<p>Does Harvard send applicants anything after they receive all the needed materials? If so, does anyone have any idea around what date?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.</p>
<p>yep, 2-3 weeks after you send in your materials they send you a letter in the mail with a PIN so you can check if your materials have been recieved online</p>
<p>for shaganov -- have you received that yet? i have not received that yet.</p>
<p>nope. waiting for it any time now.</p>
<p>i haven't gotten mine yet either, but i think they send them to our home addresses, which makes little to no sense</p>
<p>my home address an my mailing address are the same, since i support myself and still nothing. the web site says that they start looking through them as soon as possible after the deadline/</p>
<p>do you think it's the same committee that does transfer and freshman applications? If so, I'm sure they're still dealing with frosh</p>
<p>I believe it is separate...</p>
<p>actually, i called last week to see if they'd gotten my materials. and the lady i spoke with told me that they had received a record number of applications sent on the date of the deadline (aka last minute!), so i got the impression that they were a bit swamped.</p>
<p>thats when I and Shaganov sent ours :)</p>
<p>so a record number on that day or a record number altogether?</p>
<p>oh please god not a record number all together....</p>
<p>Oh geez, the drama.</p>
<p>Whatever happens, happens; worrying will not increase your chances.</p>
<p>This reminds me of a golf player following the ball all the way to the hole, hoping that his last minute stomping will somehow inch it into the abyss.</p>
<p>I know its pathetic but I can't help it. I am in something like a permanent state of delirium...</p>
<p>I got an email from them yesterday saying they've sent me a confirmation letter, but the address couldn't be readhed, so the letter was returned to them. I sent my application in January, though.</p>
<p>A lot of universities are still struggling to cope with freshmen applications. Give it another week or two before pestering the admissions offices!</p>
<p>for shaganov - she only referenced the number sent out on the date, so no worries :)</p>
<p>i guess the 25 dollars to overnight it with DHL was money well spent. lol. looks like they do it every year too.</p>
<p>Harvard's confirmation should come any time now and before March 15 - that's how it was last year.</p>
<p>Since when did nspeds become the voice of consideration and equanimity? </p>
<p>Ha.</p>
<p>Lisa: Thanks a lot everybody, now I'll never get into Harvard!
Bart: Lisa's going so Stanford, Lisa's going to Stanford!
Homer: You're going to Stanford!
Lisa: Take it back! Take it back!
Homer: Stanford!</p>
<p>Burns- Smithers, send for the boys at Yale admissions.
Burns- Well, did you meet Larry?
Yale admissions man- Oh yes, he made light of my weight problem then suggested my motto should be "semper fudge". At that point, he told me to "relax".
Burns- How were his test scores?
Yale admissions woman- Let's just say this, he spelled Yale with a six.
Burns- I see well I....oh you know I just remembered it's time for my annual donation. I wonder how much I should give.
Yale admissions man- Well frankly, test scores like Larry's would call for a very generous contribution. For example, a score of 400 would require a donation of new football uniforms, 300: a new dormitory. And in Larry's case we would need an international airport.
Yale admissions woman- Yale could use an international airport Mr. Burns.
Burns- Are you mad?! I'm not made of airports! Get out!</p>
<p>Hoover: And the lowest grade in the class ...
Ralph: She's going to say my name!
Hover: Lisa Simpson, zero!
Skinner: Lisa, the president of Harvard would like to see you.
Pres.: Nasty business, that zero. Naturally, Harvard's doors are now closed to you, but I'll pass your file along to ... Brown.
Skinner: Mmmm, Brown. Heckuva school. Weren't you at Brown, Otto?
Otto: Yup. Almost got tenure, too.
Lisa: [gasps in horror] No, not Brown, Brown..
-end dream-
Lisa: ...Brown, Brown..
Miss Hoover: Lisa, you're saying Brown an awful lot, are you okay?</p>
<p>That is just absolutely, brilliant.</p>
