@waitwhutwhy17 Thanks a lot! Congrats!
do deferred students get likely letters?
Apparently not @wherewillibe2021
@wherewillibe2021 I don’t think so because if students are top applicants, they probably would’ve been accepted rather than deferred in the EA round. (I was deferred too btw)
@ricka8 thanks!
@nervous17yearold welp we are on the same boat! btw, did you update your application in any sort of way since being deferred?
@wherewillibe2021 I updated my ECs a little bit but I think the biggest addition was a dance arts supplement.
also, are likely letters still being sent out?
Does any body know at what hour will decision will be revealed?
5 pm EST for all ivies
Every time I read about another person getting a likely letter, it reminds me of a few years ago when another top school (Johns Hopkins I think) accidentally sent out a ton of acceptance notifications to people who were supposed to be rejected. I really hope Harvard isn’t making a mistake… I didn’t think I was good enough to get in, let alone get a likely letter!
@brennan0111 now you have me scared…did you get a phone call too, or just a letter?
@brennan0111 I feel the same way. But I wonder how big of a mistake it is that they send an email to call, call, update the portal, and (in my case) contact the interviewer about admissions. If it all ended up being a joke I think I would die.
guys decisions come out March 31?
@Crystalline-asa March 30
@waitwhutwhy17 and @LindsayHarvard where are you from? Are you first generation ? Who receives likely letters apart from athletes and kids with amazing science awards?
@juniormathwiz I’m from a rural California town and I am first gen and URM. That’s exactly why I’m worried. There’s nothing exactly extraordinary about me. I’d be a borderline admit in general and don’t see exactly what about me merits a likely letter. Maybe we have a misunderstanding about who gets likely letters.
Maybe you’re just that good
What are your stats? If you have really good credentials (though not the spectacular ones that you think you should have) it makes sense that Harvard should send you a likely letter! Congrats @LindsayHarvard
I’m hoping for a miracle. Please let me get in!!! [-O<
Just wondering, where are your “safety” schools? Please don’t say Yale haha
