<p>How many of you are waitlist?</p>
<p>Does anybody know how many people were waitlisted last year? How many of them were accepted in late May/early June?</p>
<p>How much money do I need to pay Harvard to remain on the waitlist?</p>
<p>81 were accepted last year I believe. you don't pay a thing to them. 700-1000 waitlisted, 2/3 remain active. decisions usually by may 31, certainly by the end of june.</p>
<p>really? i thought you have pay deposit to be on waitlist.</p>
<p>Where did it say 81?</p>
<p>A ton of us are waitlist. Harvard waitlisted everyone and their dog. But we should count our blessings...so many people, including my genius legacy friend, got denied...</p>
<p>I think I read 81 in a Crimson article.</p>
<p>The US News on-line premium college edition says 81 were accepted from the waitlist.</p>
<p>That was for the Class of 2008. For the Class of 2009, I believe the number was 28.</p>
<p>oh...great...I know that I'm going to stay on the wait list, but man...the chances don't look so great...I'd love to go to Harvard, but if not, I am definitely happy with Dartmouth and UPenn!</p>
<p>Do we have to do something really amazing like win a major award or go to nationals for a sport to get unwaitlisted? Or is unwaitlisting ppl just based on college's own preference?</p>

same question here?</p>
<p>The waitlist is not ranked.</p>
<p>Those selected from it, as likely as not, will reflect the demographics, EC interests, etc. of those "lost" - as each person initially selected is seen as a unique part of the class Harvard hopes to construct.</p>
<p>Can we still send in more info or can people call?</p>
<p>So, wait, I'm waitlisted as well, but I really don't know how the waitlist works.</p>
<p>Do we still accept an offer from another college on May 1 and just wait for Harvard in the meantime?</p>
<p>Harvard did not admit 81 kids off of the waitlist last year. Harvard admitted 15 kids into the Class of 2010 off of the waitlist, and then offered a few more dozen a spot in the Class of 2011. It all depends on the yield. You won't hear anything until May, but I would go for it and you don't have to pay anything.</p>
<p>anybody know how many or what percentage of applicants Harvard waitlisted this year?</p>
<p>In my area, there were 20 Harvard applicants. One was accepted regular. 3 were waitlisted. None were accepted EA. I have no clue how other areas fared.</p>
<p>You know what they're telling us?</p>
<p>"you're good, but not good enough." They accept what, 2500 kids? We're the other 1000 kids that were almost, but not quite...</p>
<p>I'm happy. It's a rejection with a smile. Thanks Harv!</p>
<p>the way i think of it is we want you but not bad enough...i accept that because i am a white generic biology major with no hooks, i'm a dime a dozen</p>
