how tf did yall find the temporary pin. i didnt get an email from them about it and i have nothing written down in my passwords page? anybody else?

@AniAni Sorry to hear the news, and I recognize that it is a disappointment. Harvard has an admission rate of only 5% or less, so there are many, many accomplished, wonderful students (such as you) who they don’t have room for. The decision does not reflect on you as a person or the great things you’ve done.

I hope you’ve gotten into one or more schools that you’re excited about.

Rejected, but after looking at the credentials of some of the other students who applied to Harvard and got rejected, I’m not that surprised.

Waitlisted. Does anyone know how many are on the WL list? I know the chances of getting off the WL is very small.

Holy crap I got in!!!

Waitlisted :confused:

Only 2 APs but ~120 credit hours at local colleges through dual enrollment, including math courses like Calc III, ODEs, Real Analysis, Topology, etc.; and other courses like philosophy, OChem, calc-based physics, etc… What do I have to do to get in?!?

What’s the difference between Full Ride vs. Full Tuition?

Full ride includes room and board. Many times books and perhaps a stipend.

Full tuition is just that, tuition only.
