Harvard RD Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@blazedragon international here too! Where ya from?

@asiankid88 I am from India. :slight_smile: I think I saw you mention somewhere where you were from, but with the crazy amount of CC activity that I have been silently observing, I don’t really know. xD So, where are you from? :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

@Monster1997 You wished to study Astrophysics too? Rejected from MIT and waitlisted by UChicago? Wow you and I have a lot in common, which is awesome! I haven’t met any people applying for an astrophysics major yet on CC, as far as I know, so it’s totally cool. :slight_smile:
Harvard is truly like a dream, but secretly now my first choice is Princeton. :wink:

@blazedragon Taiwan!! Haha, i think i recognize your name somewhere too. UCLA maybe? U of Chicago? idk. I got rejected by Northwester and Waitlisted by WashU in St. Louis and U of Chicago. Accepted to UCLA though, so pretty blessed and it’s always nice to have UCLA to fall back on haha.

@asiankid88 Must have been UChicago’s thread. I was there for some time, but then kinda stopped going there after being waitlisted :smiley: That’s how I normally use CC. Decisions out, I leave the thread :smiley: :slight_smile:
(Probably because I am yet to receive any good news. xD )
But congratulations for UCLA! It’s an amazing school too! :slight_smile: I have applied to UCB only though. :slight_smile:

International here. I wish to study Engineering but only for Environmental Engineering :smiley:

@hola1997 What country? @blazedragon thanks!! UCB comes out in two days? haha good luck to all of us on that! :slight_smile:

@asiankid88 : I’m from Vietnam but currently in a U.S Highschool.

@blazedragon my first choice is EE but I want to study Astrophysics too ( I participated in IOAA too, so it makes sense that I love astrophysics).

Actually, princeton is my second choice ( after stanford ).

How do you guys control your stress ? :smiley:

I watch TV series House of Cards, The Man in the High Castle, just finished those two, about to watch West Wing now :smiley:

@Monster1997, I ride my road bike or read.

What is everyone’s intended major?

Mathematics

@Monster1997 I have exams and other stuff going on, and I am trying to concentrate on them more. xD :smiley:

@shivaya Astrophysics :slight_smile:

@blazedragon - Astrophysics is a very fascinating major. Good luck!

@shivaya Thanks :slight_smile: It surely is really very fasicnating, and I really hope I can finally get to learn more about it from the best :wink:
Good luck to you too. Mathematics is obviously really amazing too. :smiley:

Are decisions coming out on the 31st? Or earlier? It says “late March” on their website…

Fellow international here from the UK! Hoping to study Biology/Cognitive Science! Have everyone’s IDOC documents been processed and received?

@parisbarca77 Decisions come out on the 31st

Thanks @Ayieee !

Question: Do you think Harvard considers your intended major when they look at your application?
Does it affect your chances of admissions to mark one major over another?
