<p>What is faster? Do they both arrive on the 15?</p>
<p>Logging on to Harvard’s site when decisions are released is the fastest way to learn their decision.</p>
<p>^^ Harvard does NOT provide decisions through their website; they send notifications by email and US Postal Service. Emails are sent at 5pm on the day of notification. Letters are sent by US Postal service on the day of notification, but may take several days to get to an applicant’s address.</p>
<p>sorry, my mistake</p>
<p>What method would you recommend gibby and Sherpa? It’s special to receive mail, rather than email</p>
<p>Forget about “special.” Do you want to know immediately, or do you want to wait on pins and needles for 3-4 days for the letter to arrive? Most students I suspect do email; my kids did.</p>
<p>I’d recommend opening their email to get the news asap. Then, if you’re accepted, you can anxiously wait for the snail mail, and frame it when it comes.</p>
<p>^^ Also, gives you more time to finish your other apps if you are deferred or rejected.</p>
<p>Dasdui: Since a good portion of people are rejected, the college will only send notification after a long time after the applicant does not log in and check the decision. You wanna wait for possibly an accept/defer letter for a week or a reject letter for 2-3 weeks? By then, your other deadlines will have passed.</p>
<p>I think you’re proposed course of action is filled with negatives.</p>
<p>^^Falcon, sherpa, and gibby…or, as soon as you get in…you can relax knowing that you can eliminate half of your regular applications…and only send out the apps to 2 or 3 other schools that your K is ONLY seriously considering attending…as our K did last year…it’s a win win situation!</p>
<p>I will use email</p>
