Is Harvard University and Harvard College the same thing?
I got a letter from a "Harvard College" today and I saw it is located in Cambridge, MA and also has the same logo as Harvard University. Thing is, I'm not not that smart. I do aight in high school, maybe 3.7 gpa and 2100 sat, but nothing good enough for harvard. All the other college letters I get are from crap-schools. I'm about to throw this thing away, It's probably just another scam.

Harvard College is what you know as "Harvard". It is THE Harvard. 3.7 with a 2100 isn't out of the question for a Harvard admission. Go for it! All they can say is yes or no -- and if they say yes -- well that's way awesome. If they say no, you can be one of the few people you know who had the b***s to actually apply and find out. There's an old saying that goes "nothing ventured, nothing gained". Venture forth and find out. Admissions isn't all about GPA and SAT -- you may be exactly what they are looking for in a new student.
