Harvard 2020 Waitlist Discussion

None for me, but that’s to be expected. Anyone else?

Anyone get a deny email?

@Middleschoolmoom I don’t believe so. Did you?

My daughter was called by admissions yesterday around 4:30pm. She missed the call because she was playing tennis. She left a message and was called back around 7:45pm and was offered a spot off the waitlist. They follow up with a letter in the mail that provides details regarding how long you have to accept, regarding financial aid, etc. I have never seen her so happy!

My neighbor’s son (a legacy) was put on the Z-list four years ago and the date of the notification was June 2nd.

@Cybersurfer congratulations to your daughter, and thanks for the z list information!

@Cybersurfer Huge CONGRATULATIONS! So exciting just reading about it!

Has anyone heard of any offers made today?

I haven’t.

I called Harvard and the person I spoke to didn’t seem to know anything either.

What did they say @Hamotron

The process is not over. From the offers made yesterday, not everyone accepts - but they have to wait and see. Then, they go down the list to the next person that is ranked, and so on until all the spots are filled. It will likely take the entire month of May.

Has anybody been released from the waiting list yet? by portal or by email?

still on, guess no updates today either

@Sunny761 They said probably late May and definitely by July 1st, but the person literally said “This is just my best guess”. So I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Stats on the enrolled class said 52% M, 48% F. I would think they would use the waitlist to try to even that out as much as possible - seems like almost everyone here reporting an admit from the wait list is female?

@Cybersurfer : The list is not ranked according to their official letter. It depends on who they need to fill for the person who did not accept the offer.

@baltimoreguy Didn’t help me, but it seems likely.

Hi, I’m looking at past years’ waitlists, and it seems likely that the first release of rejections from the waitlist might be tomorrow. Has anyone called and can anyone confirm?

Hi guys…longtime lurker and first time poster. I got a call about two hours ago from my admissions rep informing me that I’d made it in! After a deferral and a waitlist, this was an exciting bit of news. I’ve fallen in love with the small LAC I’m enrolled in, so I have a tough choice on my hands (but turning down H will be very very hard)

So yes, WL calls are still being made! Don’t give up hope just yet. Cheers!
