Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

I’ve been absolutely hardcore jamming to Michael Jackson for days straight. It is weirdly calming.

@schroscat I’m gonna have so many papers due that week AND a concert so I’m going to be pretty much dead by the time the decision comes. Maybe I’ll get a massage or something so I can’t check my phone constantly! If only I were rich lol

@orionsagittarius no Harvard didn’t put anything out yet but I think Yale and Princeton released their numbers
@tuty143 I’ve got love for MJ too. Lately I’ve been getting into alot of reggae and jazz music

@flautamagica I’ll have concert prep, so I’ll have to deal with constant pressure to get my solos in check, haha. Weeee! I don’t even want to think of all the exams I’ll face within the next few days. (One in calc…) Maybe I’ll set my phone to go off ONLY if Harvard emails me. That seems like a great idea, right? (Probably not.)

@schroscat I have never been able to figure out how to do that on my phone, it’s so frustrating! The thing is I have so many things I COULD be doing to pass the time for the next 9 days but I just can’t focus on anything for more than a few minutes without thinking about Harvard!

@QueenN22 I listen to a lot of Years and Years and Panic at the Disco. Anyone else. But MJ is just classic and always puts me in a good mood.

I’m going to try to wait out until 6 to check my email/status. It’s going to be the only time where I’m begging my teachers to give me a test the next day or a project due so I can keep myself busy. What do you guys think about the email sending out order? I don’t know if I should put much faith into that theory

@flautamagica I COULD be filling out other college applications, I COULD be practicing my flute, I COULD be studying for tests, I COULD be going to the gym to relieve stress, I COULD be doing ANYTHING, but I’m here. Obsessively looking through threads and hoping that an admissions counselor will show up to my door, Harvard sweatshirt in hand, saying, “Congrats! You’re in!” But alas…

@QueenN22 What’s the theory?

@schroscat I was on a thread before and someone commented about how some Dartmouth alumni came to their house and congratulated them and gave them a free t shirt. I think this was still in the days where mail was the preferred mode of deliverance

@QueenN22 That sounds so great! I still wish it was letters so badly.

I can’t wait to buy college apparel!

@QueenN22 Has anyone verified the theory?

@QueenN22 wait I’m confused, are you saying they send the deferred ones first from 5-5:20 and then the acceptances?

@QueenN22 I wish you wouldn’t have said that! now I’m going to read too much into it! AGH

@tuty143 Now, I’m going to get an email at 5:30, and I’m gonna know what it means. Argh!

Sorry guys, it was just something on last year’s SCEA thread. Obviously no one knows what batch they are going to send yet but if you check last year’s , it may provide a better explanation. (Start from the back if you are checking though)

On the bright side my SAT Subject scores finally went through today! So they will be considered :))

@QueenN22 do you know which thread it is?
