Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@QueenN22 yes. I want to have as many options as possible

I leave the thread for one hour and “99 notifications”…
Chill fam, you’re all amazing for even applying early to this school so take the next few days to do something fun and keep your mind off of it. Me, I’m going to try and finish season 7 of Friends :slight_smile:

@AnnaLuxe it’s pretty natural for people to be freaking out about this lol. friends would probably do everyone a bit of good tho.

I already applied to a bunch of other schools and scholarship programs because I don’t think I’ll be able to write a coherent 500 word essay through my Deferral tears

@AnnaLuxe Friends is fantastic, I started the series over again haha.

I literally check my applicant portal all day too, hoping that there will be some change. It’s crazy to think that our future will be determined in 9 days. We all want this so badly. It’s just crazy to think about.

If this gets 6 likes, one of you likers will probably be accepted!

@expertiger fingers crossed, haha.

@expertiger when i’m so desperate I actually liked it. haha

@tuty143 when I’m so desperate that I liked my own post xD
(I unliked it to be fair to the rest of yall)

@expertiger likes the post and cries

@flautamagica Dude, you shouldn’t be worried.

@schroscat It’s a lottery! And neither should you, your stats are great!

No one on here should be stressing, we are all stellar students and going to excel wherever we may end up :slight_smile:

ugh i hate how college apps these days are so competitive…did you know that ucla gets over 100k applications a year? i literally wish i was born five years earlier

My grandpa got into harvard and he stabbed someone in the hand as a high school junior. Tells u the difference between now and then haha.

@flautamagica Oh, god, no. The only thing giving me a remote chance is my background and story. I’m going to be worried for the rest of my life, haha.

This is very nerve-wracking. I can see the adcom debating my file and talking about my life like it’s happening in front of me. In all fairness though, it’s probably done already.

I wish so badly that this was a rolling admissions process.

@orionsagittarius Don’t you think that would be worse, though? Hearing everyone’s acceptances and counting off how many spots are left…

@schroscat it would liven it up at least.
