Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2017

<p>Post edited. (removed)</p>

<p>Sorry that Harvard didn’t publish the stats yet. They were published pretty early in the day last year–around 10am. Only thing I can think of is that decision day was the same for all of HYP last year (12/15), whereas Harvard is first this year. Harvard may delay publishing the stats for that reason. Just a guess…only Harvard knows, but you will all know your individual decisions in a few hours.</p>

<p>Very best of luck to all of you. I feel as though I know some of you at this stage, so I am admittedly anxious for you. You seem like wonderful young adults who I hope my D will have the opportunity to meet next year.</p>

<p>Now stop trying to log in and do some schoolwork!</p>

<p>Just letting everyone know that getting deferred isn’t the end of the world. I got deferred SCEA and then waitlisted and then got in–everything has a weird way of working out!</p>

<p>@junejulyaugust that’s what many of us want to hear! Thanks! Hahaha</p>

<p>895 admitted through early action.</p>

<p>Nice. Great news for you all. Good luck again!</p>

<p>Good luck to all of you, I’m sure you’re all brilliant candidates!</p>

<p>Mmmaaaaah I’m more nervous for my friend that applied than she is…</p>

<p>Well. I guess it comes down to the last hour now. Hopefully, the emails aren’t delayed by 5 hours like last year. The .5 percentage point increase is somewhat nicer to be aware of though. I guess last year really was a test run of sorts!</p>

<p>"In addition to the 895 admitted students, 3,196 applicants were deferred and will be considered in the regular action process, 651 were denied, 12 withdrew, and 96 submitted incomplete applications. "</p>

<p>crap how bad would it feel to have submitted an incomplete application… I hope I didn’t… do they tell you if you did? lol</p>

<p>@NewYork94 what 0.5%? The article says acceptances were up 15%</p>

<p>daishi55, not % of those accepted/entire pool. The acceptances went up ~15%, but so did the number of applications (~14.5%).</p>

<p>I was referring to the acceptance rate, it went from 17.9 to 18.4</p>

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

<p>Good luck to everyone!!</p>

<p>4 more minutes guys. Good luck.</p>

<p>Does the email come out at 5:00 for everyone or do they just begin going out at 5?</p>

<p>Oh, got it. Still, that’s a lot better than 15% more applicants and no increase in acceptances. So does this mean that it’s just that harder to get in regular decision this year? I assume they never add to the total number of students who can go…</p>

<p>Here we go!</p>
