Official Harvard RD Class of 2018 Thread

<p>Being somehow overjoyed before the decision and get rejected is the worst! May be I will face it =)))</p>

<p>@ Eljui7 It’s your nerves talking. Sit tight and we’ll make it through in less than 24 hours.</p>

<p>OKay</p>

<p>@Eljui7 it happens to me too! Doesn’t work the first attempt, and then the second attempt works… We’ll just have to wait for tomorrow. Being positive! :D</p>

<p>)</p>

<p>I got it. Being able to log in means nothing!</p>

<p>I couldn’t get in earlier and now I can. Plus it says that the website isn’t supposed to be available right now. It’s just maintenance. :)</p>

<p>Do not want to get Rejected=)))</p>

<p>I was looking at past threads and couldn’t get anything for sure, if we have a gmail that shows the first line will it display the decision without opening the email?
Also I noticed that in past year applicants had to mark an option to recieve it through email does anyone remember marking anything?</p>

<p>Thanks u guys!! I’m so nervous!!!</p>

<p>Less than 24 hours away! Who’s nervous/excited/going to be relieved?</p>

<p>I am waiting to be rejected.</p>

<p>@actman21 I think the first line would read: if you cannot view this email properly…</p>

<p>Also I think you tick a box to not receive emails and get a physical letter instead.</p>

<p>@actman21
What @Keepyourshirton said is right on! You had to (its too late now) select a box to receive decisions via email. If box was unticked (on status portal), then you will have to wait for mailed letter (which are sent out tommorow morning first thing BTW) or try logging onto Harvard’s account using your Last Name and Pin and if you can get in and access the Admitted Portal then you are pretty much accepted! That is how I will be doing it tommorow. I unticked the box. </p>

<p>Was it default ticked or unticked? I don’t remember ever ticking a box… @matrixsurgeon</p>

<p>@ronanicus
That I am not sure of…I know I unticked it a couple of days ago as I changed my decision to not get it via email. But I am not sure whether it was automatically ticked when we signed up months ago. I think it might not have been but I am not completely sure… You could always contact admissions tommorow and try to get it to what you want?</p>

<p>Good luck everybody. X_X how much does alumni rec letter mean?</p>

Rejected, I know it!</p>

<p>plt222, same thing happens to me, but when I click the login button again, it logs me in. Honestly, like everyone else is saying, we’re all reading WAY too far into this “portal” thing; it’s not even the actual admitted students portal. I know it’s impossible, but just wait until tomorrow at 5ET to know for sure!</p>

<p>Ok, I had them send me my pin number and I was able to log in. But as Matrixsurgeon says, it’s simply an account that says, “Decisions will be emailed on Thursday at 5pm Eastern.” </p>

<p>“Dude, I heard that if you can get on the portal the day before decisions come out it means you got in and you even get membership for the Porcellian and then a job at Blackstone.” -Some dude. </p>

<p>Moral of the quote- don’t believe everything on here. </p>

<p>So maybe as a little distraction, if you were to get accepted (we’re all dreaming here!) how would you let people know? Keep it to yourself, tell everyone in person, make an announcement on social media, etc.? What would you say/do? </p>
