<p>Do you know how much time we have to accept if we get admitted from wait list? For example, we get a call asking “are you interested in accepting” - what is the timeline/ process from then on?</p>
<p>What I’ve heard the time ranges all from deciding on the spot to 10 days.</p>
<p>That would be horrible if you had to decide on the spot.</p>
<p>I just turned down Harvard’s waitlist. You all now have higher chances! Lol.</p>
<p>So, do we find out about the yield tomorrow or is that also May 8th? if anyone has anymore info on the yield let us know.</p>
<p>hey reptil, do you think that when they said they will be notifying students as early as may 8th that they will actually give some ppl a call or will they just reconvene. </p>
<p>i know i asked this question already however, the wording is soo ambiguous.</p>
<p>Last year people were apparently accepted off the waiting list before the council “reconvened,” so the regional representatives may be working on some cases and are allowed to accept some? Failing this, the first friday after May 1 (in this case May 8) is the earliest we can expect to start hearing good news from cc-ers.</p>
<p>Anyone’s guidance counselors heard anything? Mine sent a letter but hasn’t heard back.</p>
<p>I believe they have already reconvened. I mean they can start by selecting their top candidates and move on, as to save time for later in the waitlist limbo process.</p>
<p>And while it is hard to say wether the Fitz’s predictions about May 8 will be correct I do believe that they initially meant that waitlistees will be notified about acceptances by May 8 and not that they will reconvene on that date. I thought the wording was clear, but that’s my opinion.</p>
<p>haha well the harvard 2012 facebook group has about 1430 people, and the 2013 facebook group has 1210 people… not that this is indicative of anything… this isn’t healthy…</p>
<p>yeah, but they also told me the deadline to send updates will be may 8th. so why would they make that a deadline when they’ve already started? idk. but attenuation I completely agree with you this isnt healthy at all! but Harvard barely leaks any information which makes it so hard to know when anything is gonna happen. & i guess i liked keeping up with all the info. but i think im gonna have to quit until may 8th. i just dont want to be on this site until early july like some of the kids on the 2012 waitlist thread. yennoe? i just want it over with.</p>
<p>ditto, especially when i’m still happy going to the college i sent in my deposit at.
and i dont know if i’ll get in bc my third quarter grades went down. i’ve heard that that doesn’t matter if they really want you, but if they don’t they can USE that as a reason to reject you. does that make sense? haha</p>
<p>You mean for Harvard right? yeah i think it does matter, but i’m sure if they need you for a quota or something they will probably still take you. So where are you gonna go? everyone else has other Ivy league schools, but my second school is University of California Berkeley. its a great school, its just not an Ivy.</p>
<p>as a waitlistee, what updates exactly would help me?</p>
<p>any national or state awards, any important activities… i guess… I already sent in my update anyway.</p>
<p>How would one send an update? For example, I just won an award for community service. Do I just send an e-mail saying, “I won such and such award”? How does it work?</p>
<p>aguynameded: Oh man, you’re going to Yale and you still want to get off the Harvard waitlist? WHY? Haha.</p>
<p>I think you could do that, or you can write a more formal letter (if you have other updates… i think it’d be pointless to write a two-line letter with only one award on it. i doubt harvard will care… ).</p>

</p>
<p>im sure they wont care, i was just hoping it might show…idk that i am still doing things? I don’t know i’m not really sweating it for obvious reasons</p>
<p>Hoping for Harvard, why on Earth would they start their waitlistee picking process if they will send acceptance letters to waitlistees as early as May 8?</p>
<p>“Wait-listed students will start hearing from the admissions office as early as May 8th.”</p>
<p>And it’s now May 5th. :D</p>
<p>Yes it is!</p>
<p>And we’re still waiting with our fingers crossed as we move closer to Friday! :D</p>
