Notification Date!

Colleges and Universities A-Z Harvard University
1

<p>This is a quote from an article in the Harvard Monthly this month. I thought that April 1st was the Ivy notification day??</p>

<p>"Notification letters to all applicants will be mailed on March 30, and emails will be sent later that day to the 92 percent who have requested electronic notification.</p>

<p>Admitted students will be invited to visit Cambridge from April 16 to 18 for a comprehensive introduction to life at Harvard. They will have until May 1 to make their final college choices."</p>

<p>Harvard email said notification is by email on March 30 after 5 pm eastern.</p>

3

<p>All ivies are March 30th this year - last year was the 1st of April</p>

4

<p>The day changes, but all the Ivies release decisions on the same day, so yes, this year it’s March 30</p>

5

<p>2 days earlier than last year! With the increased applicant pool, it makes you wonder how much less time admission officers are actually spending on your app…</p>

6

<p>Or they hired more people?</p>

7

<p>“…With the increased applicant pool, it makes you wonder how much less time admission officers are actually spending on your app…”</p>

<p>That truly begs a more universal question: What did you do beyond the requirements that will allow Harvard (or whatever school you applied to) to spend more time on your app?</p>

<p>ahhhhhhh, this totally screws up my count down til april 1st!!! grrrrrrrrrr…</p>

9

<p>^LOL I made a countdown as well.</p>

10

<p>^me three. lol :smiley: 66days 6 hours…</p>

11

<p>Well, there’s always the potential for, y’know, April 1st shenanigans. Better play it safe?</p>

<p>Interestingly enough, Emory Scholars finalists have on-campus interviews the March 23-26. That cannot be a coincidence.</p>

12

<p>Hmm. Are other private schools still gonna be April 1? Does it vary? Or will most schools now give decisions March 30th?</p>

<p>That’s only 2 months and 1 week away!</p>

13

<p>haha I’m one of the 8% who did not want an e-mail</p>

14

<p>@RainbowSprinkles, why? Dontcha know you’ll receive the letter a few days after they would send the email? Why would you put yourself through additional days of suspense? </p>

<p>Just wondering. :)</p>

15

<p>There is no suspense for me. I know I’ll be rejected haha
Plus, it’s much more fun to open up a letter than clicking on an e-mail. I think it’s worth the wait!</p>

<p>Anyone else here didn’t request an e-mail?</p>

16

<p>^ i considered waiting for the letter. but by the time march comes around, i don’t think i’d be able to wait any longer. :P</p>

17

<p>I did not request an email. Just seems classier and old school to wait for the envelope!</p>

18

<p>Wait where is this requesting email/letter thing? Is this done within your applicant account?</p>

19

<p>It was in the supplement</p>

<p>@loveneweng, high five! I completely agree. Opening up a letter with your hands is so much better than clicking on an e-mail.</p>

<p>@iceberg, on the supplement, you had a choice between receiving or no receiving an e-mail (all applicants are sent letters, though)</p>

<p>Does anyone know if the subject of the e-mail shows the decision? That would be so intense.</p>
