Waitlisted it seems like a lot were this year? Or is it just cc

@thinkbig14 I honestly have no idea what they did, but a letter of continued interest is a typical next step. Also sending in only significant updates/achievements since you first submitted a few months ago might possibly help to move you up the waitlist. It’s not common that people get off the waitlist, so definitely start thinking about other paths, but it’s also not impossible, so dedicate the extra effort if you truly believe Harvard is where you should be. Good luck!

Got AdCom interview at beginning of March.
All I can say is wow, and thank you all for being of such great aid in this process.
For those who got accepted, did you get an email from Harvard about your letter before viewing it or any email at all?
@Futureivy2023 Yes, it was just an email that said an update was made to the portal.
@Futureivy2023 I got in, but got no communication from them at all
@jordanHeston @popcorn454 Congrats!! Call me paranoid but I am too scared to view my decision and am coming up with theories instead.
@Futureivy2023 do it! you have nothing to lose. i was honestly the same way, I waited until after I half-ate my dinner and then heaved in nervousness to finally just open it. regardless of what is on that letter, the fact you applied shows a unique form of initiative many students could dream of having. opening it will reveal to you nothing more than what the Committee decided at this single point in time - not you, not your success, not your future.
