Harvard University sent a student representative to speak to Miami High students on January 9^th. Dozens of excited students poured into the library for the afterschool event. The speaker, who was born and raised in Miami, offered a breath of hope to students who came with common misconceptions about the school. Harvard, he revealed, is not a school reserved only for 4.0 students with perfect 1600 SAT scores. The university, first and foremost, wants well-rounded students. Applicants are much more attractive, he said, if they are active in their community, play an instrument, are involved at school, etc.
