<p>@Sebelius, I think the vast majority to get full committee, I think only the 100 non athletic recruits don’t and maybe the athletes too…</p>
<p>If full committee is 7 days for EA and about 19-23 days for RD, sounds like maybe a third apply EA 
</p>
<p>I meant more along the lines of get a full read at committee and have actual debate over the fate of the applicant. There are bound to be a lot of folks who will be rejected off the bat and some that will accepted just as quickly. It’s that middle ground that matters. I’m assuming that there’s a lot more debate around SCEA applicants (especially since every SCEA admit is almost certainly an admit who will come to Harvard) since they won’t have seen the entire applicant pool.</p>
<p>@GordonTheGekko:
These dates were set before applications started coming in. The AdCom does have an idea of how many people/quality of applicants from past SEAC rounds, but that’s at least some 3 years ago, so I wouldn’t read too much into the meaning of how long the committee rounds are. </p>
<p>Also, keep in mind, many applicants are deferred, and they’ll be reconsidered in the RD round…</p>
<p>Any idea of when we’ll have some hard numbers to over-analyze? >w<
I saw Duke’s press release a few days back; apparently the numbers were better than in years past. It will be interesting to see how things shake out among the Ivies.</p>
<p>My interviewer gave me the impression that NO ONE was rejected in the EA round. He kept telling me that if I don’t get in early, I’d be re-considered in the RD round (I didn’t ask if they rejected people because I was scared of the answer… ;))</p>
<p>AHHH more agonizing waiting!</p>
<p>Superkelpie, he’s correct, most are not rejected during EA, but rather deferred. Most who are deferred are rejected though…</p>
<p>GordonTheGekko, I am confused. Won’t they deny you if they don’t think you will get in during the early round? Also, I am headed to a wedding this week, so am I missing out on potential interview times?</p>
<p>Is it true that even if there are alumni in the area who are available to interview, only some applicants get interviews (like those who are completley unqualified don’t get one?)</p>
<p>Also, anyone know how many people applied SCEA? Or… how many CCers?</p>
<p>Do you guys think we should post our stats (with the format of the last Harvard decision results thread) and get feedback on our chances on this thread? I think it’d be kinda fun to see if what people predict actually turn out to be correct or not! :D</p>
<p>Haha why not. My interview is on Thursday with a marketing VP nearby. I’m on my phone so format may be funky.</p>
<p>SAT- 2290 (780 CR, 710 M, 800 CR)
AP- 5’s on all (world, ush, lang, psych)
SAT 2- 750 lit 780 world 800 us 800 latin
GPA - 4.0 uw 4.391 w
12th classes- AP Enviro, AP lit, AP Vergil, AP Calc BC, AP euro, AP combined us and comp gov, journalism 4</p>
<p>EC- mostly tutoring /teaching and classics related. Taught Greek to classmates, independently translate old AP syllabus, Pres of latin club and latin honor society, eic of paper. Tae kwon do competition team.Captain of latin quiz bowl team.
Awards - perfects on national latin exam, medals and commendations on dozens of classics test and at njcl and vjcl conventions including best in show for latin dramatic interpretation and latin sight reading.
Also lots of first place finishes for tkd in state</p>
<p>Other:
Hispanic male from El Salvador (but international since I have no green card so not a urm ), $60,000 income for house
Essays about conveying gratitude to my hardworking dad through academics (all six people who’ve read it have cried lol) and about working hard for latin despite the air of intellectual apathy at my school.</p>
<p>Rec - latin teacher (very good), lang teacher (may be good or generic - same goes for counselor )</p>
<p>BTW school doesn’t rank</p>

<p>Eh… I don’t really see the point of posting stats because practically every Harvard SCEA’er here is guaranteed to have excellent numbers. The tie-breakers will really be ECs and essays.</p>
<p>This is just awkward for me, then…</p>
<p>Sent from my LG-P509 using CC App</p>
<p>Calgirl, I strongly disagree. I have already seen many threads about applicants who have submitted their stuff but are worried about their stat. I am one of those people, actually. Regardless, the whole subjective business is why I suggested this :)</p>
<p>Interficio, I would predict an acceptance! It’s really great that you show a passion for Latin. Does this correlate to what you want to study in college as you have indicated on the supplement? Also, the fact that you’re relatively low-income will help. </p>

<p>Thanks! Who knows what they’ll do with my international status. From my research, Harvard and Princeton care the least but it will definitely hurt and possibly guarantee a rejection when it comes to Stanford. The other downside are the other stronger classicists who I know are applying. Oh well, I’ve done all I could! Wish me luck for Thursday’s interview </p>

<p>This chancing idea has already been done before, and it was in the following thread (started by 1987Crimson, who is a Harvard alum and interviewer and who could probably speak more accurately for Harvard’s admissions than its own applicants):</p>
<p><a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1197469-post-here-i-will-chance-you.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1197469-post-here-i-will-chance-you.html</a></p>

<p>Oh I PMed to him a long time ago, and he said he doesn’t chance people anymore. That would be awesome though!</p>
<p>Read decision threads for better insight</p>
<p>I meant that you should peruse that thread and see what kinds of numbers he said would make the applicants academically qualified for Harvard. Judging from what he said there, you would definitely be qualified. 
Your ECs are impressive too.</p>

<p>oh, I see! Thanks for the link then :)</p>
