Countdown to Decision Day... 3, 2, 1...

<p>Harvard has no Early whatsoever.</p>

<p>does anyone from last year know how soon the financial aid packages come?</p>

<p>I like that they don’t have early decision/action.</p>

<p>^ Out of the interest of starting an interesting discussion, why? :stuck_out_tongue: Personally I sort of wish they still had their early program, but then again, my demographic definitely benefits from it so I’m probably biased…</p>

<p>I bet having EA/ED wouldn’t change much for Harvard…everyone applying to Harvard RD would probably be the same people applying EA/ED if one existed.</p>

<p>^ some people would say the same for Yale. and its true. People are just not ready to apply to Yale because they don’t have all the recommendations done by November1 which is why they cant apply EA. Or else, everybody would apply to Yale EA. I am an RD that would apply to EA if I could use all the materials I had now and turned them in.</p>

<p>24 days 1 hour 18 minutes remaining</p>

<p>how many of you guys applied to all 3 HYP?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Financial aid packages are released very soon after the decisions. I believe that they may reach students only about two days after acceptance.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I have; it is quite common to apply to all three.</p>

<p>^^But Yale EA is SCEA. That probably stops quite a few applicants. I had all of my materials ready by Nov 1, except the short takes, which obvi, I would have and could easily have had done by then if I were applying EA, but I wasn’t going to apply to just one very selective school when I could apply to three. Not when SCEA doesn’t offer the advantages of ED.</p>

<p>I just applied to HY. I had every intention of applying to P. I thought about the essay for months. But I decided I was pretty certain about my prospective major, and they didn’t have it. Also, I found the essay impossible. I was doing the quote option and chose “a soap bubble is as real as a fossil tooth” from Nabokov’s Pnin. I could have switched to a different quote, but I felt strongly about that one. One of my friends applied though, but I’m sort of hoping she (gets into and) chooses MIT, and then that I chose MIT too and then we go there and it’s wonderful. But maybe I shouldn’t say that on the Harvard subforum. So…</p>

<p>Crimson forever! I <3 Harvard</p>

<p>I <3 Harvard if it accepts me</p>

<p>Applied to all three. I suppose I did a quasi-EA to Yale and Princeton, having applied through QuestBridge initially.</p>

<p>I did HYP, Stanford and MIT. But I only applied to Yale, Stanford, and MIT because Id already spent the money to send my scores and all that jazz. Otherwise really, it’d just be Harvard and Princeton.</p>

<p>Harvard’s early program used to be Early Action, and I believe that it was single choice (I could be wrong though. Someone correct me if I am).</p>

<p>I didn’t apply to Princeton because of 1) the suburban, rather sheltered location and 2) the bent towards math/science, which isn’t really the major I’m going for. Yes to Harvard and Yale though.</p>

<p>@ Harvardlite: lol, I think you have to love it anyway, cause it’s in your username :P</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You’re correct.</p>

<p>After thoroughly ■■■■■■■■ these forums, I am most nervous at my prospects of admission. It’s good to have some company along the journey though! Good luck to you all!</p>

<p>21 days 21 hours 59 minutes.</p>

<p>I said this at the yale forum, and im saying it here. I wonder what happens after you get admitted…. like whats left to do and whats more to do</p>

<p>I will not get excited about decision day because godanggity it’s harvard and no one gets in!!! X_X</p>

<p>I’m hoping that my likely letter at Dartmouth is a good sign for Harvard in the upcoming weeks!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You scream. You jump up and down. You live in a daze of euphoria for a few weeks. Your parents are blissfully happy and grant you whatever you want.</p>

<p>Then you realize that it’s just college and you’re excited to go there, but it’s still not the end of the world either way.</p>

<p>^^haha, so am I.</p>

<p>^In my experience getting into your first choice, or one of them, does not lead to weeks of euphoria, and certainly not to one’s parents, even if the are in general permissive, becoming more so. You get in, it’s wonderful. Whenever you think about it again, it’s wonderful, but when you’re not thinking on the event, it’s just a part of your life.</p>

<p>I think I’ve decided that I get waitlisted at H, it’s over. I’m not messing with that.</p>

<p>i once heard that the day you’re accepted is the best day of your life. Everything that happens afterwards just goes downhill because of pure stress and sleepless nights of cramming for tests.</p>
