation.  Think of the Harvard Supplement Essay as your only real opportunity to create a sales document on your own terms.  There's no required topic (although there are a few suggestions) and no set length.  And although you want to avoid an essay that seems unduly self-serving, this "second personal statement" allows prospective students to showcase attributes and characteristics that might otherwise be difficult to articulate in the Common App or Harvard Supplement.

Flashpoint enables students to work individually with a top writer or editor to conceptualize, draft, and revise a perfect response to Harvard's supplemental essay prompt.  Regardless of whether you're in need of a minor polish or you can't quite figure out where to start, we offer a package designed to meet your needs and help you gain admission to Harvard and other top universities.  We believe that we offer the best writing and editing services you will find anywhere.  In fact, we're so sure of it that we stand behind all of our work with a total satisfaction guarantee.  Your writer or editor will guide you step by step through the writing process and provide as many revisions as you feel are necessary.  We won't stop working until you tell us your statement is perfect.  At Flashpoint, we know the difference that self-expression can make and we pride ourselves in helping to create personal statements that change the way you are seen by admissions committees.
