    Last video I asked you guys to send me questions you had about Harvard, and you TURNED UP!!!
    I got somewhere near 200 questions, so here are some of my favorites, along with my responses to them.
    For those of you that don't know, I'm a junior (class of 2016) at Harvard College.
    *Fun fact: at Harvard we use the word "concentration" instead of "major". My concentration is Economics :)

    I like the honesty. You seem to be the person in between the most humble of students and the most stuck-up students. This isn't a bad thing. In fact, I find it commendable since it is Harvard and the name draws a ton of snotty-ness to each student (even if just a little bit).

I was wondering if by the time i graduate i would be able to have a GPA high enough to maybe attend Harvard.

    I have a question, when students pay their tuition is it for the whole semester or for the whole years

    Hello, would you have any advice to give to a teenager from the South Side of Phoenix who got accepted to the SSP Harvard 2015 ? The quality of my education has been the worst, and I fear it will catch up to me once I get there. I would like to thank you for your videos, they have made me see Harvard as a thing not so far off my reach.

    I have a question...What genre of music do you like to listen to? Hearing the ending Dubstep beats, could that be one of them.
