<p>Thanks @Hanna! </p>

22

<p>Ugh. And now comes the wait. Anyone know when decisions are usually released?</p>

23

<p>They say by June 1, but the past threads I’ve looked at showed decisions released in the first week or so of May </p>

24

<p>Well, looks like the uphill battle I faced beforehand has become near-vertical. I guess we’ll see!</p>

25

<p>Will Harvard email us about our application submission confirmation or something? And will they give us a login account to an online portal to check the status of our application materials?</p>

26

<p>Yes to both questions. I received my confirmation email about a week after submission, and it contained the link to the application status portal.</p>

27

<p>Has anyone who applied near the deadline received a confirmation email yet?</p>

28

<p>Sent mine in the day of. Haven’t gotten an email yet though. </p>

29

<p>That’s good to hear. Hopefully we’ll hear something in the next week.</p>

30

<p>Yup. I’ve logged onto the online portal and saw they processed all my documents, except for one. So I know they have my application.</p>

31

<p>Huh. I did not receive a confirmation email, but I was able to log in by requesting a new PIN. That’s a relief!</p>

32

<p>Same! And it says they’ve received/processed everything except my hs transcript.</p>

33

<p>And now we wait in anguish for two months. :(</p>

34

<p>Just try not to think about it. I had to wait FIVE MONTHS to hear the final results for my summer study abroad program. THAT was agonizing!</p>

35

<p>Once everything has been submitted, I will breathe a huge sigh of relief. Waiting is no problem at all, after applying to 21 schools. :-<</p>

36

<p>21 schools?! Holy moley! Where did you apply?</p>

<p>I applied to, like, four.</p>

37

<p>I’m kind of curious now. If nothing more than to keep the discussion going, would you mind sharing where you applied?</p>

38

<p>Haha I’ll pm you</p>

39

<p>Anyone else find the admissions rates for the class of 2018 interesting? A slightly increased admissions rate?</p>

40

<p>That might be due to the slightly fewer total applications they received as compared to last year.</p>
