Harvard Class of 2021 SCEA Applicants Discussion

Where is this portal where the decisions are? Is it through Common App or the Harvard website? Thanks.

@str8outtafolsom - did you apply SCEA?

@Clareesi YES! Waiting for season 3 is worse than waiting for Tuesday!

@str8outtafolsom It’s on the portal, I believe

Anyone hyped for Star Wars Rogue One next Friday? :smiley:

tips for RD applicants?

@johnwayne8321 I would say submit your app asap–that’s what our school counselors told us! GUYS I have a question: my friend who lives on the east coast said that you can actually stop by the school on a visit and ask if you got in at the admissions office–is this actually true? (sorry this seems like such a silly question but I’m so new to all of this!)

@stresstasticlife why do RD applicants have to submit apps ASAP?

I am so, so, so nervous for Tuesday.
I’m currently a freshman at my country’s best university and no one (including myself) seems to understand exactly why I decided to apply to Harvard. But I just had this gut feeling that I’d be able to do so much more outside my comfort zone and decided to go for it.
That said, I’m expecting a straight-out rejection letter. No hard feelings…?
I hope we all get accepted.

Did any of you have an interview with an adcom?

You guys might want to check this out meanwhile. It was posted on a harvard blog few hours ago. :slight_smile:

@jamieevren1210 Where are you from? I’m also an international in an unusual academic situation!

@iamrebus I did. Did you? How was it?

Yeah @MaAb1379

Whom did you have it with?

@stresstasticlife There is no “walk in” ability to obtain decisions. Someone is pulling your leg

No. You can stop in, but they won’t tell you. You need to wait like everybody else.

I think Cornell decisions come out today! It’s just so surreal that many kids in our class are finding out where they’re going to college. I still feel like a freshman :slight_smile:

@MaAb1379
I’m from Taiwan! The entire Harvard College currently has only ONE Taiwanese student. I’m seriously doubting my chances now…

Do they send an email a few days ahead of time to confirm when decisions are available, or only when the portal changes?

Hey guys, y’all might want to check this out. An article on the website, which was published a few hours back.
