<p>"Jonas had skipped Harvard on her tour of east coast schools in the spring, thinking it would be too hard to get into. But after Harvard coaches told Jonas more about the program by email and phone, and after she submitted updated test scores, she started to get excited about it.</p>

<p>Jonas then flew out to Harvard on an official visit paid for by the school in September, and her heart was set.</p>

<p>“When I was coming home on the plane, that’s when I decided I was done; I didn’t want to visit any other schools,” Jonas said. “At Harvard people were just so down to earth and humble, more than you’d expect.”</p>

<p>The next day, she got an important phone call from Assistant Coach Cory Bosworth, and it was soon official.</p>

<p>“The coach called me the next day, and she started out by saying, ‘What did you think?’” Jonas said. “And I was like, ‘I absolutely loved it,’ and she was like, ‘That’s great because we actually loved having you.’”</p>
