Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

really insightful video, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k1xY7v8dDQ

@james1998iq :frowning: I’ll make sure I’m alone in my room

Also, my interviewer told me that the decisions will be out on Dec 11. Do you guys think so?

@icrievrytiem hi buddy

@icrievrytiem hahaha. I really was hoping it was some insight into the Harvard admissions office. We are never truly safe

@Sajidur4 I think we have collectively thought that decisions were released on the 10th, the 11th latest.

That one likely letter that someone posted said to expect a decision on Dec 11th I thought. Could be wrong.

Hello Penn people! We are a friendly community here that doesn’t bite (and we’ve been oddly successful in reviving this thread)!

Hm, maybe decisions ARE coming out on the 11th? Honestly I’m gonna keep telling myself the 10th because adding another day to my countdown right now will make me go insane. I’d rather wait until it’s officially confirmed by admissions

@RandomRhino about that…do you think admissions will send a follow up email on when they will be releasing decisions or will it just be an email sent the day of?

@schroscat IIRC someone said that the portal will be updated in early December with the ACTUAL decision date? I have no way to confirm that though. Also supposedly people call admissions on the week admissions should be released to ask what day it’s being released (so if someone was willing to call December 9 they’ll probably let us know if it’s “tomorrow” or “the next day”)

thank YOU for not applying to penn! Love you guys, you’re the best

@james1998iq just wanted to let you know that ice cream is always an option, and it’s probably better to just let the tears come out!

@RandomRhino If the portal is not updated, I will sacrifice myself to the admission deities and call on behalf of all of us.

Good luck to all you Harvard applicants!

@schroscat God bless you, just keep us updated on if/when you decide to call

@RandomRhino When should I call? Is the 8th appropriate?

I’d venture to guess that by December 8 or 9, the admissions people should have a grasp on what day decisions are coming out. Probably no earlier than the 7th though, but obviously waiting until the 10th (when many of us will be expecting a letter that evening) just to find out it’s actually the 11th will be stress-inducing

To those Turks out there – Freshman year I won a southeastern essay contest and went to Turkey for 10 days with my superintendent of schools, all expenses paid. I loved the country.

I’m also a middle class white male from the south so I really have little chance demographically.

@RandomRhino Good points. I’ll check back in to the thread during that time (I’ll be here anyway) and confirm that I’ll be the one doing the deed.

@trainguy1 wrong thread? lol
