<p>Kudos to you, Philly mom. There's something to be said about a parent's perspective :)</p>
<p>Congratulations to you Philly Mom. You are a great role model to your son and evidence that the college experience (and successes beyond) are primarily what you make of it, no matter what undergraduate or graduate program you attend.</p>
<p>no calls so far, again! hello harvard! is anyone home? i'm starting to that you're accepting a few real kids and a ton of imaginary children. so confused</p>
<p>I just got in, they called and said for everybody else who's waitlisted to just remember that the meetings are ongoing? Good luck everybody</p>
<p>Wow, congratulations Molly!</p>
<p>awesome!! congrats!</p>
<p>i called harvard today. </p>
<p>Me: I was wondering how far Harvard is in the process of admitting waitlisted applicants, as in how many Harvard has admitted from the waitlist so far.</p>
<p>Harv guy: hem... umm... hem... let me ask.... (he seemed like a current student)... [pause]... um, I do not have that kind of information.</p>
<p>me: well, then, can you give me a numerical figure of how many people are on the wait list?</p>
<p>Harv guy: no, I can't.</p>
<p>me: [pause]... oh... well... have a good day then....</p>
<p>Molly, Congratulations! Can you please advise what part of the country you are from and how many in your school accepted?</p>
<p>Wow, Molly! I just saw that you were the one (from central New York) who received a phone call yesterday asking if you were still interested. I'm so happy they called you back with an offer!!!! Congrats, again!</p>
<p>Hello everyone - I received a call around 3:30 from a woman from Harvard letting me know that yesterday the committee reviewed my application and voted to offer me admission! I can't even begin to tell you how ecstatic I am - I will be attending without question. My mom, whose account on here is Believer8, has been SO wonderfully supportive and loving throughout this process.</p>
<p>I realize everyone is frantically seeking details, as was I just hours ago - but the phone call was very, very simple. She told me what I've already mentioned above, and said much more information would arrive in the mail Monday or Tuesday, but "probably Tuesday." She said congratulations and expressed that she was happy for me and thrilled that I planned to attend. I won't reveal exact figures, but I'll tell you this much: my SAT scores, while still solid, were SIGNIFICANTLY lower than those of many of the people who post on this forum, so to everyone who remains on the waiting list: KEEP YOUR HOPES ALIVE. I did not receive any facts/figures, any dates, anything like that - but I wish you all the BEST of luck in everything you do, whether at Harvard or elsewhere.</p>
<p>A few more things: I sent in April a letter expressing why I chose to remain on the waiting list. She mentioned this when she called, saying something like "I read your letter; it was wonderful and I shared it with the rest of the committee." I also think my major is a bit more uncommon - I expressed throughout my application that I plan to major in Spanish and (probably) Secondary Education. This may have separated me from the pack slightly. Also, I am from southeastern Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>But of course, this doesn't mean a letter or plans to major in Spanish is/are necessary to get off the waiting list... you are all brilliant in your own ways, and there is a unique plan for each of us!</p>
<p>I'm still quite new to this forum but have enjoyed speculating with such a diverse bunch of talented people... best of luck to everyone! I may check back periodically to see how everyone is doing / how many more people get in - but I have a feeling my Mom will continue to check hourly. She's become a pretty avid fan of this forum!</p>
<p>If anyone has any further questions, feel free to ask!</p>
<p>Happy Friday, and thanks for everyone's energy and support!</p>
<p>Congratulations to the both of you! Well-earned - even if you had low SAT scores - indeed.</p>
<p>Still holding out hope,
--b</p>
<p>And congratulations to you, Molly! From me and my Mom - she's sitting right here!</p>
<p>yayy congrats! at least we know the calls are still being made. it seems like they're doing the northeast/midatlantic now, although that could just be coincidence. just curious...anyone else from NC?</p>
<p>could we update our app still?</p>

<p>Have they gotten to the Southeast yet? And is it advisable to contact the regional admissions representative to see if s/he got our updates? Would it be okay to ask him/her questions about the waitlist process? I dont want to mess up...</p>
<p>bjdm 08 and believer8:
I'm so happy for you both, that is wonderful news!
bjdm, that was a lovely post you wrote, you sound like a wonderful and deserving person.
I'm sure you will have a great celebratory weekend!</p>
<p>Congratulations to bjdm08 and MollyO252! People are finally getting off the list. Contrary to our expectations, it does appear that it'll be a slow and drawn-out process.</p>
<p>bjdm08 -- which high school are you graduating from?</p>
<p>Congratulations to the two who got in ! For the rest of us... let's keep our hopes up : )</p>
