The Harvard Waitlist Waiting Room 2014 Thread

<p>Wait so did Harvard give any official figures/data yet?
I haven’t been checking in as much nowadays, like everyone else, trying to keep my mind off of it</p>

<p>Hahaha. Good for you, Qiz.</p>

<p>Very impressive, quizixite. Yield was 76% and they’re accepting 65-75 kids off the waitlist.</p>

<p>Tharp: There has been a Crimson article and a Harvard Gazette article discussing yield. The general info is that 65-75 will be accepted off the waitlist and that 1604 have accepted a spot out of the 2110 offered admission. Also, that 1604 number could change due to deferrals, late responses… and the target class size is 1667.</p>

<p>Thanks guys; I feel like an insufferable snob, but it was worth it!</p>

<p>I got 500th? Right?</p>

<p>Yup Gunther, I think the 500th was yours. I call the 10,000th</p>

<p>Welcome! I’m putting college of matriculation in brackets. Please state your own and I’ll add it!</p>

<p>If your name is in bold PLEASE come out and say hi so we can confirm that you are remaining on the waitlist! Thanks!</p>

<p>Updated with wonderful lurkers. More people should come out and join us! (117 people so far; 96 for sure-21 unknown)</p>

<p>USNAgolden2014 stated in the Duke Waitlist thread that she got off Harvard’s waitlist! </p>

<p>Did anyone else get a call from Harvard this week?</p>

<p>Just saw this thread. You can add me to the list (matriculated at Vanderbilt). Thanks.</p>

<p>@dreamhigh,</p>

<p>I think(hope) USNAgolden2014 meant that s/he declined the offer the be on the waitlist. No one has been offered admit from the Harvard WL … yet …</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>My opinion, Bell, is that this is a great sign. I don’t think an admission rep would call your GC unless you’re on the top of their pile. I predict first round with you as long as your recent grades were good and all that.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>That is not what USNAgolden2014 meant. Just not sure if the truth is being told. But s/he is making a good point about fit. Fit > Prestige any day. But I seriously think I have just as much fit with Harvard as at Wash U.</p>

<p>hey i dont want to make anyone nervous but
i have a quick question</p>

<p>a few weeks ago i received a note from the woman who interviewed me, who i think is also on the admissions committee, not exactly REQUESTING more information but telling me if i had anything additional, i should send it to her.</p>

<p>did everyone get these or no? does it mean something good? or is it just not really a big deal?</p>

<p>actually i just checked it again, and it WAS requesting more info. i dont know what to think of this!</p>

<p>Did you send in some additional info? Your interviewer may have wanted you off of the waitlist but wanted to make sure you sent in more information to make it possible.</p>

<p>I JUST GOT A CALL CONGRATULATING ME TO HARVARD!!!
that’s right baby I’m going to Harvard next Fall!
Finally, I never thought Id get in off this crazy wait-list.</p>

<p>Wow, congratulations! What college were you planning on matriculating at before you got the call?</p>

<p>I’m gonna go on a limb and call it ■■■■■■■■</p>

<p>Sorry, but unless a bunch of people start posting similar calls today, I am going to say that Bergertown is just a ■■■■■. Joined today, just posted one topic. It seems a cruel hoax…after 5PM…The first person to hear about WL status is a person that never joined CC until today, never posted until today, and when he/she finds out the first thing s/he does is sign up and post here…Doesnt smell right.</p>

<p>If true, congrats.</p>

<p>If not true, I really do feel sorry for you. What would motivate such behavior?</p>

<p>Edit: Guitar 1 has only 6 posts and yet is believable!</p>
