Harvard RD Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

I just love the Innovation Lab, the join-major in environment science and engineer and of course the peer-learning is definitely something I love and in fact what my interviewer remembered most.

I love Harvard because of the diversity of the student body and the faculty! I love how no two people are the same and I love and appreciate the different backgrounds, life experiences, and perspectives of everyone there! I love the amazing science programs they have there and the library is incredible! Also, I love the location of Harvard. Since I am visually impaired, I am going to have to go to college in a place where there is fantastic public transportation systems, and Cambridge as well as Boston have the best of the best in terms of public transportation, in my opinion. If I end up going there, I cannot wait to explore the city and utilize the amazing public transportation systems that are there! It makes me so excited to learn more about what the world has to offer! I know I can do anything I set my mind to and that I am unstoppable! I do not and will not let my disability hold me back,especially when it comes to college life and my life after these next four years! I believe that Cambridge is the best place for me. :slight_smile:

Hi! I’m brand new to CC but I have been reading for a while now as decisions have been coming out! I applied to Yale REA and got deferred and applied to Harvard Regular. My GPA weighted is 4.3 and have 2230 SAT and a lot of volunteer work and dance and a lot of connections! Any idea of my changes??

Can’t believe decisions are in less than 2 weeks

Same here! So nervous though!

I applied to multiple ivies as I’m sure many of you did too! any thoughts on what order in which to check them???

@bella2016 Do they all come out the same time?

@CharliGibbons I think they all come out at 5pm EST?

@RandomRhino Oh I didn’t know that. @bells2016 I know I will be checking Harvard first!

@bella2016 @CharliGibbons Since they all probably won’t come at exactly the same time, I’m thinking of just checking in the order they appear in my inbox… but of course I might make an exception if I get caught up in the heat of the moment

@RandomRhino That sounds like a brilliant plan

ya smart I’ve heard that they all are 5pm EST but i remember when i checked my Yale REA decision it came out a few minutes after 5pm EST so I’m sure there is a lag for some of them

what other ivies did you all apply to??

@Bells2016 Just Princeton and Harvard for me - didn’t really like Yale (don’t mean to offend anyone but it wasn’t for me)

@bells2016 Where did you apply?

I applied to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Columbia because I have no self-control.

@whizkid98 That’s awesome! Wish you the best of luck!

Thanks! I’ll need it @CharliGibbons

@whizkid98 I think we are all in the same boat lol

@whizkid98 No shame in applying to many places!
