<p>congratulations wsm! That is a decision requiring thought... but either way you decide, I think you'll be fine since both are great institutions :)</p>
<p>I really don't think they are done taking people off. The guy I talked to today made it sound like they are still making decisions, so I wouldn't worry.</p>
<p>APLinke, I hope you're right !</p>
<p>APLinke, did you call the admissions office today?</p>
<p>hi everyone, i was admitted off the waitlist last friday (i'm from illinois), and i'm wondering whether or not anyone else who has been admitted has received any other information (e-mail, mailings, etc) regarding how to register/confirm a spot??</p>

<p>Same here. Taking a gap year would be fun, especially with guaranteed admission to Harvard afterwards...</p>
<p>mj<3, i stopped by the admissions office this afternoon, and the guy i spoke with (who really didn't tell me anything) said that "the process is ongoing"</p>

wsm173 (MA)- ** ADMITTED 2013 “Z LIST”
xd32 - (Virginia) - ADMITTED</p>
<p>ivymom you are awesome!</p>
<p>wsm, harvard usually z-lists applicants intending the extra year off to help them become more "academically or psychologically mature." Was your high school record short of stellar? Did you have disciplinary issues? Are you a recruited athlete? I'm just trying to figure out why you were z-listed. I'm eager to know if there was a specific reason or whether it is because Harvard is simply out of spots for this year.</p>
<p>I'm not sure I understand the "z list", but I do know that when my son received his admittance package (RD) there was a spot on the form to check off if he was interested in postponing his acceptance for 1 year. At one of the admitted student receptions that we attended last month there was a student who had decided to wait a year and take a year to travel and relax after high school. It sounded strange to me, but I heard from the mom of this boy that this is normal for Harvard to do. I do not know if there is some kind of criteria that a student needs to meet before doing this. Anyway, I thought I pass this on.</p>
<p>guitars101 i think you are referring to a voluntary gap year, which is different from the z-list. The z-list means that the applicant will be forced to take a year off to "develop" and matriculate the following year.</p>
<p>ahh, I see. Thanks gadli. </p>
<p>my son has decided to start in the fall and not take the year off :)</p>
