Harvard Transfer Thread?

<p>Oh, also when I called Harvard they said we definitely WOULDNT know by the 15th (I asked because wellesley needs their decision by then). I think the 20th deadline was generated based on last year's notification date and the vague info given to me by the transfer office (after the 15th, before the 1st)</p>

<p>The 16th is a week away- that's insane! And yet, the earlier the better! Are you guys nervous/ anxious/ excited?</p>

<p>are you done with exams chanchito?</p>

<p>Last year, i found out on the 19th.</p>

<p>Yep, I sure am! I had my poli sci one today, and now I'm free! What about you? When do you go home? I'm heading off on Saturday.</p>

<p>does anyone know what harvard really looks for in transfer applicants? are the essays really important? SAT scores?? how important are high school stats as opposed to college stats? (i'm currently a freshman wishing to transfer into harvard as a sophomore)</p>

<p>eeek 10 more days? sigh i really feel like i have no chance though =/ ah well.</p>

<p>anyone know when harvard releases decisions? other schools have already started. yale mailed today, and Stanford releases online on tuesday.</p>

<p>i just called - the receptionist said "they hope to release decisions by june 1st"</p>

<p>Expect it by next Friday.</p>

<p>why do you think next friday?</p>

<p>I am new to this website:</p>

<p>transferapp07 - How did you know Yale sent out decisions on Friday 5/11?</p>

<p>Of the <40 people that will get accepted to Harvard/Yale/etc..., how many are from the United States?</p>

<p>Do SAT Is matter much in the transfer admissions decision process?</p>

<p>Do you think schools tend to accept/reject the same sort of applicants?</p>

<p>With decisions 1-2 weeks away, do you think it is worth sending out new transcripts with up-to-date grades from this semester?</p>

<p>i know because i called them, in fact, yale actually mailed on may 9th, because I received my letter of rejection today, and the 9th is when it was postmarked.</p>

<p>im not sure about all of your credentials questions. (best to browse the boards)</p>

<p>but i would definitely recommend that if your final grades are good, have them faxed to the schools (mail takes too long)</p>

<p>sorry to hear the bad news regarding Yale transferapp07</p>

<p>I managed to get a 4.0 this semester so I will try to send out my transcript ASAP except it looks like my fate is already sealed (haha.. literally in an envelope) regarding Yale’s decision at least.</p>

<p>Is anyone else feeling a bit anxious whenever you open your email?</p>

<p>looking at when decisions came last year, i have a hunch we will find out this friday around 5ish.</p>

<p>i guess im in the same boat as many of you: rejected at yale and still waiting for harvard and williams. i am REALLY REALLY hoping for amazing luck, which i think i am overdue.</p>

<p>Good luck tomahwak518! best wishes on this end!</p>

<p>What is the chance we will find out tomorrow @ 5 PM?</p>

<p>what makes you think so? because they took application status offline this evening?</p>

<p>right ... ace586 on this thread mentioned that it could be May 16th for that reason</p>
