...Initiative (HFAI), which would completely eliminate parental contributions from families earning less than $40,000 annually and reduce contributions from families making between $40,000 and $60,000 annually. In addition, HFAI also intensified the recruitment of low-income students, established the Crimson Summer Academy (an intensive college-prep program for financially disadvantaged students from Boston), and launched an effort to gather information about students’ socioeconomic backgrounds using ZIP codes. In total, the initiative would increase the University’s financial aid budget by $2 million annually.HFAI made Harvard the first school to completely eliminate parental contributions...
...Menamparampil: The priest, Fr. V.M. Thomas, suffered several months with the stone, and had taken medications to no avail.

Applying to a single school costs at least $200, since the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) charges a $160 processing fee for the first application (and $30 dollars for each subsequent application), while most colleges’ secondary applications require additional processing fees of $50 to $100 dollars each...
...hour and a half, had a strange effect on me. It made me appreciate the sports environment at Harvard.Crimson sports don’t garner the same fanfare or attention as larger, non-Ivy League programs. We don’t attract the nation’s top prep school stars to play in Lavietes Pavilion and Harvard Stadium. A big reason for this is that the Ivy League has outlawed athletic scholarships, which leads to major prospects diverting their attention to other schools. But although this means that Harvard students can’t enjoy...
