Harvard doesn’t care where else people applied. Harvard doesn’t care about demonstrated interest.

What Harvard does care about is getting information that helps them create a well rounded class. Consequently, if a student has an essay that would make them stand out in the admission pool, they should submit that essay even if it clearly was written for another college.

Harvard admissions officers aren’t dumb. They know that their applicants have the good sense to apply to other excellent colleges. That doesn’t count against the applicants.
