<p>a lot of my friends who are applying to other schools have found out exactly what time decisions are being posted, and i can't find a similar statement on the harvard website. is it the 15th? not that a couple days less or more really matters, but i'm just curious.
thanks, happy thanksgiving, and much luck to all!</p>
<p>I think Byerly said that an email would be sent at 5 on the 14.</p>
<p>The Harvard website says they will be emailed on the 14th AFTER 5 pm and mailed the following day.</p>
<p>but that doesn't mean you'll get it right at 5--harvard staggers its emails. last year, however, after 5 pm, students could log into the harvard admitted students page using their application pins--if they had been accepted--before all the emails had been sent. </p>
<p>harvard got wise to this in the spring, I believe, and did not allow admitted RD students to access the admitted students page until the next day.</p>
<p>sunglasses is absolutely correct. I was admitted RD and they specifically said on the admissions website that admitted students could access the page on April 1st (not March 31st when results were e-mailed).</p>
<p>e-mailed 5pm on Dec. 14</p>
<p>as if this wasn't repeated enough</p>
<p>The rumored date is the 14th at 5PM. But I've also read that about a week beforehand they will email you and tell you when they are going to email you.</p>
<p>ok, thanks, just wondering, sorry if its been repeated 1000x.</p>
<p>i'll probably end up checking my email, but it just seems so impersonal. know what i mean?</p>
<p>It's also very nervewracking when the E-mail subject is "Admissions Decision."</p>
<p>yeah its weird to have something so important come in an email...
but id rather get it than wait.</p>
<p>Yeah. Best of luck guys! I've been on both sides: deferral (basically a rejection) and an acceptance later on. It's really nervewracking and really shows human nature and our rollercoaster emotions.</p>
