@skieurope when uploading deferral letter do we upload under “Academic” or “Misc” under Harvard additional materials.

1053

Misc. But it does not really matter

Anyone else gonna take the Feb 6 ACT? I decided to, but sooooo many people are registered and trying to register that the best I could do was get a StandBy registration.

1055

I am also a standby.

I tried repeatedly to cancel my son’s October ACT seating from the minute we got his Sept score. I FB messaged them over and over (only method of communication that got any response), and still they never got around to cancelling his test. They said that there would be standbys, so that the spot wouldn’t go to waste. So I’m figuring that this happens a lot, and that there are likely to be seats for the standbys.

has any international students from Asia gotten an interview yet?

1058

I am from India, and I haven’t

1059

Has anyone from Canada gotten an interview yet?

When should one send a thank you email to an alumni interviewer? I have heard different things and am unsure.

1061

Within a day or two

1062

I heard from some people to do it right after… which I just did for one of my interviews… is that okay?

1063

I’m from Japan, and I haven’t…

1064

Immediately is fine. My manners class form cotillion suggested the next morning as the “proper” time, but they also suggested I wear white gloves when I dance with a lady…

The important thing is to send the thank you note.

It does not really matter, but I too think next day is better for a couple of reasons.

  • sending immediately may be perceived as a boilerplate thank you.

  • one may think of additional items to include after sleeping on it

The schedule send function in gmail is a great way to manage the delivery time.

Harvard Mid Year reports are due by February 1st. But ours comes out on February 24th. Should we send email to Harvard to let them know.

They are still working on them at my son’s school. If they don’t have them ready to go by Thursday, my son will email Harvard and explain.
