To many of our international applicants,

We understand the COVID-19 virus has deeply influenced your last month. At Haverford, we have been following the news closely, and have been in touch with school-based counselors in areas affected by this virus to better understand the scope of impact. We recognize that many schools have shifted to online learning and as a result, many or all school activities and events have been cancelled.

Haverford practices holistic admission. One benefit of this process is the opportunity to review applications with context in mind. Please be assured that the COVID-19 virus and its effects on your school experience will play no role in your admission decision. Your health and safety is our utmost concern, and we will continue to be flexible with the receipt of mid year transcript and final grades as we know some counselors are unable to access student records and school years may be extended.

“Holding you in the Light” is a common Quaker sentiment shared during challenging times. We want you to know we are holding you and your families in the Light. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to admission [at] haverford.edu if you have any questions.
