<p>Hi - just wondering if anyone else was invited to an "alumni applicant reception"? Is this a good sign or a cruel joke....????</p>
<p>Well, do you know a Harvard Alumni ? If you don't maybe it is a cruel joke...</p>
<p>um.... i went to a Harvard club party in Miami a couple months ago, for applicants, students and alums - is that the sort of thing you're talking about?</p>
<p>May not mean anything at all depending on the letter. If its something sent to you by the alumni of the university with no relation to the Admissions Office. Brown sent me a few letters from their alumni about receptions and alumni music group concerts in the area, but at least in my case it was completely separate from admissions. Its kinda just something to get you to know the school better and to meet people and talk to people.</p>
