Harvard Class of 2021 SCEA Applicants Discussion

@indsidesource02, whoa what? Maybe its that Q1 grade that people have been saying.

Guys - before reacting - per @skieurope 's advice, please check the time joined and number of posts of posters reporting extra ordinary stuff. If joined just now and their first post - please ignore. This is not a new (but disgusting) habit of some people. Let’s avoid getting excited. Keep calm and wait for 5pm tomorrow - that is the earliest.

MODERATOR’S NOTE:
You should assume that there are no tea leaves to be read by attempting to log into the portal. You will find out at whatever time H releases its decisions; there is no back door.

On a related note, I am assuming that any HS senior who applies to Harvard knows how to read both a calendar and a clock. So the extraneous countdown posts will be deleted.

there are likely letters for EA too

the anticipation is consuming me! I also called today and was told to expect the notification at 5

Only for recruited athletes.

I do believe that the acceptance rate will be very, very low this year for Harvard. I think there were probably a ton of people applying to Harvard because of Malia Obama.

I predict that Harvard will have the lowest acceptance rate this year, and I feel like Stanford’s acceptance rate will go up because of Brock Turner and the negative publicity he brought to the school.

Nick Massenburg you’ve got this stop scrolling and go distract yourself because you’re talented and a genius and whether or not you get in does not depend on how much you stress. We all believe in you

I agree with @DoctorMD ; the same thing happened last year for UC Berkeley. A TON of students in my area were waitlisted but then accepted because a lot of kids dropped out after the scandals surrounding Berkeley’s admin.

Hi everyone! Just take a deep breath make yourself a cup of tea or coffee and pull up your favorite music! I hope the best of luck for all of us. Make this night a memorable one :slight_smile:

I agree about the Stanford acceptance rate. However, I find it incredibly hard to believe that people (let alone qualified candidates) decided to apply to Harvard solely for the purpose of seeing Malia Obama.

@MaryPishool LMAO kinda hard when you got Math and Chem exams tomorrow, although I guess it’ll be memorable in that respect!

@fossilfriend HAHA yeah it’s not the only reason for sure, but there’s definitely an element of appeal–I mean, imagine being roommates with Malia! Sunday brunch with the Obamas! Dream come true :slight_smile:

@pocrocodro well, try to concentrate! I mean there will be other nights when we have math and chem exams but there will be no other nights like tonight when we are all waiting with hope! Also good luck with your tests! You’ll do awesome :slight_smile:

@stresstasticlife definitely agreed–but I just don’t think people who were planning on applying elsewhere would change JUST for that! I definitely wouldn’t! Although I definitely have wondered what it would be like if she was my roommate.

With 1395 posts on this thread - I have not heard of even one person applying to H because of Malia!

@stresstasticlife, Dream come true?

Wow, am I the only one who is thinking Malia got into Harvard because of her name and not because of her academics?

If any of us were caught on camera smoking pot, we probably wouldn’t be getting into Harvard.

Has Harvard always released decisions around 5 pm or is this something nobody’s been able to confirm?

@MaryPishool Thanks so much!! I appreciate it…

I really would like to attend school with Malia. Honestly, I find her super attractive, although she’s clearly way out of my league and stands three inches taller than me lol.

@DeeperBlue25 - till last year - based on reading the other threads - H has released results on Thursdays at 5pm. This time, however, we are expecting it to be released on Tuesday. That is based on a Crimson article. The only other type of confirmation we have is from a veteran CC poster @T26E4 - who mentioned in a post earlier today that he heard from a reliable source that it will be 5pm tomorrow.
