<p>Applying because the Asian-pacific Society sent me an email telling me to :P</p>
<p>Still working on this common app essay. I think the Harvard supp will be pretty easy though.</p>
<p>Well my son’s app is not remotely done!</p>
<p>I submitted my Common App yesterday, still have to do the supplement though</p>
<p>Harvard’s supplement has got to be the easiest by far. Just an optional second essay which you could take from a previous supplement. I’m wondering if Harvard gives early notification of admission? I heard some people find out earlier before the regular applicants despite the omission of EA.</p>
<p>nah I don’t think such is the case</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Only in the event of “likely letters,” which are predominantly limited to recruited athletes.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I’m so confused. I definitely want to attend Harvard, but the chance of my acceptance is so abysmally low that I don’t know if I should add another figure to Harvard’s pool of applicants. I don’t know what to do :(</p>
<p>Well I certainly don’t have the stats that can compete with the ones I see in the Harvard RD thread. Should I apply? Your opinion is welcome.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would recommend that you apply. You certainly don’t want to lament never having done so.</p>
<p>What if I’m a legacy and there is no place on the Harvard supplement to write it?</p>
<p>Common app asks you form schools your parents attended. So they will see you are a legacy.</p>
<p>Anyone else nervous for the interview?</p>
<p>Yes, the interviewers accept bribes right?</p>
<p>^hahaaha10char</p>
<p>Lol @ Technite. 
In all honesty, though, I’m not that worried for the interview. I plan on just having a friendly, honest, up-front conversation with my interviewer.</p>
<p>Will the interviews be scheduled by the school when we turn in our apps (by December) or can we schedule the interviews before submitting the app? I know for all the other IVYs they will notify the applicant of an interview once the materials have been submitted, but I’m not sure about Harvard’s process.</p>
<p>^ You will be contacted by your interviewer after you’ve submitted your app.</p>
<p>Anyone thinking of not doing the optional essay?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not happy with my Yale supplement essay; so unless I think of something compelling in the next couple months, I probably won’t send an optional essay.</p>
<p>@mifune: Thanks for your advice. The feeling of despair is hard to overcome, but I guess I must try.</p>
<p>I’m reusing my Yale supplement essay for Harvard’s optional one. </p>
<p>No interviews in my area! (At least not last year even though people got accepted). I don’t know whether to be disappointed or elated.</p>
