<p>I just tried to post a message, and it showed up then disappeared. If the system had a hiccup and this is a repeat, I’m sorry.</p>
<p>But I was wondering if anyone had hard info on when the e-mails will be sent. Last year it was, I believe, the 11th at 5. Do we have any confirmation on this year’s? I’ve seen people here and there suspect it would be this Thursday or Friday at 5, but I wasn’t sure. Have any of you seen/heard anything relevant?</p>
<p>I'm guessing Friday at 5. That's the time when many Ivies are releasing it (UPenn, Brown, Cornell). Dartmouth is going for the 9th at 3. Yale and Princeton are coming pretty late, from what I've heard, so maybe Harvard will follow them.</p>
<p>Tuesday, December 14 at 5 PM, but as late as 9 PM.</p>
<p>next wednesday :)</p>
<p>Decembe 14th; see below</p>
<p>yes, but you see... i called as well and was told it would be sent out next wednesday. also: don't you think you would be oh so much more relaxed if you were expecting the decision on the 15th... and say, got it a day earlier? that would be a pleasant surprise :)</p>
<p>No. I would be much more relaxed if they told it to my right now.</p>
<p>Agreed.</p>
<p>Just send the darn email already!!!</p>
<p>can ppl call to find out their decision on friday morning?</p>
<p>maybe someone can volunteer to be the brave soul to call friday morning and tell us how it goes</p>
<p>I really don't want this email. The longer I wait, the better. Maybe I will forget about Harvard and then it won't matter if I get rejected...sorry for the pessimism.</p>
<p>Who knows? Why are they e-mailing it so late anyway?</p>
<p>it's not THAT late, just a few days after the other schools lol. come on people, don't be so down. think of it this way: the more time it takes for them to send the decisions, the more time there is for hope to exist in us. whatever is meant to be will be and the amount of time is simply a variable that will not alter the final decison. so, be happy, there's still hope at this point :)</p>
<p>ppl...im TELLING u, its gonna be this friday...just have faith, they'll come through</p>
<p>Yes slicmlic2001, you are absolutely right</p>
<p>they WILL send emails on friday
its the same thing as college board saying sat's are posted on a friday when we all know the score is posted on the thursday at 3 in the afternoon, them saying its the 14th is just in case that have a real emergency and can't get the emails in on time, they're leaving themselves room for error. However, in a normal case, I really believe they will send it friday.</p>
<p>It does matter for me because if i get in I will withdraw all other applications (actually I haven't sent them yet, lol)</p>
<p>Why doesn't Harvard say Monday as the emergency date then? It doesn't seem natural to say that the decisions will be sent out on the 14th if they are planning to send them out on the 10th. The collegeboard only estimates one extra day.</p>
<p>In any case,</p>
<p>if it is the 10th, we have 3 days left</p>
<p>if it is the 13th, we have 6 days left</p>
<p>if it is the 14th, we have 7 days left</p>
<p>if it is the 15th, we have 8 days left</p>
<p>I think that the only way we can establish whether it will be the second Friday of the month, and the admissions office are simply buying time if anything should go wrong, or whether it actually will be 5pm on 12/14 is by figuring out whether every year the official line is that decisions will be mailed out on 15th and they end up arriving sooner (like the SATs and collegeboard)</p>
<p>Can someone do this?</p>
<p>This is from 1999. It was the exact same calender year. 1st Dec 1999 was on Wed/1st Dec 2004 was on Wed.</p>
<p>"Letters were mailed Dec. 15."</p>
<p>BUT!!!</p>
<p>Also consider that ~6000 applicants applied in 1999, as compared to ~4000 in 2004.</p>
<p>Hope that helps. :)</p>
