holiday parties

just wondering if anyone received an invitation for harvard holiday parties? just wanted to know what it was about, how they generally go, etc. also making sure this is a legit invitation and not a scam! thanks in advance!

Are you an early admit, @cambellssoup? It would be very typical for the Harvard club in your area to host a holiday party and invite alumni, students, and new admits. You would have the opportunity to meet other students who were admitted as well as older students in your area who are in town (classes don’t start until late January). My children (Class of '17 and '20) were warmly welcomed at this party after they were accepted, and they enjoy attending every year. You might want to contact the host to ask what you should wear and what to expect.

You are also welcome to pm me if you have additional questions. There is also a parent thread on CC, which is a good place for these sorts of inquiries. One more resource: I believe a Parents’ FB page has been established for the Class of 2022 as well.
