<p>Adam, sorry I didn't see your post at the top of this page. Yeah I'm about to submit this week but I couldn't finish the work I had this weekend cuz of the Presidential Scholars application. I'll actually be hopefully towards the front of the authors list because I'm contributing more than I initially thought. I thought that my mentor submitted a lot of this really cool stuff I did to another publication but I just found out he didn't. Nature is uber competitive though (for all of you not in the science world, Nature is the Harvard of publication, while Science is the MIT ;)), so there's no guarantee. If anything, there's a guarantee of rejection. Besides, this is going to take forever to review.</p>
<p>hahahaha yeah, that's actually more music to my ears than offensive. But Harvard's rejected Intel finalists last year and in other years, no?</p>
<p>And yeah, it's true, over half of the Siemens national finalists this year were deferred. Personally, I'm curious to see how the group fares RD. Either way, though, I'm hard-pressed to think of a national finalist who hasn't been accepted to an amazing school yet, so whatever. lol it's working out for everyone, apparently.</p>
<p>EDIT: Didn't see the post right above this. That is amazing to the infinity, lol. So, so, so cool :D I'm jealous....lol can you have your mentor put me somewhere on the author list? :p By the way, if you can PM me briefly, I'm curious...what the paper is about, how it's significant, what you contributed to it, and what your project in particular was.</p>
<p>well youve already been accepted to a great school...2 months before hand.</p>
<p>hehe yeah, that´s why I said pretty much all of us have been accepted somewhere amazing (5 out of the 6 individuals, and I know that will change soon as the 6th didn´t apply anywhere early!).</p>
<p>No, the official reply date is March 29, not March 31.</p>
<p>Really? The Crimson said March 30.</p>
<p>Wouldn't this be somewhere on the admissions site? Regardless, I think we can all agree that the exact date, varying by a day or two, makes no difference to us now, but will cause us all a lot of agony and strife on March 29 when you realize the date is actually, contrary to your expectations, a day or two later.</p>
<p>dont all of the Ivies come out on March 30th?</p>
<p>yea that's what I thought.</p>
<p>Notifications will be mailed at 12:01 AM and e-mailed at 5:00 PM on March 30th.</p>
<p>What does "mailed at 12:01 AM" mean? The post office would be closed...</p>
<p>Do they just mean put it in the mail box? lol that must be one big mailbox.</p>
<p>It's Harvard. I think the post office would open for them. :p</p>
<p>hey guys. Tomorrow is officially March 1. Let the countdown begin. It's only what ...thirty days...not that much. I'm already freaking out. hahhaha. I keep mentioning it but everyone else says that it's far away in the future...excuse me....no it's NOT!!! Ahhh.....Have a fun rest of the week.</p>
<p>I know this is way too late but I found this post now and I joined this forum recently.

<p>kokoda2: As an Indian would phrase it,(I am not an Indian) it is all fate. At Harvard, the theory of uncertainty still dominates. During the next thirty years, you will see schools like Stanford doing much better. I hope you have your application at Stanford, and you willd definitely make it there. At places like Stanford, education and grades still are the first call.</p>
