Motswana enrols at prestigious Harvard College

Mmopi, who graduated from Armand Hammer United World College - USA, is the child of Mpho Mmopi and Mpho Banyana Mmopi of Gaborone, Botswana. Mmopi joins approximately 1,675 students in Harvard's freshman class. The class was chosen from nearly 23,000 applicants. "Members of the class of 20 II were selected for a broad array of academic and extracurricular accomplishments. Most of all, they combine their talents with extraordinary personal strength, and '1ike' their predecessors they will benefit enormously by learning from one another in our residential freshman and House system during their college years," says William R. Fitzsimmons, Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid for Harvard College.

Harvard's admission process is need-blind, in conjunction with a need-based financial aid policy. Nearly two-thirds of the class will receive financial aid, with an average total aid package of more than $36,000 per year.
