Official Harvard SCEA 2016 Applicants' Discussion Thread

<p>I’m freaking out!!!</p>

<p>No, I’m not! I am kinda like a person that realizes he is about to die and has come to terms with it. I am preeeeeetty calm right now.</p>

<p>To avoid the whole “have you heard yet??” I’m planning on deactivating both twitter and facebook. </p>

<p>Wow, now I can’t log in at all. Not with Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari or IE. Y’all have me so paranoid. I thought it meant nothing whether we could log in or not log in…now I am thinking it is meaningful. Because of all of you my paranoia is surfacing! UGH! My dreams are shattered! I hate you all!! :D</p>

<p>Blahh I can still log in with every browser :frowning: now I’m nervous again, too.</p>

<p>But I think we’re overanalyzing this. (…I hope).</p>

<p>Frankly, I think it’s random. Up until an hour ago…I logged in fine (but only the first time…had to refresh to log in a 2nd). And now I cannot log in at all. Agree–it means nothing. :(</p>

<p>A mon avis, if it still says early, then there has either been no site update, or we are all accepted/rejected</p>

<p>Got this from the Yale forum, but I think it applies:
Everyone on this board is an amazing individual who has done amazing things. In a little over 25 hours, some us WILL be accepted to Harvard, and some won’t. That’s it. Nothing changes regarding the quality of our respective characters; there is no erasure of our accomplishments because Harvard couldn’t fit some of us in. While to us, the world seems like it’ll end at 5pm tomorrow, just remember that, to the rest of the world, it’s just another afternoon. And come a year from now, it’ll be that way for us too. So, partially to relax myself and partially in hopes that this will calm the rest of the board, I urge everyone to remember that, in eleven days, Christmas will come (and, please, insert whatever different holiday-themed countdown is most relevant to you), and you will all have a wonderful time, no matter what may come tomorrow. I know I will.</p>

<p>On a side note, I feel like the only person on here that has no life! My nights off this week are spent on here instead of doing homework!</p>

<p>^^ That is actually helpful :slight_smile: It was soothing to read</p>

<p>^ Lol. Nope…you’re not the only one! For the past week especially, I have done the absolute bare minimum with regard to my school work, constantly clicking the refresh button on this page haha</p>

<p>Anyone have any idea when they updated the system? I couldn’t log in (despite clearing history, etc.) at around 2 to 3 a.m. EST last night on IE (and occasionally on Chrome), although now I can log in on both browsers.</p>

<p>same here! I have a paper due friday and I have done none of it…</p>

<p>I encountered the same thing as Calgirl did. Using Safari, logged in, and it worked. Logged out and tried logging back on, but it didn’t work anymore.</p>

<p>I think we’re over-thinking this.</p>

<p>Yeah no we definitely are. It’s really just a glitch in the system. I am confident that Harvard is smart enough not to give any indication of its decisions until tomorrow after 5pm.</p>

<p>Good luck guys!!!</p>

<p>@cortana431 thanks :slight_smile: congrats to you. you’re coming to my town xD</p>

<p>I really hope I get in RD guys :)</p>

<p>^Considering that you just posted the exact same “glitch” message on the MIT boards, I have to say,</p>

<p>■■■■.</p>

<p>EDIT: and of course, you edited your comment as soon as I posted, like the ■■■■■ you are, so you could make me look like a total a<strong>h</strong>*</p>

<p>well played, eh?</p>

<p>^What’s your problem dude? I was just trying to be sanguine.</p>

<p>Applicant status site is still working for me (along with ‘Early’ Applicant Type specified).</p>
