@noanswers No, she said she hasn’t even started and forgot. So she is doing it today. Hopefully, it doesn’t turn out bad.
@Tobster18 Lol if she forgot about you that’s not a good sign!
Does anyone else have this ‘Academic Work’ document submitted? Is it my third recommendation? I never uploaded anything, and submitted my application with the supplement about two weeks ago–academic work says it was uploaded the morning of Oct. 31st (while I was sleeping).
@Noahdutch No, not sure what that may be. Additional recs don’t appear on the portal and your transcript is titled “secondary school transcript.” could be something else but not sure at all what it may be.
@VeritasFicta I agree, really pissed off right now.
For Harvard SCEA I sent in a research paper through portal, and also a vocal supplement through SlideRoom. Was it too much? Also, I submitted it trough Harvard portal today because I didn’t know we could do send a research supplement. Will it be considered for early?
Finally got into the portal. 
Hello all 
I’m from Dallas Texas and I recently submitted my application to Harvard for the early action pool. I logged into the application portal and it says that have only received my test scores and my application fee, and it shows an “x” by my application ,transcript, and teacher recs, when all of these have been turned in. Is this because everything is still processing? I submitted on the 31st, so I’m not sure what’s going on.
I have the same thing, @colorfulhuman . It’s probably because, as they say on their webpage, that they haven’t fully processed everything and put it on your file yet. They also say there is no penalty either.
What’s done is done.
Well, this is what Harvard says (emphasis mine):
My opinion: if they are leaning towards rejection/waitlist, they will not forward the materials on for evaluation. If they are leaning toward acceptance, they will.
Has anyone living in the Sacramento alumni club been contacted for an interview? I submitted on 10/15 and have yet to be contacted.
@chozley I am from Dallas as well. My interview is this Saturday; is yours this Saturday as well?
Never mind, it was my interviewer’s letter–for anyone wondering about that in the future.
@Noahdutch Same… I really really really hope to get accepted, though. Would be a dream come true (same goes for Stanford, Princeton, MIT et cetera).
@jswani So true!!! After years of hard work, the decision is only approximately one month away. It’s so crazy!
If some people here and I are fortunate enough to get accepted, it’d be fun to have a little meetup on campus with the people who have been actively posting on and/or reading this forum haha.
Good luck to everyone <3
@me2022, I am in Modesto. My S applied 10-15 also and has not been contacted yet. Good luck to you.
Hi everyone,
As most of us are, I am an applicant. I’d just like to say that, while we are ALL anxious for what’s to come next month, we should never allow ourselves to cheapen self-value to whether or not we get into a certain college. Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school three times! Oprah was told she’d never make it on television!
Yes, I concede that attending Harvard can - if you use the opportunity correctly - open many doors for you. But if you want to be successful, there’s no magic institution you can attend to do that for you. Success comes from within.
So we can all waste the next month biting our fingernails awaiting this decision or we can live and enjoy our lives and prove to ourselves that success is not quantified by a college acceptance letter. Your aspirations should not stop at getting into Harvard. Think bigger and know that you can achieve anything if you believe.
@Melanie2018 Im from Dallas as well, and my interview is this Saturday
@me2022 also from cali and submitted more than a week ago, still no interview contact
I’m from Cali!
@Melanie2018 Yea mine is at 12:00 this saturday maybe I will see you then also @colorfulhuman
