Harvard University Class of 2023 SCEA Applicants

@indianhopeful24 the calendar they gave alumni interviewers says Dec 13 so could have changed–I doubt that they would tell us if it has changed, especially if they think they can get it all done a bit earlier but ultimately couldn’t.

Historically, using the dates provided by @bluewhale1217, they’ve been able to do it in 26-28 business days, so Tuesday is still in-line with history.

@hgrad2010 That calendar reflects the date given for financial aid as well except the financial aid award letter date is described as an approximate date. My guess is that is simply a not later than date. Coming out on Tuesday is line with historical release dates.

Does anyone know how many people applied early this year?

We won’t know that until they release the admissions data. My guess is ~7000.

@skieurope You apparently knew if you were accepted by whether the envelope was thick or thin

Thank you for the reply @hgrad2010

Yup.

Ok so should I open my decisions at the national honor society induction (quietly in the back) or wait until I get home??

@lillyfullford peronsally I would wait to get home but if you are fine with people hearing the result of the decision no matter what it is then open it during the induction!

does it release at 7pm?

so are we confident it will be released either tuesday or thursday next week?

This tuesday 12/11?!?! I thought it was supposed to be on the 15th!!

I’m not sure that’s why I was asking! Last year was released on the 12th

PRAYING it is Tuesday, can’t wait any longer

@Tapitennis last year it released at 7pm. they could release it at 5pm. we won’t know until the day of when they let us know of the decision date as well. however, that is just the standard time. I know some people whose emails came hours later though lol

but @nijusohc I don’t think it matters if you get an email, when they release the decision the update should already be on your account. I have seen people get decisions without an email.

@x2019x bruh idk all the specific deets lol. I mean, the email is just a notification for a status update so ur right, regardless of an email you can check your applicant portal to view the update. I’m just saying for some people I know, the update on the portal & the email didn’t come exactly at the said time lol

@yvonneL lmao ty for those links, I’m going to have a grand time reading the story times and ur right, we should all have a relaxed convo
someone start a story time (my life is too boring) LOL

@nijusohc lol, I mostly said it because so many people in previous threads thought you had to have the email.

@x2019x OHHH lol deff not the email is just a notification, the real deal is the applicant portal haha thanks for clarifying my post for others
