<p>is there an admitted students reception in december after EA comes out?</p>
<p>My friend had an interview today, and the interviewer said he hopes to see my friend at the harvard reception in december in her local area. </p>
<p>what does that mean? what is the harvard reception in december?</p>
<p>Any reception is up to the alum volunteers on the local schools committee and to any local Harvard club.</p>
<p>but would this reception be for newly accepted students in december in the local area?</p>
<p>where are you from? it depends on the Harvard club, but yeah. If you want to PM me and tell me where you two live, I can give you more info.</p>
<p>So if someone is not invited to the reception, that means they have lower chances to get in ?</p>
<p>hahah, no. Some regions typically have receptions for all EA admits. The Harvard club will not discriminate against any admits in its invitations; all are invited. So, a verbal invite is just another way of saying that the interviewer hopes you are admitted.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry about the reception business. That's a long time from now. December 15 has to come first.</p>
<p>Sounds like the interviewer was just making a polite closing comment.</p>
<p>Don't read anything into getting or not getting such a comment.</p>
<p>In Atlanta, the reception is for both accepted EA and prospective RD candidates. It's a recruiting pitch (and great lunch); most of last year's attendees were anticipating applying RD.</p>
