Harvard Class of 2025 — Regular Decision

This is what it shows on the home screen of my DS portal, but when he clicks on “Full Application Timeline” the second image pops up. This was also communicated to him by email.

I realised that if I log in through my saved web portal it shows ‘late march’ however, if I go to the original email to open the portal it has been updated.

My daughter’s is March either way.

Mine used to be march like a month back, then I got an email regarding the updated date, and after a few weeks, the portal also started showing April. International applicant from Asia.

Hi everyone!
I just found out my school counselor sent the officially-translated english transcript copy, but forgot to send along the original copy in the original language (I’m international). Do you think I should contact the admissions office? Do you think this error will get me in the rejection pile?
Thank you so much and good luck to y’all!

If you are worried about anything, you can always contact admissions.

why do you guys think HArvard accepts applicants that are already geniuses to begin with? I mean don’t you think it would be better to accept an applicant who has a lot more potential but they just haven’t shown it yet? Not saying that geniuses don’t have more potential.

Well this isn’t completely true. I have many friends who got in on a 3.8-4.2 gpa and they are visionary, inspired and motivated people. If you met them you wouldn’t say they are smart but rather as asset to the society in which they grew up in as well as the Harvard community. It is in this sense that Harvard is more holistic because good grades alone will not let the majority of people in.

I can tell you from experience that not all accepted applicants are geniuses.

Hi guys!
Someone on Reddit said that their financial aid button on the portal (update financial aid) disappeared for them. I still have mines and can edit my SSN but did anyone else’s go away?

My daughter’s didn’t. But, hers also still
shows late March for decision date.

Is Harvard AO interview still going on? Or is it all done🦉

I have never seen this button before. Could you show a screenshot??

My D’s portal has her financial aid button on the portal. & the letter on the portal she received when she was deferred back in Dec 2020 still has March 31st.

Lol, I can also confirm from personal experience from law school and Wall Street that not all Harvard grads are geniuses.

The only thing different on my sons is that admission status link on the top left. He doesn’t have that at all.
edit…nvm I see that you were deferred, that explains it. Anyway good luck!

Can you share Reddit link?

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/kld2b6/harvard_university_rd_megathread/

it seems that certain comments have been removed by the moderator, but if you scroll through the discussion there should be a user who mentions that their financial aid button has gone away.
