@PJANDAL I have that as well on my portal - I’m 99% sure it is my first quarter grades being uploaded by Harvard itself after my guidance counselor sent them over to the school, but I would love confirmation if anybody knows. (They were also uploaded at 3am.)
OK - it says “academic work” he did not upload any other academic work other than what he had uploaded in October - angst!!!
@sidddhartha - that sounds like it - the first quarter grades. There is no other place for it to go, so shows as “academic work”. @PJANDAL - did your GC recently send in 1Q grades?
My first quarter grades showed up as “Academic Work” as well
@Jay37p I’m just lurking in this thread (applying SCEA to Princeton) but I do not plan on updating my application. I might if I get a deferral though.
Same here…if you are referring to Coca Cola. I figure the effect on the application is negligible as the volume of semifinalists is relatively high with respect to Applicants.
Guys and gals - just so we can all stress together, I found this post (old, but relevant), which states that the full admissions committee is most likely in session right now - deciding our fate!

If you’re curious as to what it’s like, here’s an audio report about Amherst committee deliberations:

@T26E4 or anyone else who may know:
- Does the adcomm review in alpha order or is there any order at all?
- What changes on the portal when the decision is released?
@T26E4 - thanks for sharing that. Clearly shows the process is extremely random, depends on the moods of the panel members, etc. My take away - if I don’t get in, it’s definitely not because I am not qualified nor because others are more qualified - but because the powerball was not in my favor that particular day!
@MedSciBud Still feels kinda bad though - to have tried so hard for so long only to get rejected because of chance 
SO, if there is something you want to inform Harvard about (like a new achievement), how is that to be done?
Wait, so you guys have been submitting your first-quarter grades? I thought H only wants a mid-year report…
Hey guys, I am an applicant from Singapore. Although H says on its website that Singapore has ‘Limited’ interviews, I noticed that many ppl on this thread got alumini / skype interviews in countries with similar number of limited interviews… Honestly, shld I be worried?
@katz2410 - if you read the posts about interviews, I am sure you read the ones about no worry if no interview as well
Hahhah yea true enough!! I guess its just my pessimism 
Txs though!
Don’t worry @katz2410
mid-year report means first semester or first quarter report not mid semester or mid quarter report as per my son’s GC.
Correct - H does not expect mid-year reports till Feb 2017.
I took Harvard off of my fafsa over the weekend being I assumed they already downloaded it in order to add more RD colleges I applied to. Do you think that it was okay to do so?
