Harvard Class of 2021 RD Thread

Columbia

It is so scary to wait for results!
My scores are not so stellar but my ECs, Grades and Essays are very strong.
Since I’m an international student who need tons of financial aid, I could only apply to ivies.
Seeing so many rejections at one time! Duh! It scares me.

@“Studio Ghibli” already accepted into some good schools, so I guess they’re my safeties now? I declined the offer from my legit safety today because I never would have gone there anyways.

@LindsayHarvard I felt the same way. I’m not an athlete, first Gen nor a URM and I haven’t won any major science awards. I thought it’d be a crazy small chance that I’d get in in the first place, let alone get a likely letter!

@agaradwalmridul09
Same boat as you. Did you receive an interview call?

International here, applied to harvard stanford columbia and notre dame, hopefully ill get into one… But honestly, I feel as if I am about to get rejected from all of my schools

@KerriFan It’s crazy, but I think I’m starting to believe it a little more. Do you think you’re gonna go?

I really want to get into Harvard or Stanford but I’m really feeling that rejection coming after getting rejected by Colby…

I’m really scared after being waitlisted fron Uchicago and JHU. Plz Harvard don’t let me down!

Any indian got interview

@LindsayHarvard I think so, but I also got deferred from Stanford so if I get in there idk what I’d do. :confused:

Guys I got waitlisted at UChicago do u think I have any chance at Harvard :, ( (and I was actually deffered at Harvard EA so

I think we need to start an entirely different thread for Indians asking about interviews. No joke.

There is always a chance. Speculation at this stage is just bad for your soul. Hopefully, you gave some good targets and safeties. Statistically you have about 1-2 percent chance at Harvard with an EA deferral. UChicago is basically a polite rejection at this stage. Their wait list this year is enormous as ED1 and ED2 consumed vast majority of acceptances. But you literally never know. This is a crazy process.

Oh my God, does Harvard just send LL instead of the regular accepted letters now?? :))

@DryMango hahaha it’s just that one guy :))

Is it too late for me to upload updates to the portal? I’ve seen some interesting developments in my life over the course of the past few weeks, but I hear that it’s too late at this point to tell the Harvard AO about them.

@TheCrimsonBulldog You wont lose anything by doing so, but I have a feelings decisions where already made at this point

Just curious: what are you all’s safety schools? My safety schools were UCD, UCSC, UCB, and UCLA. Got into all of them so far (still waiting on UCB though). Got into Cornell via likely letter though, so I guess that’s a safety school now too!

@LindsayHarvard Though they likely were, I just sent an update. I do feel that some of the information that I included could significantly help me. Here’s hoping!
