Colleges in USA

Harvard University is the the oldest institute of higher education in the US. It was established in 1636. In short, Harvard is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research, and to developing leaders who make a difference in the world. Due to the world-renowned faculty, state-of-the-art resources, and individualized instruction, Harvard University is one of the best places to pursue higher studies. A few reasons to makes this one-of-a-kind university the best place for studies are:

• With extracurricular activities, Harvard has various clubs and organizations for students. Many of these are involved in their particular field such as Crimson with Journalism, the Institute of Politics with Government, and the Lampoon with comedy
• Harvard's library system is the the largest private library system in the world with 17 million volumes. So, students do not have to go anywhere else in order to find a particular book or paper
• Harvard is right outside Boston, so there are ample things in Boston as well as in the campus itself. In the context of weather, most of the time it is Fall weather. 

As it is widely known that to get into Harvard is quite selective at the time of admission. Even though academic achievement is one of the important factor that is considered during the admission process, there are some other factors that are considered for granting admission. As such there is no formula for gaining admission to Harvard. Apart from the academic accomplishment, the Admissions Committee considers the following factors too:

• Community involvement;
• Leadership;
• Distinction in extra-curricular activities;
• Personal qualities;
• Character of applicants;
• Teachers, counselors, alumni viewpoints for a student;
• Applicants’ ability to overcome adversity; and more.

Speaking of the selectivity of Harvard, according to Harvard Magazine, 1,937 of the 54,008 applicants to class were granted admission for the Class of 2028 admissions, which is equivalent to 3.6%.
