<p>Good luck ppl!</p>
<p>(I’ve got Yale transfer in the back of my mind now that I’m feeling Harvard doubts).</p>
<p>It’s time to sleep now
My bed awaits my presence
Have a nice night all</p>
<p>From todays Crimson:</p>
<p>[Yield</a> May Top 76 Percent for Class of 2014 | The Harvard Crimson](<a href=“http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2010/5/12/students-fitzsimmons-year-percent/]Yield”>Yield May Top 76 Percent for Class of 2014 | News | The Harvard Crimson)</p>
<p>Harvard’s target class size for the class of 2014 is 1667. Of the 2110 applicants offered admission so far, 1604 have accepted which means Harvard needs to add approximately 63 students from the waitlist. Harvard’s yield from the waitlist is 90%. So to add 63, it will need to offer admission to approximately 70.</p>
<p>Also, Harvard expects some (possibly between 30 and 50) of the 1604 to defer admission for a year. Harvard will fill those slots from the waitlist also.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>I was once like you.
Waiting list is not much fun.
Good luck to you all!</p>
<p>@FenwayLover,
“Also, Harvard expects some (possibly between 30 and 50) of the 1604 to defer admission for a year. Harvard will fill those slots from the waitlist also.”</p>
<p>I believe that the Harvard waitlist estimate of 65-75 is net of ALL churn. Only if the the total defered students reaches the upper end of the estimate (45+) would the waitlist total possibly exceed 75 …</p>
<p>So, another day
another AP exam<br>
Lang today, World next</p>
<p>Obviously there are all kinds of moving parts to this, Fitzsimmons said.</p>
<p>I don’t understand this sentence:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>How do you say “no” to an offer of admission and then change your mind later?</p>
<p>I did not know that this was a choice…</p>
<p>I knew there would be
A crimson article too
So there to you all</p>
<p>I know everyone probably has this information but I just got off the phone with admissions and asked them when they would be contacting those whom they select from the Harvard Waitlist. They said they started reviewing it last week (Thursday May 6th) and would continue this week thru the 1st of next week. I am betting the calls to those admitted will begin around Tuesday the 18th since last year it was Tuesday the 19th.</p>
<p>Good Luck to Everyone!</p>
<p>We heard that news too
Hope to get a call next week
That would make my year</p>
<p>****ing nerds</p>
<p>The Choice blog has an article up on yield now.</p>

<p>hey, i’m another (VERY late-arriving) lurker</p>
<p>matriculating at williams.</p>
<p>nice to meet you all. really hoping for a call this coming week. good luck to you all!</p>
<p>hey i asked this earlier but no one said anything and i’m still curious…how many of you guys are legacies? i hear that’s a serious consideration for WL kids</p>
<p>Not a legacy from Harvard College. I don’t know if the other graduate schools like law and medicine have any influence at all. If they do, then yes.</p>
<p>I don’t know whether its a serious consideration; I have a friend on the waitlist who is a legacy and s/he (whether correct or not) believes that being waitlisted was cushioning the blow of being rejected because s/he was a legacy. I think it could go either way. Any other opinions?</p>
<p>From The Choice’s article on waitlists: "Harvard responded that its yield was more than 76 percent, which it said represented a slight increase over last year. Still, Harvard said it expected to admit 65 to 75 students off the waiting list.</p>
<p>Dartmouth, my alma mater, said its yield this spring was 55 percent. That is a 7 percentage point increase over last year — a jump so large that no applicant may be admitted from the waiting list this year, according to Maria Laskaris, the dean of admissions and financial aid. (Last year, 95 came off that list, she said.) The University of Pennsylvania said its yield had held steady, at 63 percent, though Penn said it was too early to know about the waiting list.
:</p>
<p>the college counselor at my school who used to work in admissions at harvard said that legacies are typically given priority on the waitlist - but the cushioning the blow tactic does happen as well</p>
<p>nyprepster; hmmmm. I wonder how anyone can know which one they are.</p>
