<p>@colleggehopeful I still haven’t received the email either, not sure if this is good or bad</p>
<p>Most of the people who didn’t receive it last year were on the extended wait list, so it may be good news. Have you been contacted by your regional admissions officer @bballerina13?</p>
<p>How many of you who heard today are legacies?</p>
<p>I could have made their swim team and I had the ROTC department pulling for me because I had a 4 year Army ROTC scholarship to attend. Perfect 4.0 unweighted.Top one percent in my class. NHS. President of math national honor society. College engineering classes. Student government. Eagle scout. I thought amazing essays and I had recommendations that blew me away. Should have applied early but didn’t have my Eagle Scout so I was afraid my app would be too weak. Even with all that, I still got the same rejection letter. Highest yield and an essentially full, if not overflowed class is just too hard to overcome.</p>
<p>Go Blue Devils.</p>
<p>Rejected. @pcowww I’m going to Duke too!</p>
<p>@colleggehopeful Unfortunately I have not 
Should I have been? I’m not expecting much at this point.</p>
<p>@pcowww Congratulations on your acceptance to Duke, I’ve committed there also :)</p>
<p>Haha this is a coincidence! I just got the waitlist rejection, but happily going to Duke!</p>
<p>@Accept3d @bballerina13 @feminist can’t say I’m overly disappointed. I don’t know what I would have done without good sports teams to cheer for. And I had Chickfila after school today. What would I have done without that and sweet tea if I went up north?!</p>
<p>Edit: Sorry for the rant, it seems silly now that I’ve written it out sigh…</p>
<p>I hate that this is going to sound pathetic and melodramatic but how are you guys happy that you’re off the waitlist? Actually I do understand your reasoning, that waiting is stressful & draining and now you can full-heartedly move on, I really do get that. But I would still take waiting over rejection any day – because any hope is better than this crushing feeling. Perhaps that’s cowardly, I don’t know.</p>
<p>I’ve wanted this so so incredibly much (as have many of you), and I think I’ve put way too much energy and happiness into the minuscule, literally infinitesimal chance that deferral and the waitlist operates on. These past 6 months have felt like a lifetime of hoping with every single waking thought and now… there’s nothing. It’s really over.</p>
<p>I have been z-listed!!! 
I could not believe it when I opened the email as I hadn’t got a phone call and my access code stopped working.
I am so excited though I have no idea what to do… I’m sorry to you guys who didn’t get good news!</p>
<p>@jellyksong It is no doubt hard when things don’t go as planned. I’m in no place to say much right now, but you have to trust that everything will eventually work out. You can only connect the dots looking backwards… I feel for ya, man, I really do. But now you should focus on the end of your senior year and celebrate! Yes, any hope is better than rejection, but this is just one roadblock (you’ll get over) at the beginning of a long road ahead.</p>
<p>Time heals wounds… <em>pats you on the back</em> I wish I could make you feel better.</p>
<p>I think someone was asking- I’m a legacy and I was rejected. Oh well.</p>
<p>I am legacy by the way.</p>
<p>@olibonn Do you mind me asking your age? I am wondering if Harvard tends to z-list younger students.</p>
<p>Just to add to the info I am a year younger (skipped a grade) and a legacy and wasnt Z listed</p>
<p>@classof20178, did you make it onto the next waitlist?</p>
<p>@colleggehopeful - Yeah, you haven’t got a rejection either, right?</p>
<p>Which one of you guys who got accepted off the waitlist <em>or</em> didn’t get an email is currently matriculated at Princeton?</p>
<p>Olibonn what did your email say?</p>
<p>Just got rejected from the Waitlist. Even though Harvard’s been my dream for years, I can’t say I’m actually disappointed. I just won 1st Place at the Intel ISEF and I will be attending Yale next year anyways and I will just move onward saying that it’s Harvard’s loss not to have me. Good luck to erryone :P</p>
