Harvard Class of 2021 SCEA Applicants Discussion

Has anybody else not heard for an interview yet? US citizen, local resident (in the continental US). Really scared I’m rejected! All my friends have heard back in the same state :frowning:

Wait how sure is everyone that the decisions will be made on December 15th? Someone told me it has been the second Thursday of each month for the past two years, and last year it was the 10th, so is it possible they will release on the 8th?

Guys, the day decisions come out honestly does not matter.

I really really doubt it. At this point everyone is just guessing, but my guess is that they won’t come out until the following week.

Regardless, it is what it is; they’ll notify you you when they notify you.

@Publixsw1 Everything I’ve heard has said whether or not you get an interview has nothing to do with the quality of your application. If other people in your state have heard back, it wouldn’t hurt to give them a call. I don’t see how that would hurt you.

@pineapple86 Called and they said to just sit tight. I can’t understand why or how others have heard back

@Publixsw1 Either 1) they have ran out of available alumni volunteer slots and you were randomly left off the list or 2) you were assigned to someone who has not been very responsible or 3) you were only recently assigned to someone and they’re about to contact you.

Regardless of which is the reality, there’s a) nothing you can do about it and b) it doesn’t reflect a single whit about your application. Your name was sent out to the local interviewing committee before a single set of human eyes looked at your file or those of your fellow applicants.

Where exactly do the decisions come out in status port, in which section? I don’t see any specific place to see the results

Hi everyone,
I’m an international student and also had a Skype interview with an admissions officer. The interview went on for 30 mins (she’d already specified the duration when she emailed me). I think it went well? I definitely could’ve said better things than I did, but it wasn’t completely terrible.

@Dreamliner51 I’m guessing at the top of the page, where it now says “Welcome, x” once the decisions are released.

@watsoncrick99 where are you from?

@CrimsonZa very underrepresented country in West Asia

@watsoncrick99 Which country? I am in West Asia too.

@ahmedsheta Palestine. Where are you from? Did you get an interview?

Is there anyone from Central Asia?

@watsoncrick99 I am applying from Saudi Arabia. I just got an interview request today.

@ahmedsheta and @watsoncrick99 do you know any other applicants from your countries that got an interview ?

@CrimsonZa Not to my knowledge. I don’t know anyone else applying from my country, actually.

@MedSciBud Does that mean we have to wait until the 15th for decisions? I hope they come out the 10th.

@semperubisububi1 - that is my educated guess. I am a fellow applicant like you, who also wishes that the decisions come out earlier. But based on previous years’ trends, look like it will be 5pm December 15th this year. 27 days to go.
