Harvard 2020 Waitlist Discussion

Called Wednesday? Should update by tomorrow. If you got the call, however, you are good - you’ve already survived the gauntlet, so don’t sweat the portal update, its coming.

Congratulations to all of you that got in!!! Soooo great!!! Which schools did you (or your kids) commit to that you will now be backing out of?

Cornell.

So I’m GUESSING that’s it’s too late to send a letter of interest… right? Lol. I sent one in after my deferral and thought that would just carry over after my waitlist, but now I’m not so sure…

@rabblerowser It probably would have been best to do it earlier, but if you send it now I don’t see how it would hurt your chances.

@MamaBear555 UChicago

Yes! I have been rejected! I am so happy that this is over and now I am officially rejected from Harvard! I cannot wait to change the world and show to Harvard how great I will be!

In all seriousness, I knew this was coming. It was only a matter of time. Now I can completely focus on Northeastern University!

I heard there was going to be another wave of rejections today at 5:00. Has anyone received an update to his/her portal?

@Iannella yes, I just did at 5:27 PM in the East Coast.

I wish they would give us a little update on what’s going on. I haven’t heard anything (accepted or rejected) and I just want a little clarity in this whole process!!!

Was it an email to tell you your portal was update or only portal post

Unfortunately, there won’t be clarity coming from the Admissions office. If you haven’t heard anything, you should assume you made the next cut and are still on the waitlist.

@premstudent did you find out in an email, or did you just have to go to the portal and check for yourself?

Who is still alive in the Harvard Waitlist 2020 process and stats?

For those of you that have been rejected: how are you finding out? Are they sending an email? Is a new update reflected in the initial portal that we applied in (the one that informed us of our status on Mar. 31st)? It’s been 3 waves iirc, and I have yet to be rejected, but I also don’t know if I’m looking at the right places, haha.

Anyone from Long Island hear back yet? My friend mentioned hearing that Harvard over-enrolled from LI this year, and probably wouldn’t be taking anyone off the waitlist. Not sure how true that is.

Any word on when the next round will be? I still haven’t heard as of May 31st so should I assume I’ve made it to the nex round?

^^ Yes!

which number they will be calling? is this number provided by applicant in Common App?

@senior4031 This was an email. I was on my computer and got a email notifiication to check the portal.

Anyone know when the next round of decisions are going to come out?
