Harvard Class of 2023 Waitlisted Discussion

Thank you @YuthSA

Like I didn’t get waitlisted at Columbia or Penn @YuthSA but it was an extremely nice thing to do. Just think about it you probably helped two people get into the school of their dreams

@2317cl Based off last year about 12 pt today I think

There might be an unopenable update on your application beforehand which could be a rejection

My school tutors think it is a great idea to store your wait-list letters from top schools for inclusion on your CV - in most situations after graduating, a prospective employer with decent values will not only respect your ability for having got on an Ivy waitlist, but should admire your courage for having applied to such great schools in the first place.
I would venture a guess that many Harvard wait-list applicants will end up completing post-grad at a top drawer institution, and that is really where you focus on your chosen area of expertise.

Does anyone have a screenshot of the unopenable update? Or where it is located?

Yeah like where do we find this update

The update will more than likely be found in the forms section on the applicant portal

Last year didn’t some rejections come out with the first wave as well? Or do they generally send rejections right at the end

I’m not sure about other years, but last year the rejections came 2 days after the first acceptances.

So looking around some, do most of the admitted students have an interest in STEM, particularly in CS? I have seen a few bios of people who indicate they have interests in CS.

Has anyone been rejected? Or have we only heard about acceptances so far? Thanks!

My waitlist status has disappeared whenever I log in… it no longer has the section that says waitlist status: You are confirmed to remain on the waitlist

Is that happening with any one else?

I can confirm: waitlist status has disappeared.

Mines still there

Mine still says: “You are confirmed to remain on the waiting list.”

same here my portal still says waitlisted. Is the disappearance good or bad?

First wave decisions are updating on the portal soon! One thing, though. On my application portal a section is missing and i just noticed it today. It used to say “Waitlist Status: you are confirmed to stay on the waiting list” or something along those lines. Is this missing for anyone else?

Mine did too @ibanker38

Yeah, that’s gone for me as well…maybe it means we’re rejected lol @ibanker38

Do you know what time the portals are getting updated?
