Just curious... If I wanted to say... I seek admission into Harvard University, is that right? Should I say... I seek admission to Harvard University?

'admission to' would be more appropriate for what you're trying to say. 'admission into Harvard' suggests you're seeking to physically enter the Harvard campus.
