<p>Help me understand why admitting someone to next year's class helps the current situation at all? Why do they do that?</p>
<p>Congrats by the way!!! There are so any wonderful things to do with a gap year!</p>
<p>wsm: so you were informed that you actually need to decide within the week that you'll take the spot? That's a very difficult decision...you could be well settled into your committed school and change your mind.</p>
<p>how does harvard already know it is full for this year?
I agree that perhaps it has to do with majors. well, I'm a bio major too. but hey, i'd be willing to wait a year. shoot, I'd be willling to change my major.</p>
<p>wsm: Oh sorry, missed the "except go to another school"</p>
<p>Sequoia,
Here's the link to the Crimson article I found on "Z list".</p>
<p>The</a> Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Veritas Has No 'Z'</p>
<p>WSM , congratulations!!
Just for the curiosity, Do you go to a private or public high school?</p>
<p>Congrats WSM! Are you a legacy?</p>
<p>Now I'm really wishing I decided to major in something non-science.</p>
<p>Approximately 20 z list students according to the article...
I can't see though that all students who were offered a spot have already made their decisions. Those who were admitted in the last days may not even have their packages yet, and then have another week to make a decision. So I doubt that they have the yield yet.</p>
<p>Has anyone spoken to the admissions office today/has new info or updates?</p>
<p>I actually went to the admissions office today! I was visiting a good friend on campus and decided to stop by the office since I was there. They weren't really helpful, but they said it's "an ongoing process," so nobody give up hope yet! They said they would contact me soon.</p>
<p>nope, i'm not a legacy, and i go to a private school about 25 min away from harvard. the woman who called me said that it was a rolling process and that they weren't done making decisions yet so there's still hope!</p>
<p>best of luck to the rest of you!</p>
<p>wsm713,
Congratulations! Whatever you decide, you have two excellent schools to choose from.
All the best!!!</p>

<p>I cannot believe it - no shower of calls today?! Maybe later in the evening?
Congrats wsm 173!</p>
<p>Similar question to JohnC613: If they're already admitting people to the z list, does that mean that they're done accepting wait-listees to the class of 2012???</p>
<p>Also, thanks IvyMom for keeping the list updated!! And, congrats wsm!</p>
<p>congrats wsm!! awesome schools either way too! (i had to give up dartmouth... :( really heart-breaking decision!!!)</p>
<p>and i hope not... but i have a feeling that they're done with the "first round," no matter how many times harvard claims that it is an "on-going process"</p>
<p>Congrats WSM, I'll be curious to see what you decide to do. I wouldn't want my son to have to make that decision, although, if it were me, I'd probably wait for Harvard.</p>
<p>Congrats to you wsm!</p>
<p>You are faced with a difficult decision.<br>
Weigh the pros & cons...
...You'll make the decision that's right for you! </p>
<p>Let us know what you decide.</p>
<p>Congrats wsm! That's so awesome! It's also good to hear that they're not completely done offering admission, so again, best of luck to everyone waitlisted. Let's cross our fingers for some calls tonight :)</p>
<p>BTW, congratulations to wsm, however, really wondering how come H has started z-list? Does that mean they have finished 2012 waiting list? Pls update me. Thanks!</p>
