rejected…
My son was waitlisted - question… is there really a chance if they are waitlisted?
@collegemama321 I’m a current Harvard freshman and I know multiple people here that got off the waitlist, so there’s definitely a chance. Congrats and good luck!
@collegemama321 Very small chance. H waitlists many. Last year or the year before they took no one from waitlist because the yield was higher than expected. But don’t be disappointed though.
waitlisted
Waitlisted!!!

fat rejection
Accepted, never would’ve expected it
I was rejected too! ?? Honestly though I am not surprised at all. It’s Harvard. Congrats to all of you on a successful senior year and good luck at college! 97% of us applicants were not accepted to Harvard regular decision. That’s okay! Go earn a Nobel Prize at your college, whatever it might be. And a hearty congratulations to those accepted today. You guys are all amazing.
Accepted!!! Is this real?!? I still can’t believe it!
DD waitlisted and still hopeful!!!
Welcome to Harvard! Member of the class of 22 here to say this place is AMAZING. I could not imagine being anywhere else. To everyone who did not get accepted, it is ok! No school defines you and you will find a college home. Sorry if this sound cliché, but I think sayings become cliché because they’re probably wise. I hope you all feel free to message me or any other students to learn more about the wonderful place I call home.
Accepted today, Economics.
@LondonVall Any advice for how and what they did to show interest?
I study economics. (HMU to learn about our programs, which are the best in the country for grad and undergrad). @NellieWhoah
stats??
