Official Harvard SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>Anybody know if Harvard is actually snail-mailing notices on Dec 14? If so, those in Cambridge vicinity might get letter before email. Any relevant history recorded on CC?</p>

<p>^I want to know, too. Anyone have any ideas?</p>

<p>@TomKat: Aww you spoiled it! Just kidding. I used to watch that show a LONG time ago but am still curious to see who wins the All-Stars.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t think the USPS can pull off same-day delivery, even within the same city.</p>

<p>No, but presumably they might deliver the mail on the 15th before 5 p.m., allowing people in the area to hear by mail a few hours earlier.</p>

<p>47 people have pledged! Statistically, there will be SEVEN joyful green out of FORTY brutal red :(</p>

<p>Seven days, eight hours and thirty-eight minutes.
. . .
That is all. ^w^</p>

<p>Does it help that I come from an eastern North Carolina school system where no one has even applied to Harvard in years, if ever? I’m not a URM, but there has only been one person that I know of in the last decade that has been accepted to Harvard from my area (he was home schooled).</p>

<p>I’ve been eyeing this forum for quite a while (I’ve obsessively read all the pages) and finally decided to post. If it’s true that the final committee meeting was yesterday, then I’m even more nervous than ever. Anyone else thinking about how our decisions are all made, just sitting in a pile somewhere, waiting for the 15th? I am! Ahhhhh! I can’t even think about anything else until then!</p>

<p>Welcome to CC @iamthedoctor.</p>

<p>Hey guys! I just heard back from Harvard and… I GOT IN!!!</p>

<p>^ Obvious ■■■■■ is obvious.</p>

<p>Off the subject, nice name @iamthedoctor !</p>

<p>^^ must be a Yale fan</p>

<p>oy, space man. ; D</p>

<p>so jealous of Columbia in 25 minutes. so so jealous.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>They should have got the decision by this very minute! I’ll take a peep at the Columbia board, see how it’s going.</p>

<p>the cornellians have their decisions</p>

<p>So few people from Columbia got accepted that it’s freaking me out :O</p>

<p>^^^</p>

<p>Whoever that was posting that they got in is clearly lying. It is posts like that that truly infuriate me. Ever since I clicked the submit button my anxiety has been steadily growing. Now that insipid post has almost made me lose it. I hope all you real applicants get in. </p>

<p>peace love and harvard</p>

<p>^Wait . . how do you know?</p>
