<p>utoyxc: no e-mails. If you're in, you get called. If not, you'll receive a letter late June? </p>
<p>Well the deadline is May 1st - but I think they give some leeway. And at least for Wharton - I have to say w/in 5 days if I want in or not. W/in 5 days of receiving the mail, methinks.</p>
<p>hmmm...so yale went to their wait list. not sure how many kids that they are accepting from it, but my friend just got a call. it gave me hope for harvard's waiting list at first, but maybe it means that the harvard/yale cross-admits chose harvard and there is actually less hope???</p>
<p>I haven't seen an article yet on the Class of 2011 yield (which should be out later this week), but in today's The Harvard Crimson, there is an article on the year gap matriculants and the "Z-List" if anyone wants to read it. Here's the link to the article:</p>
<p>so has anybody gotten in from the waitlist for harvard yet? and does anybody know how many students harvard intends to accept off the waitlist this year?</p>
<p>previously on the thread someone mentioned 30. but again, it's a very rough estimate.</p>
<p>on behalf of a friend:</p>
<p>if they call your school and ask for your progress report, is that (assuming the progress report is good) a good sign?</p>
<p>that is a very good sign. :)</p>
<p>'twas propitious indeed :-D</p>
<p>Really? Did your friend get in off the waitlist?</p>
<p>i have a friend who got off the waitlist today.</p>
<p>Hi, it's my first point. I've been looking around this site for a while, and I just want to wish everyone here luck. I applied ED to Harvard last fall and was deferred to RD.
Sometime after that, I was called for a second interview and sent in an extra essay and a letter to the admissions office. When decisions came around I found out I was waitlisted.
For the past month or so, I've been planning out my freshman year at Muir College at UC San Diego. Today (at around 2:35 PST), my regional admissions officer called me from Cambridge and told me that I got off the waiting list.
I don't know what I'm feeling right now. Shock. Disbelief. I'm from a mediocre public school on the coast of Northern California, first-generation college student, asian, male.
I have no idea what influenced their decision, but know that there's hope for you all yet. I'll be crossing my fingers for all of you!</p>
<p>wow....CONGRATS SIMIANANTITHESIS!!!!!!</p>
<p>Sim - Wow, wow and wow!!! Would have had to call the paramedics! </p>
<p>Enjoy this feeling! (Walking on air?) And we will all be able to say, "We knew you when..." </p>
<p>Go get 'em, Tiger!</p>
<p>io--philly t right? is he going?</p>
<p>he said he's going to find out about finaid tomorrow. he'd rather go to MIT, but if harvard cuts him a deal he can't refuse, he'll go to harvard.</p>
<p>gotcha. hm. he seems more MIT to me. just an opinion.</p>
<p>yeah, he said that he feels like more of an MIT person, too. i hope whatever harvard says is definitive: either crap aid or a full ride. i had to choose between money (full ride at caltech) and happiness (i hated caltech and loved mit), and it sucked majorly.</p>
<p>oh man money's always better than happiness. sure money can buy happiness, but can happiness ever truly buy money?</p>
<p>i'm gonna get off this thread before i get any more off topic. peace</p>
<p>why'd you hate take caltech. I'd have taken the full ride in an instant. Probably cuz i'm a frikking pauper.</p>
<p>blendecho, iiostream, phillyt, how do you know eachother? Same high school? Eastern Mass public? Which school?</p>
