Harvard University Class of 2022 SCEA Applicants Thread

@ballin2022 really?? THANK YOU. I was concerned very because I read on the Harvard website that they preferred it to be sent through something called Parchment. I’ll still have her call just to make sure, but that’s relieving to hear. This whole process is making me paranoid lol.

If anyone from the subcontinent gets an interview can they let us know? Or if you hear of an interview here

does it take long for the interviewer report to show up in the “upload materials” section? i had my interview a few days ago and it isn’t there yet

On the Harvard application checklist, it says that for EA applicants, you need to keep up with them your most current set of grades.
Does anybody know how to let them know about your current grades?

@skieurope No, there just isn’t a RD thread up yet for Harvard. :frowning: Only applied early to Princeton.

It was not me that questioned whether you applied to both schools SCEA; it was another user. It was me however who previously said that you need your own account and not post under your mother’s. Aside from being a violation of Terms of Service, it confuses other users.

@skieurope is a slot for an interview evaluation supposed to show up in the applicant status portal?

And how do we update admissions with our most current set of grades? Through a guidance counselor?

Do first quarter grades get sent? My school runs on a semester system, and that doesn’t end until Mid December. Will admissions request first quarter grades/predicted grades? Or not (because of EA)?

^^ best thing to do would be to call admissions and ask imo.

I’ve stated multiple times, I contacted them and they said the interviewer letter appears under additional documents.

@Noahdutch and where is that in the applicant portal? I see no such thing.

This has been asked and answered multiple times on this thread. You do nothing - it’s your GC’s responsibility. Harvard does not officially request anything before the midyear report. Some HS’s will send out Q1 as a matter of policy, and that’s fine. If they want an update before then, they will ask the GC.

@Noahdutch yes, but does it appear after one has an interview or after it’s uploaded? As in, should I be able to see a slot that says “not uploaded”

I had my interview a week ago, and was told by my interviewer that his report would be submitted on Saturday. I do not see any indication on my portal that has submitted it, so I am just taking my interviewer’s word to be true and having faith that it was submitted. After all, he’s been an interviewer for 40 years, so this isn’t his first rodeo…

Agreed. Please do not try to read the tea leaves by analyzing the portal. When admissions updates it does not matter, since they are not doing these “extra” things for the applicant’s convenience. The people all know what to do. Just chill, please.

hi everyone!! applying RD but is it alright if I share my stats?

@dylanm47 Feel free, but you might get a better audience by doing a chance me thread within the Harvard forum.

I had my interview yesterday and apparently not wanting to be a Congressperson makes me “refreshing”? I can’t tell if that’s a good thing or if it’s a euphemism for “you won’t fit in at Harvard”.

It’s conversation. Read nothing else into the comment.

That’s the first quality video i’ve seen from then in a while. Made me like H even more lol.
