Harvard University Class of 2022 RD Thread

Does anybody know the Harvard admissions email address to send an important update??

Thanks!

international students still waiting here. @emmajay

Still waiting too.

Is there anyone who got searched on LinkedIn by Harvard?

Damn! waiting is so hard.

42000+, what are the odds

Well, what ever happens

Those who had interviews, at what time of the day did you receive your interview notification? I want to know when to check my email, lol

You get an email notification/invitation from your interviewer (not Harvard) so the time that you receive such email would really depend on the interviewer.

@grundeis I think you upload updates/other documents through the portal. If you scroll to the bottom there should be an option!

Thanks @MaybeHarvard2022 and @applicant1313 ! I did not know that Harvard had a policy of doing selective interviews for their applicant (well, at least, they claim they don’t).

I am just going to try not to think about this until decision day, qui vivra verra as the French say.

@TeddyAzzz With close to 41K applicants in the regular pool (RD + SCEA deferred), the regular round acceptance rate would be between 2.4 to 2.6%, assuming a yield rate of 80 to 85% this year.

Question: my GC wants to send a letter to Harvard saying I got accepted into Berklee and that I plan on doing the dual degree program. I got deferred EA btw. Not sure how she is going to structure the letter but I got the gist that she is going to write that I am very passionate about this dual degree, I can’t go to Berklee alone because although I got a $21, 000 scholarship it is still too expensive, etc.
I have mixed feelings about this…
I doubt a letter would move my app from the reject pile to accept pile and vice versa but opinions?

You would be correct.

Again, it would not move the application from one pile to another, but you should communicate that, not her.

Which means asking Harvard not only for acceptance but also for much more money, because you are so passionate about a program in Berkelee that most likely not offered in Harvard?

@morusa its not that they have selective interviews, just I’ve heard that at the end of their interview cycle they sometimes push those they’re considering to the top of the interview pile if they haven’t had one. I don’t know the validity, I’ve just read stories on this and other forums.

Does anybody else have an issue where their application states they submitted “Academic Work” when you haven’t submitted any supplementary materials? My application portal states I submitted Academic Work at 2 in the morning last night… which I did not. Now I’m just confused. I haven’t taken any dual enrollment classes (which I saw sometimes caused the issue in past years when colleges sent extra transcripts) or any other probable organization that would send files on my behalf.

Any ideas on what this could be?

I have that problem too. It showed up when I first got the portal. I have no idea what it could be

I know this is late - but I had my interview, and so did a couple of my friends. let me know if you have any more questions! @Momojan

@leathershirts I was contacted via email!
