THE Philippines’s dipping performance in international rankings may create challenges for Filipino applicants to top universities in the United States, which unfortunately can perpetuate stereotypes about the quality of local education.
“Ultimately, while international rankings matter, Crimson Education believes Harvard’s diversity and inclusion efforts foster a more holistic evaluation that values diverse perspectives, and recognizes the unique qualities and achievements of students from different backgrounds which crucial for identifying truly exceptional candidates,” Sakiwat pointed out.
The Crimson official said Harvard’s diversity and inclusion efforts are a positive development for Filipinos. Although the university’s program will provide more opportunities for students in the Philippines, he said it does not guarantee increased Harvard acceptance rates for Filipino students, as admissions officers will still thoroughly review each student’s application.
The marketing professional explained that “Harvard values extracurricular activities like community service and leadership roles demonstrating a strong commitment to social impact. One example is partnering with communities or nongovernment organizations to develop flood-control projects or conduct quarterly clearing operations.”
