<p>So how do they do it? Harvard will send an email to you right? Or do you have to login to their site?</p>
<p>my son received an e-mail last year and then he received the financial aid offer 2 days later in the mail. </p>
<p>best of luck!</p>
<p>They send an email, where you are given a link, and from there, you log in to find out your decision.</p>
<p>my son did not get any kind of link. The e-mail alone was the acceptance letter</p>
<p>Really? That has been the case at most schools I have applied to so far.</p>
<p>harvard sends an email with the subject “you application to harvard college” or something like that…and the admissions decision is in the e-mail…they basically email you the letter. it’s different than most schools. if you did not sign up to receive the e-mail, then you have to wait until you get the letter to see if you got in</p>
<p>I’ll be so nervous tomorrow when the e-mail comes in… it’ll take me forever to actually click on it</p>
<p>If i get rejected i will hurt myself!!!
I need to know now!!!
Bawww!!!</p>
<p>My first daughter sat at the computer, sent e-mail, and surfed the web for an hour knowing the e-mail was there before she could bring herself to click it.</p>
<p>^did she get in?</p>
<p>^ she did get in.</p>
<p>the problem with gmail is that you see the first part of the text even before you click on the email!</p>
<p>Don’t worry, it’s hidden pshan730</p>
<p>haha, i can see my decision already: “Dear sir, we are sorry that we can’t offer you a spot at Harvard University. We have read your application thoroughly and want to ask you ‘is this a joke?’ Harvard is way out of your league. In fact, if your league blew up, it would take Harvard 5 days to hear it.”</p>
<p>The rejection letter will simply read as this:</p>
<p>Rejected,</p>
<p>Love Harvard</p>
<p>Mine would be:</p>
<p>“We are pleased to inform you that we wasted very little time in reading your application and promptly discarded it in the burning crimson flame after reading your infamous name. Furthermore, we have included a list of junior colleges within this package and refunded your application fee in the hopes that you would use this money to take a statistics class and see that there was no way in hell we would accept a dimwit like yourself. In conclusion, please do not leave any blood on the carpet when killing yourself seeing as it would only add unnecessary work for a poor janitor more capable of succeeding than yourself. Best of luck on your future endeavors (if there are any)!”</p>
<p>i like how they said they use email because it’s “more secure”</p>
<p>Best of luck to everyone! I’m excited to see who will be part of the class of 2013.</p>
<p>It’s funny because in California 2pm is still school time. My son was in class when I saw the e-mail. I promised him that I wouldn’t open it, but it was the last one so it was right in front of me. I just scrolled down and saw “Congratulations”. I must admit I read the e-mail about 5 times before calling my husband upstairs to have him also read it. Then we texted our son and gave him the news. He was VERY excited!</p>
