Is Harvard University and Harvard College the same thing?

I got a letter from a “Harvard College” today and I saw it is located in Cambridge, MA and also has the same logo as Harvard University.

Thing is, I’m not not that smart. I do aight in high school, maybe 3.7 gpa and 2100 sat, but nothing good enough for harvard. All the other college letters I get are from crap-schools. I’m about to throw this thing away, It’s probably just another scam.

Harvard College is what you know as “Harvard”. It is THE Harvard.

3.7 with a 2100 isn’t out of the question for a Harvard admission. Go for it! All they can say is yes or no — and if they say yes — well that’s way awesome. If they say no, you can be one of the few people you know who had the b***s to actually apply and find out.

There’s an old saying that goes “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. Venture forth and find out. Admissions isn’t all about GPA and SAT — you may be exactly what they are looking for in a new student.

Harvard College is the undergraduate section of Harvard University. To read more just go to the wikipedia page about it haha. That’s what I did. Good luck in college!

Not a scam. You might be able to get into Harvard. My sister did with a 2100 SAT. Of course she also was an all-state singer and an all-state soccer player. She had a 103.something GPA with a 1.1 weight on advanced classes. If your taking APs and stuff and doing good on them you might get in. ( my sis got like 3s 4s and a 5 in calculus) (Oh she was part of a minority too)
