Harvard’s last Affirmative Action program is for the rich
Three years after affirmative action’s end, Harvard still favors applicants by ancestry.
AI Summary
Harvard runs a little‑known admissions track that bypasses the standard application process, offering a small cohort of applicants admission without any mention on the university’s website or a checkbox on the Common Application. Those selected are admitted on the condition that they defer enrollment for a year, joining the incoming class only after that delay. The program operates quietly, with applicants typically unaware of its existence until they receive the offer.
