Harvard University Class of 2023 SCEA Applicants

And by this date, they mean October 15

Yes.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I did some digging around and still didnt find a definitive answer, but is the mid year report for EA applicants supposed to include 1st quarter rather than 1st semester? And it’s meant to be submitted after the deadline, i.e. once 1st quarter grades come out, right?

@zbrown01 I don’t know for sure but my understanding has been that the midyear report is submitted around February and should include whatever terms have final grades at that point.

Also, does anyone know how we go about getting additional transcripts to Harvard? I have my normal high school transcript, which my school is submitting via the Common App, but I also have a transcript at a local community college and at an online school, which Harvard admissions told me today should also be submitted. I’m trying to order the transcripts now via Parchment and was trying to submit them electronically, but I couldn’t find any email on Harvard’s website to send it to.

Does anyone know what email we should send transcripts to? And if we can’t submit it electronically and have to mail it in, is it okay if it arrives after the application deadline? It’s $40 to get just one transcript there by mail before November 1st and I’d really like to avoid that if possible.

The mid year report gets sent in February. They want your semester grades, but if the HS reports Q1 and Q2 separately, that’s fine too. They are not expecting the HS to change how it sets up its own transcripts.

They want them mailed or faxed. As per their website:

Yes, there is a grace period of a few days for items ou tof your control. Your part, though, needs to be sent on time.

@skieurope That makes sense. The application status page has the mid year report missing though even though it’s not due yet though, and it asks that EA applicants keep Harvard up to date on most current grades. Should my GC be sending first quarter grades once they come out?

Can’t hurt.

I have not been contacted yet

Does anyone know when decisions come out? Lol I know it’s a bit early to ask…

~ Dec. 14-16

Anyone know when I would get an email for interview? I just submitted my apps today. Thank you!

I submitted my app in early October and I haven’t received any contact about an interview. I’ve heard that it’s random.

I was contacted for an interview 5 days after I submitted my app.

Hey guys! I have a quick question. I just submitted my app a few days ago and got the confirmation email/access code to the portal. Do I have to self-report my standardized test scores again on the portal even though I self-reported them on the Common App? The email doesn’t really specify, so I am not sure.

Hi. Not very to meet you all. Just got my application out before the buzzer and received my alumni interview email next day. Efficient! Wishing you all good luck

Hi, has anyone here applying REA from India? If so, have you got an interview yet?

does anyone know what date the early application decisions will come out?

@nebellingham I don’t think they’ve announced anything yet except the generic “mid-December.” It looked like last year it was December 11th but I assume it varies somewhat by year based on the number of applications they receive. My friend who applied ED to UPenn said she thought the exact decision date was announced on December 1st so I assume around then we’ll know more.

Last year’s decision came out at 7PM EST on Dec 12, 2017. Harvard admissions typically give a heads up a week in advance.

Early Dec notifications are usually for Questbridge applicants., but Harvard does not participate in Questbridge.
