<p>Does anybody know if Harvard pays for a portion/all of tbe travel costz for their admitted students weekend in April? I've heard rumors about that and i was just wondering.... Thanks!</p>
<p>its sort of tied to how much financial aid you receive annually, although i pretty much pay nothing for tuition and i still didnt get much to fly over.</p>
<p>Interesting…well that’s kind of a bummer</p>
<p>If you got in, but couldn’t go to the weekend because of cost, I would imagine that you could call the admissions/financial aid offices to get something figured out, but that’s just my guess</p>
<p>Idea! – get accepted first, THEN worry about this haha</p>
<p>I think if your EFC is 0 or close to 0 (income <75,000) you’re good to go. If you’re paying Harvard a little bit, your folks are probably in the 60K-180K bracket, and especially at the high end, I’m guessing travel costs wouldn’t be such a huge deal.</p>
<p>It depends on your family’s EFC.</p>
<p>Actually, @tb0mb93, I received a likely letter. Thanks to everyone else for your constructive replies.</p>
<p>@passion, </p>
<p>That’s great you received a likely letter. Congrats! Are you an athlete?</p>
<p>And, What did it say?! I heard they only send out a couple.</p>
<p>@Annetaylor, no, I am not an athlete (well, I play 2 sports, but not recruited). I am a normal boy from Iowa, who is very well-rounded. I have no particular strength (no AIME, no state championships, no national office-positions, etc.) and was frankly shocked to have been admitted at all, let alone early. The man who called my house simply said that the committee was very impressed with the “personal characteristics” of my application. I spent a great deal of effort on my essays, and I was pretty proud of them. Also, the recommendations from my school were superb. I have 2300+ SAT, 10 APs, but nothing extraordinary.</p>
<p>The letter was generic to likely candidates; it said they will extend a formal offer of admission in late March, as long as everything holds constant. Then they tried to sell Harvard.</p>
<p>dayummm Harvard likely letters are already being sent out? Congrats Passion! how long ago did you receive your letter and call? Did you also get a likely letter from Yale?</p>
<p>congrats! when did you submit your app</p>
<p>Wow, it seems like quite a few likely letters are being sent out this year. Congrats, Passionfruit! Did you get your letter as an e-mail or as an actual letter in the mail? </p>
<p>If I got in, I would qualify for full financial aid (99% sure). I have my interview tomorrow! Does anyone have last minute tips? I know what to wear and etc., but what should I watch out for?</p>
<p>^They will ask for your test scores, so be on the watch out for that. They’ll also be sensing your drive to do whatever you’re passionate about.
Also of course, watch out for the pompous ultra-liberal views :)</p>
<p>I second @mentos question. When did you submit your application @passionfruit?</p>
<p>@passion fruit</p>
<p>I didn’t get to go to my prefrosh weekend, but they basically set up an account for me to book a flight or train in a travel agency and sent me password and username. I couldn’t go due to my school concert but they were willing to pay up to $300 for travel expenses I believe.</p>
<p>I submitted in early December, but as of a few weeks ago the status website still said they were missing a few things.</p>
<p>No, I did not receive a likely letter from Yale. (I am not a science student). I wish I would!</p>
<p>Do most of the students who will be accepted receive “likely letters”? I never got one, and I submitted my application back in October… :(.</p>
<p>I’m going to be in Boston the weekend after admissions decisions come out, so I’ll come and have my own party regardless of whether I get in or not.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nope. That’d be pretty pointless.</p>
<p>Most don’t receive a likely letter</p>
