| Selection and application | Selection: Harvard evaluates essays, transcripts/current grades, counselor report, GPA, maturity, readiness, and program fit holistically; it publishes no minimum GPA and does not require standardized academic tests. Application totals, admit rate, option/course capacities, waitlist odds, and scholarship odds are not published. Application materials: Program application with essays | Selection: Direct paid enrolment is first-come, first-served while space remains, rather than holistically admission-selective. Courses can fill and use waitlists. Separate scholarships and bursaries are competitive or criteria-based and do not guarantee program inventory. | Selection: Varies from registration-based/rolling to competitive review. Examples use capacity limits, transcript review, academic preparation, recommendations, and first-come acceptance; no umbrella admit rate exists. Application materials: Zero, one, or two teacher/professional recommendations depending on institute; Portfolio or course-prerequisite evidence only when specified |
