<p>so they send out the decisions via email 5 pm eastern time on march 31, am I correct?</p>
<p>forestforever: I think so!</p>
<p>man. march 31st is going to be a crazy day :/</p>
<p>Did you read the thread where they're talking about how Harvard is accepting less students this year? What a downer!</p>
<p>oooh am so excited and nervous!!!
'judgement day' is gonna make me or break me</p>
<p>Come on guys. It isn't the end of the world if you don't get into Harvard...there are tons of other universities out there which would love to have you!</p>
<p>you know, tetrisfan...that's what i keep reminding myself.
It doesn't work too well though...lol</p>
<p>March 31st is the day after I get back from the beach for spring break.... but until then I just want to enjoy my time out on the sun and not worry about it!! :P</p>
<p>I'm becoming more and more nervous as the D-day approaches...this month is and will pass by very slowly...Every time my phone rings, I feel my heart beating so fast, most unreasonably thinking that it might be an admissions officer calling to inform me of my acceptance. I know it's stupid but I can't help it lol</p>
<p>so what does the email look like? does anyone know?</p>
<p>yeah, do they put "you're accepted" in the subject line if you get in? or maybe "your application decision"...that sounds more neutral</p>
<p>yea...that's my question too.</p>
<p>I think I read in last year's thread that they write "Your Harvard Admissions Decision" or something like that in the subject line of the e-mail, so you don't know until you open it.</p>
<p>Yes, that's right. Also be aware that not everyone gets their emails at exactly the same time---some come hours later, and its not always clear if it's alphabetical, or according to when they recieved your app, or whether it's a yes or no--depends on the university.</p>
<p>i heard some ppl say they put "Congratulations!" as the subject for accepted...but idk</p>
<p>I just wish they started emailing...</p>
<p>i think I can say that we are somewhat competitive. some of my desire to get into harvard is just to see if I can get in. increase self-esteem. or epic fail</p>
<p>It's a 100% neutral subject line. Anyone who tells you otherwise hasn't actually gotten one.</p>
<p>The subject line is: "Admissions Decision"</p>
<p>Great, that makes it even more exciting! Also, it makes it possible to pray and perform about 20 strange rituals that are supposed to bring luck before opening the e-mail.</p>
