Harvard Class of 2021 SCEA Applicants Discussion

@yerin2021 thank you SO much! >:D<
Could you tell me about some question he asked you? Like how he started or what he asked?

Hi, Is there anyone who still did not get a confirmation letter from Harvard about submission?

Did you applied offline? Cuz if you’ve applied online,e.g via common app, you should have recieved your submission right after you submit the forms.

Yes, I applied online and commonapp showed that it is submitted but I still did not get an email which is about my portal

Hey everyone, I have a question about the additional rec letters. I submitted two addition rec letters but they do not show up in my student status portal. It only shows the two required teacher recs. Will these rec letters not show up because they are optional? - I have had this same issue with colleges that I have applied regular decision to.

@nillupa - No, I am not a Shah Rukh Khan fan. I have same initials :slight_smile: I do watch his movies occasionally.

@Dreamliner51 - the confirmation email probably got stuck in your spam folder. Easiest way to see if your application has been entered is to (1) check CA to see if it shows “downloaded”, and (2) if yes, go to the Harvard application status portal, click on forgot password, and enter your email address. If your application has been entered, it will send you a temporary password immediately. If not, it will tell you “email address not found”.
@oceancreative - my application status also shows only two teacher recommendations, but CA clearly shows that they downloaded all the other recommendations - even the one that was submitted a few days after all the others.
@yerin2021 - like @CrimsonZa - I also would love to eat at Annenberg!

MedSciBud - thank you. but how to go to Harvard application status portal, can you provide me the link

Trust me, it gets old very quickly.

@Dreamliner51 - just google it. Providing links here may be a violation of CC terms.
@skieurope - it may be a cliche, but for all of us aspirants, Annenberg is the first step.

Guys I have interview in less that 3 hours any suggestion?
What question did your interviewer ask you? Plz give me specific examples:) <3

@Dreamliner51 did you find the Email?

@sungirl - from what I have read elsewhere and based on my own (domestic US) interview experience - absolutely no need to prepare. If you know about yourself and can passionately talk about what you have already written in your application - that’s all you need to be prepared with.

@sungirl
I was asked about my family, my school, how I get to school, what I do for fun, my favourite subject, one I like least, what good things friends would say about me, what weaknesses I have, Why Harvard not MIT, where else I would apply, what was written on my shirt and if I had any questions.

@ModiModi @intellectboy I am from India too. Applied SCEA. No interview yet. Not expecting one. They are limited in india.

Do you guys have any suggestions on how to reduce the anxiety of waiting till 13-15th december ?

We are all in the same ship

@CrimsonZa @MedSciBud thanks aloooooot guys this means a so much to me :x

1 hour to interview and I’m freaking OUT!
I feel like I may not make it to the interview I’ll die from the high level of stress

@seeadmit Do not worry! I am expecting one either. If I receive Interview, I would be happy. If I am not given one, I would stress about it! Just relax!
