<p>^^ very good point. And, we're competing among students who are already acknowledged to be academically qualified for H.</p>
<p>I am very nervous, regardless of the numbers. I am confused on when they are actually released though. I'd like to think that the Dean's statement was in reference to the end of the process (i.e., by june, ppl will be happy). I can't see them getting the acceptances out by tomorrow, if it is true that the committee is "officially" starting it's meetings tomorrow. Thoughts?</p>
<p>how likely is it do get off if I sent no letter, no emails. It said they didnt want anything else, so I didnt send anything. Does this mean I won't get off at all.</p>
<p>If your stats match what they want, they won't refuse to admit you because you didn't send anything.</p>
<p>^^ they don't really care about whether you sent anything in.</p>
<p>And what if the head of an academic department wrote a letter to H Admissions on your behalf since you were notified of being placed on the waiting list?</p>
<p>What if you sent in a briefcase with 10 million Euros?</p>
<p>haha euros
i think ten gallons of gas will do fine</p>
<p>Just called. They're deliberating right now!</p>
<p>ahhhhh so nervewracking. did they tell you when they would start making calls??</p>
<p>My son is on the waitlist and he's not optimistic or hopeful at all. But I am! He turned down Dartmouth to go to Penn State's Honors College, but he'll go to Harvard if admitted. I also called the admissions office to make sure he was confirmed on the waitlist and the woman who I spoke to was very nice.</p>

<p>the admissions office said theyd call by sometime in june if admitted</p>
<p>ahh the wait continues.</p>

so they would send a minimum of 150-200 in the next couple of days, which is in line with The Crimson article.

<p>Hmm. Can anyone provide more information?</p>
<p>^ that would make sense logically. But then again, Harvard thought the yield was gonna be 85%...</p>
<p>Drnoeyedea, I'm not sure that there is any correlation between predicting yield correctly and reporting the amount of students they are going to take off of the Waitlist accurately. Yield is not entirely in their hands; the number of students they offer admission off of the Waitlist is.</p>
<p>I'm on the Waitlist, also.</p>
<p>Aristo:
I read that they plan to do most of waitlist admissions by the end of May (on a somewhat rolling basis) and to finalize the process by mid-July. </p>
<p>My understanding is if they have, say, 200 spots, they will make enough offers to fill all of them or at least 190+ within the next two weeks. Usually they call to confirm interest before making an offer, and then one gets ~ 10 days to decide (and review financial package). By early June they may still have a few spots for another round. Plus a few more from RD class kids who got into other schools from waitlist. So there will be some activity in June. After that there will be almost no activity. But because most kids gradually abandon the waitlist (either because they are sick and tired of waiting or because they get off waitlists at other YPSMC), in July, couple spots may translate into more than 10 offers. There is no end to the process - even once the class is full, someone can always drop out. But at some point adcoms decide that couple leftover spots are not worth the effort of returning to the waitlist (unless they still need a harpist or a kid from Montana). Then they will notify everyone that waitlist ganme is over.</p>
<p>So people have or have not heard yet? I cannot seem to find a definitive answer.</p>
<p>the Crimson article says that they've only begun deliberations today, so whoever says they've gotten accepted already is lying!</p>
<p>In previous years, they've also extended offers to a select group to join the next year's class. This is dubbed the "z-list," and it'll be interesting to see how many are offered a spot in the class of 2013 this year.</p>
