After applications are reviewed and candidates selected, Peer Advising Fellows will be assigned to first-year dormitories, or, in the case of smaller residences, to groups of small dormitories. Each adviser will then be matched with individual freshmen who share their interests—academic, extracurricular, and social—within the dormitory. Together they will form a group of some 8-10 advisees, who will meet both together and individually throughout the year to navigate the Harvard’s challenges...

Beck said that her office tries to “encourage students to look past the rankings.” She recommended that potential applicants base their college choices on their own academic and extracurricular background.
