The first link after apply/update contains “class-2024”. Does yours? Do all?
@binlee Yeah mine has that too, and when I click on it, it leads me to the admitted students website but obviously I can’t log in to it. I think all of them have it maybe?
@binlee Mine does. I’m guessing all do
has anyone tried logging into the admitted students website?
mine does too. Im pretty sure this is the same for everyone. Don’t read too much into these types of things.
@ohnoitsme i tried logging in and it failed.
@kobe248224 same here
If you click on href=“/apply/update”, it takes you to https://apply.college.harvard.edu/apply/update , where it states:
There is no update to your application status to report.
The link that follows href=“/apply/update”, is → “https://college.harvard.edu/class-2024?suid=2365a92b-2cd9-46b6-b7ea-fa05df8f6ff2”, which takes you to → https://college.harvard.edu/admitted-students-login?destination=/class-2024 (Log in does not work.)
@OverseasFather Interesting, that, in my first link following “apply/update”, the number/letter sequence that follows “suid=” is different than yours, but yet takes me to the same Admitted Students Website. So, what is “suid”?
No clue. ‘Student User ID’ ???
jeez yall are overcomplicating this . There is no way to know about decisions until march 26
It always amuses me to see people inspect element every year hoping for some sort of hint. I’m certain Harvard’s aware of this and makes sure there’s nothing to be found there.
To be fair, I did the exact same with inspect element and the admitted student website last year in the days leading up to my decision.
@Hitch123 @lizardwizard9 Your anecdotes do nothing to explain why @OverseasFather and I, in “view page source”, have different “suid=” values and yet each different “suid=” value takes us to the same Admitted Students Website. Tell us, what is “suid”?
Where exactly is everyone finding these links?
In portal: Right-click then “View Page source”.
Speaking as a white person who was accepted to Harvard’s Class of 2022, I put “prefer not to answer” because white people don’t have the “diversity” hook. When I put my ethnicity on other applications (MIT, UChicago, WashU etc) I was deferred then waitlisted or rejected. When I left out my ethnicity (Columbia, Harvard etc) I was accepted. At this point you can’t change it but for other applicants in the future I’d recommend putting “prefer not to answer” if you are white. OR if you are white and Middle Eastern for example, bring up how your culture has shaped you in one of your essays - that could still be a “diversity hook”.
Yeah, if you’re an ORM/not a URM, it might be a good idea to put “prefer not to answer” for ethnicity. Of course, your results might be completely coincidental, but I’ve heard some similar stories.
Anyone know how they view mixed people? I’m white/black and curious if they’d count me as a URM
@billbixby34 I’m Asian and have an obviously Asian last name. Wouldn’t schools be able to infer something about your ethnicity from your name?
@ohnoitsme I bet that they could which is my I would always state your ethnicity. It is better to embrace it than reject it!
