Official Harvard SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>@1987Crimson: ur comment made my day; I work to support our family.</p>

<p>@ power4good</p>

<p>I really have a lot of respect for people like you who work to support their families and are able to maintain good academics/extracurriculars. I have trouble just doing the latter. Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>There are 666 posts in this thread… So I’m making it 667 with this post. You are welcome. 15 days!!! Super jealous of the columbia ED kids who get their decisions in 8 days… grrrr.</p>

<p>^ i am super upset with that. what makes them one-week-earlier-worthy?</p>

<p>@shockstot
We should be honored. Harvard spends one more week carefully perusing our applications to see whose heart to break first. Haha. </p>

<p>I’m really trying to no think about it now, but here I am on CC… #firstworldproblems</p>

<p>@sebelius Good point! I guess I would rather wait a week and have a more accurate decision.</p>

<p>What will you all do if accepted? Will you accept the offer immediately or will you still apply RD to other schools?</p>

<p>Anyone in the Inland Empire represent?</p>

<br>

<br>

<p>ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT DFGDFGDDFGDFGDF</p>

<p>ACCEPT ACCEPT ACCEPT except if i get full ride somewhere amazing…</p>

<p>Isnt harvard full ride already?</p>

<p>what? O_o for huh?</p>

<p>@power4good: Not sure where you got that idea - Harvard is free to attend for people below a certain income, but the majority of students pay at least partial tuition.</p>

<p>I honestly can’t see any scenario where I would turn down Harvard if accepted, so I may not apply to any more schools if I get in. Are there other schools any of you would pick over Harvard?</p>

<p>so i would have to pay almost everything, so basically what i said above, for any college that wants to offer me money, i’m all up for it! but of course, i’m thinking, it should be above a certain caliber</p>

<p>@Penguinito22: it is 10x freer for me. I would jaw drop if it isnt because thats partialy the reason why I applied in the first place.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Right here!</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna, Pomona, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Caltech, Harvey Mudd. I’d be ecstatic if I were accepted at Harvard, but the cold, well, is a real turn-off. :P</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna, Pomona, USC, UCLA, Stanford, Caltech, Harvey Mudd</p>

<p>Those over Harvard? I can understand the last 3 and Pomona, but for undergraduate USC? UCLA? Claremont?</p>

<p>I’m still applying to Penn, Yale and Stanford. Stanford is just lovely and warm and <em>IN CALIFORNIA</em>, Yale has an NROTC det on-campus (super-convenient), and Penn is in Philly. I adore that city. Though I have yet to visit Boston, so it may very well pale by comparison. In any case, I love Harvard, and I really want to be there, but my folks want me to have every option if possible.</p>

<p>Strangely, I absolutely LOVE the New England weather!
I would definitely attend Harvard if accepted but am still applying to other schools just to see where else I get in and to compare options. In the end, though, it’s Harvard all the way! :D</p>

<p>Well I got this from the Cornell forum but I thought it could appy here as well:</p>

<p>Let’s move on to the happier stuff for once</p>

<p>If you guys got in, how would you celebrate?</p>

<p>Me? I would take off my shirt, go outside and run through my neighbourhood simultaneously waving my shirt in the air like a cowboy and yelling out as loud as I can (and scaring off all the dogs and cats).</p>

<p>Man, if I got in, I’d just flow. Whatever feels right. But, in all likelihood, some of the worst dancing imaginable would probably be visible through my bedroom window. ENDLESS PARTY ROCKING.</p>
