Here’s to hoping that at least one person who has been a constant on this thread hears some good news soon!!! Share with us when you do 
Good luck to everyone! This will hopefully be the last week of this purgatory. Whether you get into H or not, you’ll all do great wherever you end up. The fact that we made it this far means we were probably in the top 10% or even less of H’s applicant pool and that is something to be extremely proud of.

Just checked my daughter’s portal. They closed their waitlist 
@Mommabear1 I just checked my portal and also received notification that the waitlist has been closed. While I am sad, I have no doubt that each and every person on this thread will do amazing things at whatever school they are going to. Best of luck to all of you!
I checked too. They closed their wait-list. Thank you for the support. Good Luck to all of you in your future endeavors.
Somehow it is a relief after the long wait. Thank you all for your support and best luck to you all…
Just wonder anyone get in or still on wait-list?
didn’t get in either. Feels weird to part with such a long and drawn out process…
It was nice to talk (and commiserate) with you all! Good luck with the schools you’ve committed to and to those of you who got in, congratulations!
Did anyone actually get an email updating them about their portal change? I just happened to log in and saw the rejection…
@Mommabear1 My daughter didn’t get an email. I saw your message and asked my daughter to check the portal and saw the rejection.
Goodbye College Confidential!
I got an email about the rejection
@hwaitlist2024 Did your email talk about the rejection or did it just say there was a portal update?
It was in my spam folder
@strawbri13 was it about a portal update or just about the rejection?
Just a portal update.
Here is the exact email:
“ Dear _______,
There is an update in your Applicant Portal. Please log in and look for the Status Update to view your most recent letter.
Sincerely,
Harvard College Admissions”
Did anyone get an alternate email?
@strawbri13 was the status update you received a rejection or that you are still in consideration? Just trying to figure out if they closed the WL or if they are just sending out some rejections…
Status update was a rejection.
