Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

I am an applicant from lahore and I also haven’t gotten a call hahaha. It isn’t surprising though, because I was never expecting to get into Harvard anyway. What are your credentials btw? @mustafa123456789

@expertiger what do you mean by “The admissions team will notify us all at around the same time, whether our fate has been decided yet or not”? Do they say if we made it to full committee or something?

@tttttttttttttom I think what @expertiger is referring to is the fact that regardless if the admissions committee already plans to accept us, reject us, or defer us at this point, we won’t actually know until mid-December what the outcome of their decisions are since they won’t notify us if we’ve made it further along in their internal admissions decisions.

@RandomRhino gotcha; thanks.

Do you guys think it’ll be 5:00pm on december 10 or december 11?

do you know where exactly it will appear on the applicant portal? right on the front page?

@leonardo2020 that is a very good question… I’m also wondering about that too lol

Hey guys would you mind chancing me real quick? http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1834318-harvard-scea-chances.html#latest

Thanks

@MDMBAJD2026 it’s nearly impossible to chance anybody for HYPSM

I’m super pissed off. I rush ordered my SAT Subject tests that I received score reports on yesterday and apparently “the college board is having trouble getting them sent in a timely fashion”. They need to get their shit together because they are dropping the ball this year.

@tuty143 W T F mine say “pending” as well. when will they be delivered?

@lordjonsnow
Ppl have gotten in without an interview.

@leonardo2020 I have no idea! I’m worried because my subject tests are really good so I thought they would add a lot to my application but they are just not doing their job. Does anyone know the undergraduate admissions email so I can let them know about the delay?

@mustafa123456789 Pakistanis usually don’t :frowning:

@tuty143 yeah same here; I just got 2 800’s back.

I considered uploading a screenshot on my applicant portal, but I don’t know if that’d only annoy the adcom since they only consider the officially sent scores?

@lordjonsnow
they have

@lordjonsnow
Have others in Lahore gotten an interview?
There is no alum in Khi doing interviews so …

I don’t think you should regret that! The premise seems fine. T-minus 14 days everyone

I have a question about the benefits of accepting Early Action right away. For example, if a student is admitted to a restrictive early action Ivy League mid-December and does not have to accept until May, what is the advantage of accepting right away in the winter?

For students who accept the offer right away and commit to enrolling, do they get 1st choice for dorms, 1st choice for classes, best options for accepted students weekend or first pick for pre-orientation sign ups?

Overall, do you have an advantage to accept your admissions right away? I am aware that some pre-orientation activities fill up by the time that May rolls around.

How are there only 14 days left? Don’t decisions come out on Dec. 15th? Someone earlier said that they might come out on the 11th, but is that actually true?
