Countdown to Harvard Decisions 2013

Colleges & Universities A-Z Harvard University
41

<p>1 hour?? I thought results were in the evening!!</p>

42

<p>It’s 3 days 9 hours right now. OREngineering, you must have your countdown set for 5 AM. :)</p>

43

<p>oh lolol woops xD
all nighters tend to screw you up like that heh</p>

44

<p>If they hadn’t received an email yet how did people log onto the admitted students page without an access code?</p>

45

<p>All applicants should have received an email with their access code after they submitted their application.</p>

<p>From Harvard website:
Once we receive your Common Application or Universal College Application, you will receive an email in 1-2 weeks providing you with your application access code.</p>

</p>

<p>I was scouring around the site trying to find an early way to get admissions decisions and I found that you request your code to be sent via [Harvard</a> College Admissions § Application Status Login](<a href=“http://collegeadmissions.fas.harvard.edu/admitted/login.cgi]Harvard”>http://collegeadmissions.fas.harvard.edu/admitted/login.cgi)</p>

47

<p>Did anybody here get an email from Harvard confirming that decisions would start being released on the 28th at 5pm? Or is this the date/time we’re going off of because all of the Ivies come out at the same time. </p>

<p>Just want to make sure I’m not missing an email! I did get the access code back in January after I had applied.</p>

48

<p>No email. The admitted students’ website states that email decisions will be sent ton Thursday March 28, 2013 at 5:00 pm.</p>

49

<p>So if you can’t log in, you were rejected?</p>

50

<p>You have to wait until Thursday after ~5:00 PM EST to log in even if you were admitted. If you can’t request an access code that might be a sign (or just a faulty email), but other than that I don’t think there’s any way we mortals can find out early :(</p>

51

<p>Thanks, skee! <em>^▁^</em></p>

52

<p>@Hadiram:
Yesterday, I get an email from Harvard confirming that admissions decisions will be released this Thursday, March 28.</p>

53

<p>No email here… :’(</p>

54

<p>@alexissss: I specifically did not receive an email regarding to admissions decisions. They just put the comment at the end of my email. So please don’t worry!
The admissions decisions will be released this Thursday, March 28.</p>

55

<p>By Ivy League Rules, all 8 colleges must notify applicants on the same date, which this year is March 28th. See: [Common</a> Ivy League Agreement](<a href=“Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions”>Apply to Dartmouth | Dartmouth Admissions)</p>

<ol>
<li>Common Notification Date
On a common date, usually in late March or early April, applicants to the Ivy institutions will be notified of admission decisions and financial aid awards, unless they have been notified earlier under Early Decision Plan or Early Action Plan procedures.</li>
</ol>

56

<p>Thanks @vladim!
Purely out of curiosity (haha) what were you corresponding about with Harvard?</p>

57

<p>Aw, guess I shouldn’t worry. Rejection is unavoidable. xD</p>

58

<p>Hey guys, I got in early and you seem curious about how the email process worked, let me see if I can help. We all had access codes which were sent to us when we first applied. Decisions started going out right at 5:00, but they were all deferrals. I couldn’t wait any more, so I tried logging in, and I was able to access the admitted students’ website. That’s how I found out that I got in. Of course, they may have changed whatever caused all the deferral emails go to out first. But if you really can’t wait, I’d try logging in to the admitted page right after 5:00. Although if you can’t log in, you still don’t know whether you were wait-listed or rejected. Good luck!</p>

59

<p>Might the slew of deferrals at the beginning have been because the majority of decisions were deferrals?</p>

60

<p>^ It’s entirely possible. For a good 30-45 minutes there were only deferrals, but you’re right, with a 60% deferral rate, we can’t conclude anything from that.</p>
