Questions for Harvard Dean
William R. Fitzsimmons, the dean of admissions and financial aid at Harvard College for more than two decades, answers reader questions.
As the nation’s high school seniors return to their classrooms, a stack of college applications already gathering on their desks, The Choice has invited William R. Fitzsimmons, the dean of admissions and financial aid at Harvard since 1986, to answer select reader questions.
Readers may submit questions to Mr. Fitzsimmons now — whether about the undergraduate admissions process generally, or at Harvard in particular — by using the comment box at the end of this post. Mr. Fitzsimmons’ first answers are scheduled to appear Thursday, and continue through Sept. 15.
Mr. Fitzsimmons is among the longest-serving and most influential college admissions officers in the nation. He has worked in the Harvard admissions office since 1972, and served as the director of admissions at Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges from 1975 to 1984. He holds bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees from Harvard, and received a full, need-based scholarship as an undergraduate (supplemented only by income from part-time jobs.) He is a former trustee of the College Board.
