<p>I took BC calc last year without taking a course. They tested so few topics last year. I got a 5, but I am still mad about all the stupid mistakes I made on it. That was my first ever AP exam that I took.</p>
<p>“And, in the midst of studying, of course my mind has wandered back to contemplating my chances of getting off of the Harvard wait list… it’s almost inevitable.”</p>
<p>Same here…<em>rolls eyes</em></p>
<p>Add me as a lurker coming forward. I want to major in engineering.</p>
<p>Hurray titan! You are added to the master list. I’ll post it later tonight while also not studying for calc BC! I’m taking a practice test. It’s so pointless. I just keep pausing my stopwatch and heading back to CC. :o</p>
<p>-Optimism!</p>
<p>@hobo, Wash U does seem like an amazing place and I am happy to go but Harvard would entice me away. We actually wouldn’t meet next year as I am taking a gap year, but I’d be happy to meet you after.
@qizixite, putting where you matriculated on the list is a great idea. We should all do that.
I am not taking BC Calc, btw. Just Bio and Lit. I decided not to take the AB Calc Exam because I suck at math.</p>
<p>Hey guys, I’m on the waitlist too! I put down my deposit for Columbia already, but still hopeful :)</p>
<p>Welcome! I’m putting college of matriculation in brackets. Feel free to state it and I’ll add it (that was a rhyme!).</p>
<p>If your name is in bold PLEASE come out and say hi so we can confirm that you remained on the waitlist! Thanks!</p>
<p>Updated with wonderful lurkers. More people should come out and join us! (77 people so far; 51 for sure-26 unknown)

<p>Noticed you didn’t put down your own matriculation, qizixite. Where are you going?</p>
<p>I edited it in! U. Chicago! I’m pretty excited although… Harvard…</p>
<p>okay. I hate to be regimental, but the list is getting really shabby looking. I’m going to reformat it</p>
<p>qizixite (location) interests [college attending] and see how it looks. And yes, this is jus tanother way for me to not study for APs :o</p>
<p>We had Honors night at my D’s school tonight and one of her friends was accepted to Yale. His Mom told me that there were a lot of kids that took Yale over Harvard and to not give up because there was lots of opportunity.</p>
<p>Hurray! Each person is on one line! If you don’t like what your line says, just say so. I am going to stop posting now to give other people a turn. I feel like I am hogging the thread :o</p>
<p>Simplywaiting: that’s good news. I just hope the yield is around 73% <em>crossing fingers</em> that’s 122 people accepted off the waitlist!</p>
<p>This is getting so organized and you’re not hogging qizixite. Yale takes the most from Harvard. Apparently its a 64-36 split for cross-admits.</p>
<p>Agreed that qizixite is not a hog. Qiz, you are the best thing to happen to this thread!</p>
<p>Still no yield news, but in the meantime, here is an interesting article that someone posted on another thread…</p>
<p>[College</a> admissions: The annual guessing game | The Burlington Free Press | Burlington, Vermont](<a href=“http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20100502/NEWS02/5020305/College-admissions-The-annual-guessing-game]College”>http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20100502/NEWS02/5020305/College-admissions-The-annual-guessing-game)</p>
<p>Interesting article but I feel like none of this stuff ever applies directly to Harvard. League of its own.</p>
<p>My last update to the list of the night. I agree with you Gunther, none of this applies. But it is always fun to speculate… speculate… speculate…</p>
<p>Welcome! I’m putting college of matriculation in brackets. Feel free to state your own and I’ll add it.</p>

<p>I will just add that this totally will NOT be your last update of the night. Of that, I am sure.</p>
<p>Well, now that AP Spanish is over I guess I’m obliged to stop lurking on this thread and give you a few up-to-the-dizzates.</p>
<p>For the master list: I’m from the great state of Michigan, and like cicero, I plan to try a Physics/Math dual-concentration. For my unabashed love of physics, well, surely you’re the cause, Mr. Feynman!</p>
<p>As far as a favorite author is concerned, Proust is in a league of his own. So much goodness contained in a measly 4300 pages. Read it this summer if you get a chance. Beside (or rather, pretty far beneath) Proust would have to be Joyce (A Portrait of the Artist > Ulysses in my opinion) and Faulkner (Absalom, Absalom! blew me away). And Jerry Spinelli’s Stargirl will always occupy a special place in my heart.</p>
<p>Have you read Faulkner’s “The Bear”? Great short story. I’m going to have to try Proust this summer. Everyone seems to love it.</p>
<p>Nick, is this an okay line for you in the master list?:
Nickwasy (MI) math/physics [U. Michigan]</p>
<p>@Gunther. It is now the morning of a new day. I therefore was right my friend!</p>
<p>@qizixite, Semantics, good budy, just semantics. Is that why you waited until after midnight btw?</p>
