As a side note, the sophomore class next year will not be 350 students less either, many former class of 2023 (would have been sophomores last year) also opted to take a gap year and shifted now into being sophomores next year in the class of 2024. The class of 2024 size is now almost back to normal with that shift.

Did anyone receive a call today? Just wondering because I saw in previous years waitlist threads that a round of waitlist acceptances normally comes out on Monday/Tuesday with a round of waitlist rejections on Friday.
No, apparently they are still discussing. Someone called on reddit
Where on Reddit? (Nothing new in under the regular decision mega thread)
theres a waitlist megathread
Did they also call kids on Wednesdays- Fridays?
It said in posts from previous years that it is normally Mondays and Tuesdays from around 3 PM to 6 PM, but I honestly donāt see any reason why they wouldnāt call on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
I typically would assume they already tapped the students they want to take off their waitlist, but because of Covid and the fact that no one has posted about getting off the waitlist yet, I donāt know what to think.
Someone would have posted they got off the waitlist but so far no one has posted that they were removed.
Of course, you must be right. Makes total sense. I wonder if this effect has cascaded down, so that even juniors and seniors decided to take a year off, rather than study remotely. How in the world are they going to house the extra students? Honestly, itās tempting to recommend that those who were admitted, take a gap year instead, but I donāt think that many will. People really want to get back to normal, which means getting back to in-person school.
any updates today? has anyone called?
I havenāt heard anything and Iām assuming that because no one else has and the window for their calls is closing, they probably havenāt reached out today. It would be great if someone could call the office tomorrow morning and find something out. I would, but Iāve already called them this week.
You guys, imma be real. They have your number on your file, and they might get super annoyed if you call and ask. If they pull from the waitlist, they will. You calling will not change the date, who will be pulled, and if they will accept. As numerous others have said, chances are, none of you are getting of the waitlist.
Again, I was on the waitlist last year. I hadnāt heard anything by late June or early JULY. Yes, I said July. Move on with the school youāre attending, and if they want you, they will tell you. Itās harsh for me to say, I know, but that is the reality of the waitlist.

Just got an email to check my portal for an update just saying that the class is full 
did anyone hear anything different?
I got the same email with the same message in my portal. Looks like we are out of luck. Anyway, I wish all of you the best in the future!

So unfortunate to wait this long. I wonder if Harvard Z-listed anyone
Idk if they sent this out to everyone, but I got my decision from the WL around an hour ago (I didnāt get in LOL). Iām totally fine about it, Harvard was kind of a joke application for me, as was my accept of the WL, and I would choose the school I am currently committed to anyway!
In case others didnāt get the email and are still in the running, good luck!
I didnāt get in, but it was expected based on the number of applicants they admitted this year
Damn this year sucks.
