Official Harvard SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>How about 11 microseconds? ;)</p>

<p>microseconds? haha isn’t it milliseconds? ;)</p>

<p>11:11 pm and 11.111111 seconds, I wished that would get into Harv-</p>

<p>Yale.</p>

<p>haha did you apply to harvard early? or yale?</p>

<p>Was there a Harvard RD results thread last year? I can’t find it anywhere.</p>

<p>Here ya go:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1112322-official-harvard-university-2015-decisions-thread.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/1112322-official-harvard-university-2015-decisions-thread.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>really?? I searched the EXACT title in google and it wouldn’t come up :frowning: Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Haha I applied to Harvard early… as you can tell by my preemptive change in location.</p>

<p>gotcha :wink: Good luck!</p>

<p>A few years ago, some applicants were talking about an alternative way to check the decision status. Apparently you lose access to the Harvard website that we have a password for, or something? Anyone know what exactly that’s all about?</p>

<p>I read that on last year’s RD discussion post. I would like to know, too.
Anyway, just finished my interview!! All I can do now is to wait…</p>

<p>^How did it go? Not as nerve-wracking as you thought, I hope :)</p>

<p>Also, if anyone cares, here’s a results thread from the last time Harvard offered EA:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/275285-official-ea-results-thread-class-2011-a.html?[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/harvard-university/275285-official-ea-results-thread-class-2011-a.html?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Any speculations about this year’s acceptance rate relative to last year’s? I think it’ll go down, since it has done so in the past.</p>

<p>Is anyone else having “Harvard nightmares” at this point? Haha, I had one where I got accepted and was celebrating with my family and then woke up and was actually rejected. It was the “dream within a dream” nightmare from hell. :(</p>

<p>Maybe it is because I just had my interview and they kept interrupting me. They even told me it would be wise to send in some of my paintings because I “should do everything extra that I can in order to boost my chances”. I hope that was not a “you seem nice and we feel bad that you will probably get rejected. maybe that would help you a little…?” Lol scary. </p>

<p>Okay I am done panicking. For now…</p>

<p>^Inception…</p>

<p>college info - probably not as much, because last year was the beginning of Harvard and the common app. </p>

<p>We also won’t know until April.</p>

<p>Honestly the worst part is when my friends are like “Why are you worrying? You’ll get into Harvard” All I can say is no. no. no… and secretly cry inside.</p>

<p>^ ahaha seriously! Everyone I know keeps misconstruing that an interview means I am some sort of “finalist” or something. My brother and my friends have all been saying, “you made it this far, now just don’t fail at the interview and you are in”. I don’t think they are grasping how much worse they are making this.</p>

<p>^It’s gotten worse after the interview. I never should have told them it went well…</p>

<p>hahah my family told me to forget about it(and I haven’t told any friends so I can avoid the Dec 15th disappointment resurfacing when people ask/ so they don’t laugh at finding out that I’m applying to such a high reach school). I think half of me has given up hope, too… :frowning:
Whatever’s meant to happen will happen, I guess. </p>

<p>Was last year really the first year of Harvard & the common app??</p>
