@gibby the fall 2016 housing cancellation deadline for 2016 was June 1st and decisions came out before then…so i don’t think it is that dependent on it
^^ @dlp58sk8: I could not find the housing cancellation deadline for 2016, maybe you can provide a link, as that just doesn’t seem correct as all freshman, sophomores and juniors were required to move out of their dorm rooms in 2016 by mid-May. Knowing a little bit about Harvard’s bureaucracy, I wouldn’t have thought the Administration would have allowed students to return their keys to their dorm rooms without also making sure the housing paperwork for the 2016-2017 academic year had been submitted.
is it true we really aren’t going to hear back until june? how is that even possible when most schools require a deposit/decision by then…
@gibby The housing cancellation deadline for 2015 was May 15. http://osl.fas.harvard.edu/event/fall-2015-housing-cancellation-deadline
@packman012 Yep, the official website says June 1
Well if we look at the trends over the last four years (6 if you want to go just by dates and not days of the week), we should be expecting the decisions to come out on Friday, May 7 regardless of when the housing cancellation deadline is or is not.
(heck, even going by the trends of the last 7 years [seeing that the 7 years ago it was released on Friday] decisions should be Friday, May 7)
From https://college.harvard.edu/admissions/application-process/transferring-harvard-college
“Applications will begin to be reviewed by the Transfer Admissions Committee after the application deadline. Admissions decisions will be released by June 1. Early submission of forms provides more time for evaluation of your credentials and location of any missing materials, however, please note that college transcripts should be sent beginning in January in order to reflect your most updated academic credentials”.

By June 1 does not mean on June 1. It just means that decisions will be sent before then. Judging by past years, it seems to be May 7 this year. If I’m wrong I’m wrong, but I am pretty sure here.
How many of you are applying from public universities?

@HopefulCollege95 Friday is May 5
did anyone get interviews?
@snidget154 LOL I was looking at April, but still decisions should be released Friday, May 5
@HopefulCollege95 oh damn, that gets me even more nervous
Lol I’ve been checking the portal every day since I submitted it in February. Now it’s only a week away from the announcement oops
I just called admissions and they said decisions would come out June 1st. I even clarified if she meant ‘by June 1st’ and she said no ‘on June 1st’…ugh
That’s not true. I just called, and they said “you will definetly hear by June 1st, but we cannot guarantee it will be before then.” They are basically saying they cannot tell us an exact date. It may be Friday, it may be June 1st.
