Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@cheerleader16 and for people that are DEFINITELY going to get in (like children of millionaire donors)

:slight_smile:

I just got an email for an interview this morning. I’m shocked that they’re still accepting them… Thoughts?

I heard they’re conducting interviews till Friday…so idk

How is everyone’s school day going?

@tuty143 it went alright, I’m exhausted!! 8ish days left?? Hahah hopefully Thursday is the day of reckoning!

@nsliyromanov I’m still in school and can’t keep my eyes open! I went to bed at like 3:30 lol (:expressionless:

School starts at 7:30 for me! What I would do to have school start at 8:30 haha

It should be illegal to awake this early.

@redrabbit23 I start school at 8 so i sort of feel your pain!

@ZAPrez my family is from Cape Town! I live in the U.S., however :slight_smile:

AH this waiting period is so stressful. Can’t sleep or focus on anything other than decisions coming out in 9 days. How’s everyone feeling today?

Well I’m not in school right now but @Sajidur4 I know what you mean :confused:
I’ve been up since 5…

I wonder why the number of EA applicants hasn’t been released yet, maybe there was a big drop from last year?

Lucky for me, I have field trips tomorrow and Thursday; that’ll help the day count go by quickly! I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself next week. Maybe we should all camp out in Cambridge and wait together. :slight_smile:

@AnnaLuxe I read somewhere that Harvard doesn’t release statistics so the applicants don’t get too freaked out. (I hope it’s your guess, though. Imagine if only 900 people applied, and every single one was accepted!!)

@schroscat yes, group trip to Cambridge! At least that would demonstrate interest haha (not that it matters for Harvard)

@AnnaLuxe We all wait on the quad, laptops in hand, for 5:00.

Actually, we all wait by the “John Harvard” statue, one hand on his foot, one on our laptops, for 5:00.

@schroscat when I was at the campus, I heard that Harvard freshmen urinate on that foot xD probably a myth though

@Sajidur4 actually, it is not a myth. Over 50% of graduates confess to having done it at least once while attending.

@Sajidur4 @snackpack02 *sanitize the foot first

DO NOT
TOUCH THE FOOT

DON’T

Does anyone know when the portal will be updated with the official release date?
