@gibby I had never thought of it that way. It makes a lot of sense. Thank you! :slight_smile:

242

best case scenario there are more calls to be made tomorrow. Next case, near the end of may, and then June. And worst case, all the calls were made today. I don’t think that is the case though.

243

The article specified that first round waitlist decisions were made, so depending on who says yes and no to this round there should definitely be more calls in the future

244

thank you so much! trying not to get my hopes up

245

@slothqueen BEST OF LUCK!! :slight_smile:

246

THANK YOU!

247

My other theory (although super unlikely) is that if it’s the regional admissions officers who make the call to students, then maybe since they finished make decisions on the waitlist so late they were given the option to either call their region tonight or just wait to call tomorrow morning. Although again, this is super unlikely and I think I’m just coming up with ways that I could possibly get a call tomorrow lol

248

@smythe Along with us all.

249

Anybody get in from the south?

250

Excited to get that rejection email tomorrow :slight_smile:

251

JUST GOT ANOTHER PHONE CALL, I GOT IN!!!

252

congrats @slothqueen !!! If you don’t mind me asking, did your portal update or anything else indicating admittance?

253

I think admissions calls and waitlist releases will be going out in waves
 hoping that by the end of this week we get some closure

254

no portal update, but i got an email

255

Slothqueen, I guess you’re a cali girl. Do you mind telling us your race (/legacy?) and/or some stats?

256

Should we be sending in our latest grades to Harvard, or are out grades (as long as they’re not slipping) irrelevant?

257

i am asian/no legacy/stats are not extraordinary

258

I got my waitlist call today as well. thanks @gibby and everyone else on this forum for giving such good advice about what to expect!

259

Hey @gibby - Just tried to find the info on the website, but didn’t see it. Last year when D was on list, we just googled Harvard admissions and the region we lived in and were directed to the right person, but cannot seem to find it tonight. Sorry :frowning:

@Gibby - San Diego = XX and s/he is lovely

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Edited out name. If Harvard wanted the world to have access to it, they would post it. Additionally, there is no guarantee that an AO that had a region LY will have the same region TY.
