Which countries are targeted?
- ALL
- There are no quotas or limits of any kind at any point in the admissions process.

A student’s chances for admission and financial aid are not affected by citizenship or by the location of the school that the student attends.
Am I Eligible to Apply?

- We seek promising students who will contribute to the Harvard community during their college years, and to society throughout their lives.

I am currently a polytechnic student pursuing higher national diploma in medical laboratory technology in Ghana. Please sir/madam, i am a Ghanaian and also a final year student completing in 3-months time from now. I have a current GPA of 3.5 out of 4 and still working hard. Please, Havard has and will always be my first choice to study medicine and become a good medical doctor from. When it comes to health matters, my passion for it always rises. Please, in the name of God, do not let this pass by.
My biggest dream of becoming a medical doctor is to assist those in rural areas who do not get access to good medical treatment and to help lift the flag of HARVARD flying high and above all. Thank you and you are blessed.
