<p>I just got a letter from my admissions officer today - a short typed congratulatory note, but she added "Congratulations [name]!" and signed it, which made me feel slightly special. (But only slightly... haha... I guess more important applicants - recruited athletes, world-class musicians, Intel winners, etc - get a long, handwritten plea to attend? ;))</p>
<p>Anyway, just wondering if anyone else got this. It brightened my day. =)</p>
<p>yeah...i got that too. mine said something along the lines of..."i hope you'll join us next year." nice touch!</p>
<p>I didnt get anything, I guess I am a reject</p>
<p>Whyivy- no, these went out to people who got in early (like Toobin88 and lackadaisy). No one who applied regular or was deferred got these.</p>
<p>So don't worry!</p>
<p>Stanford actually sends a personalized handwritten note to all acceptees that specifically addresses some aspect of the applicant's essays. I'm in no way trying to slight harvard, but I just wanted to throw that information out there.</p>
<p>Ihope - I actually saw that thread on the Stanford forum and felt a <em>little</em> jealous. ;) But I'm not basing a college decision on a remark on my essays, so it's okay.</p>
<p>My daughter got a nice handwritten note at the bottom of the Harvard letter. It was written by her area admissions guy and mentioned how he liked her arts submission.</p>
<p>It's signed by the admission counselor in charge of your area.</p>
<p>Mine had a handwritten message from my admissions officer, saying she hoped I'd come in April and that ND always needs more representatives...I think what/how much they write depends on how nice they feel at the time and/or how bad a writer's cramp they have from sending out all these letters. Considering how ridiculously busy they must be, it's a nice gesture. Made me smile =)</p>
<p>i got mine too! i didnt know we had the opportunity to meet them when we go up for prefrosh...thats actually really cool. but what would you say to them..."hi i LOVE you." lol</p>
<p>lol yea i got something like that too...she said something like hope to see you in april...</p>
<p>has anyone gotten more info about prefrosh wknd? im so excited lol</p>
<p>i got one last year and i got in regular, it said that he really liked my supplemental essay</p>
<p>i got a note complementing me on my research work/publication thingy</p>
<p>My handwritten note was almost a paragraph talking about how she was excited to have more public school students from New Hampshire coming, but I had personally met her previously, so that might explain why it was kinda long.</p>
<p>I've only received the email so far.
I've been ACCEPTED but the email heading is just Your Application to Harvard. It sounded like a rejection letter. Scary!</p>
<p>I'd like to have a handwritten note too, please! Let's see what they put in my paper acceptance letter!</p>
<p>A lot of people receive the "Hope you'll join us!" statement. A machine actually writes that...ha...</p>
<p>A machine wrote my "hope you'll join us!" thingy.....******************************************************************************************</p>
