Freshman Brit at Harvard - AMA

I’ll try to reply as quickly as possible on here as I don’t use this much anymore, but I’m from the UK and I currently study at Harvard and I am in my first year. I’m happy to help with any questions you have about applying to the US as an international or even UCAS related stuff (I declined an Econ King’s College offer from Cambridge), as well as happy to help with SAT prep/common app essays!

Harvard was cheaper (due to very nice financial aid) and I just wanted to try out a new country cause it sounded cool ahaha

A) How do you find the atmosphere at Harvard? Is it very frat-based or more relaxed?

B) How did you end up sitting the SAT/ACT tests?

C) What aspect of your application did you think was strongest?
