Official Harvard RD Class of 2018 Thread

<p>Waitlisted. Better than rejection I guess :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I still donā€™t have an emailā€¦ :-(</p>

<p>Friend and I just got massacred. Me-
rejected everywhere except
waitlist- Brown, Dartmouth and Chicago.</p>

<p>Him-rejected everywhere except- waitlist Columbia.</p>

<p>Oh well. I guess weā€™ll just have to start our hedge fund from a Berkeley dorm room. Wonā€™t have any trouble finding Mandarin speakers to work in the Asian Division!</p>

<p>@carbajalia,</p>

<p>Same exact thing with me! Rejected everywhere with waitlists at Penn, Cornell and Brown and my friend didnā€™t get into any Ivies either (though Iā€™m not sure about waitlists).</p>

<p>Congratulations to all the newly admitted students! Youā€™re going to love Harvard. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Rejected. Quite disappointing being that Iā€™m a legacy. Did anyone get in or did everyone get a rejection letter? Lol</p>

<p>Massacred by the Iviesā€¦</p>

<p>I was wait listed. Gotta say Iā€™m impressed. I just applied for fun. Iā€™m Asian and one of my SAT scores was a 610. Iā€™m not a Valedictorianā€¦or a Salutatorian. Not an athlete. </p>

<p>My brother got waitlisted.</p>

<p>The letter said sometimes Harvard takes 100 people off the waitlist and sometimes they take 0.</p>

<p>Yowzers!</p>

<p>Also, the valedictorian at his school got into Harvard but didnā€™t get into any of the other Ivy League schools.</p>

<p>WHAT. THE. FRUIT?!</p>

<p>Massacred by all Ivies (aka rejected). Also, Iā€™m a White Male with 4.0 UW and 16 APā€™s taken, close to perfect ACT, varsity sport, tons of leadership and ECS, developed own iPhone app, etcā€¦</p>

<p>Did I just start a new phrase?</p>

<p>@carbajalia
Just check out the previous result threads. There are a lot of students like you who have got rejected with similar stats ( if not better).
Every person who applies to Harvard must be ready to face a potential rejection letter.</p>

<p>I like that. #massacredbytheivies
Itā€™s crazy. </p>

<p>And for all those who havent gotten an email yet I have my fingers crossed for you! :wink: </p>

<p>Letā€™s make #massacredbytheivies a popular Twitter hastag</p>

<p>Waitlisted</p>

<p>Have any of you guys seen the movie admissions? After talking with an admissions officer from Harvard (when my sister got in) she described the whole process. And itā€™s basically identical to the way that movie portrays it. </p>

<p>I still have no email. What should I do?</p>
