Note for Harvard College Undergraduates

Since it is better for a student’s mathematical development to learn mathematics at different institutions so as to be exposed to a broader range of mathematical perspectives, ordinarily applications for the mathematics PhD program from Harvard College undergraduates are not considered. If exceptional circumstances warrant an application from a Harvard undergraduate, an advisor or mentor of that student should seek approval from the Director of Graduate Studies before the student submits an application.
