another homeless girl into Harvard, so what is your excuse?

[Nσσя'υℓ Jαииαн]

I really don't know..
as an aside a colleague of mine from undergrad who had a perfect GPA was rejected from med. school three years in a row, then eventually got in at SUNY at downstate.. sometimes it is a matter of persistence and not taking NO for an answer..

Liz Murray had no money and no home address, but managed to get in.. she had no one to advocate on her behalf nor a rich uncle, so my guess is a person has to want it badly enough?

Allahu Alam sis. It's possible she fought for it or she was just lucky. That or times have changed as Yanal said.

Harvard is actually giving free tuition/scholarships to those who come from low income families. They announced it over the weekend. So if you're just entering your senior year of high school and make less than $60,000.00 a year, you have the opportunity to enter and leave Harvard (inshaAllaah) debt-free. Contact the financial office.

Hehe I'm already out of high school sis. I'm transferrin soon inshallah either to Stonybrook or St. Johns, preferably St. Johns for Pharmacy. I'm just guessing they changed it now. Allahu Alam, thanks anyway

the most expensive school to attend in the U.S is G.W not Harvard!
I went there for one rotation.. it is very costly.

The schools that are expensive can be only attained by Allahs will and who he gave the wealth to. We should thank Allah for what he gave to us and that will be enough. Harvard only gives one scholarship per year. I contacted them by email and they told me some interesting facts regarding wealth.

^^Indeed by only the Will of Allah.

What did they say exactly?

 

[Yanal]

They told me I could take the following options:Loans from Havard that will be put on my student card,take financial aid,and some other things.

Yea but afterward you'd spend most of your time trying to pay it off. That would be rather annoying, for me at least. As for financial aid, they only give u so much.

I sound like I'm complaining now as sis Gossamer pointed out Lolll.
