<p>Hey did anyone else get an invitiation to local harvard holiday receptions? i got an e-mail from my local harvard thing, inviting me to a reception. Since it was sent out today (12/13) do u think i could assume i was not rejected? So the accept / defer / deny lists are probably already set in stone… <em>as if we didnt’ know that already</em>. but do u guys think this invitation is enough to know that i was not denied? cuz i guess / hope that the alumni group prolly has a list cuz that would be cruel and unusual punihsment for the harvard alumni group to give a rejected applicant an invite to a harvard gathering, right? </p>
<p>the e-mail looked like this (some phrases may be changed and/or removed cuz im paranoid like that)</p>
<p>Dear Early Action Applicant,</p>
<p>On behalf of the Harvard Club of ______________ Committee, I would like to invite you to the Clubs Holiday Reception. It will be held _<strong><em>, December </em> from 5:00 to 7:00p.m.at the </strong> Club, located on the corner of <em>so and so streets</em> . </p>
<p>This annual gathering is a chance to meet other applicants, as well as current Harvard undergraduates from the __________ area. There is no need to dress up and feel free to bring your parents!</p>
<p>That lists all Harvard Clubs throughout the world. In Ohio, there are two: one in Northeast Ohio and one in Cincinnati. Both don't have any events scheduled that the OP is mentioning.</p>
<p>I got one--I live in Phx, Az--it's hosted by the Harvard Alum Club at a member's house (which can be anywhere in the metro area, obviously). If you haven't gotten one, it's probably just something about your area-Harvard chapter. It doesn't mean you haven't been accepted.</p>
<p>In other words, I have to back Ariesdrgn up on this one--I think it's bonafide. Imagine, a calendar being wrong!!</p>
<p>I got an email like that too. It's scheduled for about a week after decisions come out. At least if i'm rejected, I know I get a free meal right?</p>
<p>ty smilie, sunglasses and bacc. alhtough i don't like being called a liar, if i were in u other guy's shoes i would question the validity as well. nice researching thing jayz. btw, u missed 1 ohioo club :P northeast one. but nearly all the club sites r out of date. the northeast ohio one has the "2003 calender of events". but i don't they'd be mean enough to send that invite out, and then have the person who got the invite be rejected early, would thye? thats all i really wanted to know :</p>
