Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

What do you all think about updating Harvard on a new, pretty major extracurricular activity? I feel like they should know but I’m not sure if they take kindly to being sent extra stuff…

oh my gosh that house gif was perfect…i love that show

@tuty143 We could do that, too. A Harvard original.

@pubkid I would assume that since they’re already starting committees, they won’t accept any new additional information regarding ECs. I may be wrong.

@schroscat @tuty143 it’s ok we’ll have our world famous trio to make millions

@pubkid what is it?

@pubkid what’s the activity? It depends on how major it is

@flautamagica @tuty143 The Triumvirate! Hmm…Trisnuteumverate!

Yeah like @schroscat said it may be too late for SCEA. The admissions office guy I talked to said Monday was the last day for anything to be sent in. If however you get deferred you can send in the update to strengthen your application!

@pubkid send! do it :slight_smile: it will only help your application, especially if its pretty major extracurricular activity. I would send it both through the portal and directly to the email of the Harvard admissions officer for your school (ask your guidance counselor for the officer’s email address!). That’s what I’ve been advised to do. Best of luck!

@pubkid I would maybe not send it in this round but put it in the deferral round if necessary. But that also depends on what the activity is.

I was selected for an extremely choosy (all-expenses-paid) program in NYC for “changemakers,” a word I use relatively lightly lol. @tuty143 @highlyaspiring99 @flautamagica

@pubkid congrats! It can’t hurt to send it in now, I’m just not sure it’ll be considered for SCEA…maybe try calling and asking!

Who else spends too much time on CC?
xD

@expertiger raises hand Me! Me!

I really hope some of you cool people get in. You all sound like the kind of people I want to surround myself with haha.

@expertiger sends virtual hug

@schroscat virtual hug graciously accepted

@expertiger throws cat

@schroscat takes some allergy pills because they make me sneeze but I still love them

@expertiger throws bunnies…and then some cupcakes
