Official Harvard RD 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>I know they can…
My question though is “Must they be reported? Does Harvard want them for anything else except credit?” :)</p>

<p>Well, I don’t see what they could do to you if you didn’t send them. Haha</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>

<p>Wait, they are calling people? What if your phone number is different from when you applied, would they try contacting you another way or just let you wait until they notify everyone. Not like I’m even expecting to get in. I fully expect a flat out rejection.</p>

<p>@cfl927- I feel you XD</p>

<p>BTW, congrats to all those likelied! </p>

<p>Two weeks to go! (almost, if you don’t count today) Any thoughts?</p>

<p>i am pretty sure i am going to throw up…i am soo nervous, but i am comforted by knowing there are people who understand this restless feeling. no one in my school applied to any of the ivy’s and rarely people in my county apply. i feel so alone and excited/scared! how do i calm myself? my stomach is officially dropped…this is how ill feel until i know my fate!! Sorry for the rant , i am just so worried!</p>

<p>its crazy! i feel like i fit in on these forums! everyone is on the same team. it makes me think that ill fit in really well at Harvard</p>

<p>sooo amazing! good luck my friend!</p>

<p>theamazingemz …the waiting game SUCKS!!! i get butterflies everytime i even see the name Harvard</p>

<p>Do I have to do the score report on the status check, if I haven’t taken any new sat/act/ap? Or do I have to report the test I already sent in?</p>

<p>I’m just trying to let the time pass by, and I’m looking forward to other things haha. Like last Saturday, my sister got married and I was the maid of honor. So for the past couple months, it’s been more of a lead-up to that. Then my best friend came in to visit from out of town and left tonight, so now I’m waiting for The Hunger Games midnight premiere. I feel like breaking the next two weeks up into smaller checkpoints will make them go by more quickly, you know?</p>

<p>Sidenote, anyone else a Hunger Games fan? I’m freaking the hell out, you don’t even know.</p>

<p>I’m ridiculously excited about the Hunger Games! I have a calculus test the 23rd, but I may go to the midnight premiere anyway!</p>

<p>^^ I do the same exact thing!! I created two or three events that split my waiting time into little chunks with “checkpoints” along the way. It makes the wait go much faster!</p>

<p>Hey guys!
I have been keeping an eye on CC for a long time, but decided to register just now because something really strange happened, so I have a question…
My college counselor received a call from Harvard, the admissions officer saying that they “are interested” in my case and asking him a couple of questions about me…what does this mean so late in the admissions process? I mean…it’s almost time for decisions, isn’t it? My counselor said that the Harvard adcom sounded pretty positive, but still…what is this? Why now? :?
Any input will be greatly appreciated - thanks! :)</p>

<p>I’m not too sure, WaitingIvy, it’s hard to guess things either way. I haven’t had any experience with older friends or siblings applying to Harvard or any top-notch schools, so I’m treading new waters here. Hopefully it’s a good sign! I mean, I don’t see why they would call if it wasn’t. But who knows.</p>

<p>I’m going to the midnight premiere, it’s going to be aslkdfjhasldk. My theater does reserved seating, too, so I already know where I’m going to sit. I can take a nap afterschool and get there at 11:50, if I want. <3</p>

<p>ohmygod. so nervous! 14 more days :/</p>

<p>@WaitingIvy–probably means that the ad com is very interested but hasn’t made a decision – and that they want to clarify something in the application which will put you on one side of the fence or the other. I know that this is nerve racking, but it means that at this stage you are not out of the game-- that in of itself is a good thing. At this stage of the deliberations they are looking to just be done–they are searching for the final people to round out the class–something in your file suggested that perhaps that could be you. </p>

<p>Don’t open the bubbly yet, to be sure. But you are still in the game when probably 26000+ are not.</p>

<p>Wow okay, this is all just really nerve wracking. I can’t believe decisions will be out in 2 weeks! I’m not sure whether I want it to come quickly or stay away as long as possible…</p>

<p>Deep down, I keep hoping that they’re still sending likely letters and I’ll get one. I’m pretty sure it’s over though :(</p>

<p>I don’t know if this will help you guys calm down, I read that Harvard admissions will probably have decisions finalized by NEXT week March 20th or 21st, so that they can pass on the names of admittees to the Financial aid office. </p>

<p>I don’t know about you, but that makes me more anxious/excited!</p>

<p>Well that sucks because apparently I have updates that never went through and my counselor has to send them in and I’m not sure if she will actually do it or not because she’s a very forgetful person and they were supposed to have gone in a while ago but no and they’re probably not going to get in before the end of next week and by then even if they do it won’t make a difference anyways</p>
