Hi everyone! This May I was accepted to the Harvard class of 2021 off the waitlist and will be taking a gap year. I was wondering if there are any others out there who are doing the same thing.
Me! I’m in the same situation as you
Do either of you know how many have a 2021 admission from 2020 high school class?
I don’t know specifically for the last admissions cycle, but it’s usually around 20 +/-. Once a student steps foot on campus though, nobody asks or cares if s/he was admitted SCEA/ED/deferred/WL/z-listed.
True. It is more to see how much they are borrowing from one batch to the next in terms of deferring certain number of students using z-list which means they are that many admits short for next year.
If Harvard engages in the same practice (z-list or whatever) every year, which they seem to do, it doesn’t really result in any shortage for the coming year. It’s just part of their ongoing process.
