I personally used my Pomona favorite book supplement, and I guess they will find the topic by themselves. I think that as long as your essay is strong you do not need a topic.
I didn’t write what prompt I was answering because I think it’s easy enough to tell what prompt a letter to my future roommate answers.
@Faultystart It would also be a bit awkward to write “Letter to roommate” at the top of your essay 
Does anyone know when the art supplements are due? Tonight as well or no?
@Theoddorre yeah, the only reason I was thinking aboout creative writing is because they specifically said you could submit research and/or creative writing on the application and on the portal, so I was assuming it was fine to?
Just submitted my app. Now 3 months of nervously awaiting my imminent rejection!!
@lhw1998 exactly how i feel! I hope they’ll like my approach to the roommate essay haha
are you guys putting any form of header on the uploaded doc for the writing supplement?
Yes I did but I don’t think it’s necessary
@DryMango what did you put?
@DryMango do you happen to be related to @JuicyMango?
Hey guys is Harvard taking a long time to acknowledge receipt of your scores? I sent my ACT score to several schools on 12/22, and on my Harvard checklist it still says they don’t have it. Are any of you also experiencing this?
@swim1128 When did you apply? I submitted my app about a week and a half ago and I haven’t gotten a portal invite yet:/
@DreamforIvy that’s weird, I applied on the 29th and got my portal email the next day
Did anyone else get invited to a non-evaluative Harvard Holiday Party?
@swim1128 yeah same. I sent my scores to all my schools on the same day and Harvard is the only school that hasn’t acknowledged receiving them.
@ap012199 I’m getting so nervous and there’s nothing I can do -_-
@swim1128 Harvard says that they’ve received my test scores, although I did send them in around 12/05. Give them some time since they probably are trying to match all these scores to so many applicants.
iirc I sent in my subject test scores 12/06 and my portal says they received them on 01/02 (maybe because that’s when they downloaded my application though? I’m not sure)
But I sent my ACT on 12/01 and they received it 12/04
I’m sure everything will work out, don’t worry!
@Faultystart thanks!
@ap012199 please let me know if/when your scores show up on your portal
