Harvard Wait list

<p>dunno, iengk...but i don't think they've sent more than one wave of rejections...undesputed lives on an island in the pacific so i'm pretty sure it's still just the may 18 letters.</p>

<p>So.... someone from Harvard called my GC asking for my final grades. Has this happened to anyone/everyone else still on the waiting list? And is this a good sign, perhaps?</p>

<p>Though, truthfully, it only made me worried. My second semester grades definitely dropped... not a lot, but like, final grades in classes may've gone from As to A-'s (nothing below a B+ as a final grade, definitely). Is that going to be looked at poorly by Harvard, or do they definitely realize that EVERYONE works a little less hard second semester senior year?</p>

<p>oh my god</p>

<p>i had like</p>

<p>Cs...</p>

<p>hahah sphairistic, I don't want to freak you, but I would be prepared to get a call as early as tomorrow about a possible offer of admission. Last June, I was at prom, and while I was, they called my CC office for grades, and the next morning they called me.</p>

<p>^uhh how could that freak sph.? that's GOOD!!!</p>

<p>Ahhh man, really?! I figured it was just a routine thing.. and also, my final grades aren't finished by my teachers yet (classes just ended last friday), so my GC wasn't gonna have them ready to give to Harvard until tomorrow, which means at least a few days of waiting, probably..</p>

<p>Though, is going from straight As to A-/B+'s really not going to kill me? I got really worried when I heard they wanted final grades.. figured those wouldn't end up mattering for anything.</p>

<p>I got a B for the year in an AP Class and it was the worst grade I had gotten in HS for the year, and I was admitted. I thought I was done after the B, but apparently not. What a miracle.</p>

<p>well I wouldn't say that it's definite grounds for admission, but it doesn't hurt.</p>

<p>Just checking in. Has anyone still on the waitlist recently been contacted by the admissions office for either the Class of 2011 or Z-List (2012)?</p>

<p>I got an email today asking me to fax my final grade report once it is available. It also said: </p>

<p>"The Admissions Committee will review your candidacy as a Waitlisted candidate once they are in our possession. "</p>

<p>Who was your email from? Harvard College on Behalf of Harvard College?</p>

<p>good luck...this may work out for you</p>

<p>B4nnd20,
My email came from a senior admissions officer at Harvard.</p>

<p>okay thanks, good luck by the way</p>

<p>Mmm, I got the request for final grades through my GC, and she got my grades into them yesterday, though I haven't heard anything more from Harvard yet.</p>

<p>Hey b4nnd20, were you ever able to talk to your GC to inquire how many people are still on the waitllist?</p>

<p>yeah, dunno that info, they are accepting 25</p>

<p>All I really want is closure, though. I want to move on from being in this sort of limbo.</p>

<p>I need closure, too. >.<</p>

<p>they've started taking people off the waitlist already. Two people at my school were waitlisted, and both were taken off on Friday</p>
