Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

Apparently my guidance counsellor was called and asked whether my recommendations are legit as they were “really great”. Thoughts? One of my teachers blurted that out to me without realising

@ZAPrez That sounds like such a great way to find out! That’s probably a really great sign; congrats!

@schroscat Thank you, but we will never know till 9 days from now I guess.

@schroscat I’m down for that linguistics talk :slight_smile: I get what you mean about wanting to learn languages simply because of how beautiful they are. A language I really want to learn at some point is Finnish – I just love the way spoken Finnish sounds! I can totally understand why Tolkien based his various Elvish languages on suomen kieli.

@Soheils I have no idea why I recognized Avicenna – somehow my brain retains all these random facts and bits of information, while suddenly forgetting all the functional groups just minutes before an organic chem test :frowning:

@ZAPrez that’s great news! Shows that they’re seriously considering your application right now :wink:

Good morning, everyone!
9 days, 9 hours, and 53 minutes remaining until the big day! :slight_smile:

@karakoram Gah, I love languages.

@schroscat good morning! What time does school start for everyone, just curious to know?

@redrabbit23 I’m currently on the school bus, haha. Advisory begins at 7:50 every morning!

@redrabbit23 8:30 AM :confused: I want sleep

For me it starts at 8:30 :frowning:

I have not had any interview call and I am so disheartened. Anybody else feeling the same?

My school starts at 8am but today is Romania’s National Day! So we have a day off. Happy Romania’s day yay

@Barcelona17 Are you by any chance from Spain, that is an international?

@cristina1225 What city/ high school are you from?

Are there any South Africans here by any chance?

@ZAPrez half South-African here :slight_smile: Where are you from exactly?

@highlyaspiring99 That’s awesome. Are you half-American too? Do you live in South Africa? I’m from one of the townships in KZN.

Has anyone received a likely letter/any word from adcom?

@schroscat Does Harvard do those?

@cheerleader16 i think so (for recruited athletes).
