The Harvard Waitlist Waiting Room 2014 Thread

<p>Sounds good to me. And, it seems like Thursday is the day, Wednesday at the earliest.</p>

<p>Wick123, can I add you to our list of waitlistees?</p>

<p>Thanks for the information Hoomaikai. Hurray! Someone got off the waitlist! It’s interesting that they offered someone a spot on the Z-list before figuring out the regular waitlist offers. Good luck to us all in the coming days!</p>

<p>-Optimism!</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! (126 people so far; 105 for sure-21 unknown)</p>

<p>1 Accepted; 126 in Limbo; 0 Rejected</p>

<p>Another thought; I am a rather trusting person. Given that, I don’t think we should dismiss VassarMom’s claim out of hand. She has posted in CC before and all her posts make sense. If anyone has an objection, speak up but if not then I I think I should add her to the list as ‘accepted’. Any response?</p>

<p>if we accept that post then what will you do with “netthreat” who is right?</p>

<p>Am I misreading netthreat’s post, or is he claiming to have called vassarmom and told her that her daughter was accepted to Harvard? How would he have gotten her phone number? I am not going to add VassarMom for a while, all I am saying is that she seems more believable than has been suggested.</p>

<p>@qizixite,</p>

<p>Why not wait to see if HurtLocker gets a response …</p>

<p>Yeah, you can add me to the list. For now, I’m off to Notre Dame. As to VassarMom, It seems odd that she got the call at the time she did, and that she’s the only one who’s said she got the call. Also, did she get an e-mail? I don’t know.</p>

<p>Where does it say that she got the call at 5:25 AM? She could have gotten the call the night before. I won’t add her to the list, but she seems like a very believable person (to me) for now.</p>

<p>I find it hard to believe netthreat because of ID caller, when Harvard calls it shows “Harvard University” and the 617 area code. I believe all of us would be aware of that.
I don’t know what to make of the VassarMom…</p>

<p>Good luck to all!!!</p>

<p>no offense, but are you serious? or has the anxiety just blinded your critical reading skills?</p>

<p>what netthreat said was actually really funny and obviously sarcastic…let’s all just relax.</p>

<p>was lurking [Penn] but, sorry, i could not ignore that…</p>

<p>True. I’m just wondering why she didn’t ever say anythign about an e-mail and why she’s the only one… it seems odd. But, I guess not completely unbelievable.</p>

<p>And, I agree with alice. I thought it was fairly obvious. You know, like, “I mean, I was calling people at 5 in the morning.” Say it with sarcasm. Makes sense.</p>

<p>@alice munro and wick123</p>

<p>I guess my anxiety level is too high to find humor in it. Now that you called me on it I guess it is :slight_smile:
I’m just a mom, and I need to pay for housing and orientation in less than 2 weeks…</p>

<p>As to whether VassarMom is legit, I believe Plumazul’s post #1207 provides the best analysis. The odds of coming off both Harvard’s and Brown’s waitlist on the same day and being among the first to come off both of those waitlists seems remote to me.</p>

<p>OMG I JUST GOT OFF THE WAITLIST I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!!</p>

<p>i’ve been a CC lurker for awhile now and have been checking this thread for awhile but never made a username…i didn’t expect a call at all today i honestly cannot believe this and started crying when i got the call i am like shaking right now haha</p>

<p>i got a call on my home phone from my admissions representative she told me i have about a week to decide and will be getting an email shortly</p>

<p>good luck everyone else!! dreams do come true :)</p>

<p>Of course everyone who gets off the waitlist just happens to be someone who has never posted on this thread before… what a coincidence!</p>

<p>i am serious i wouldn’t post on this thread to be annoying and to mess with you guys i understand how annoying it is to be reading through this thread and checking it a lot…that was what i was doing these past few weeks but i’ve just never been someone to post before</p>

<p>the reason i’m posting now is to let you guys know that they did start calls today…choose to believe me if you want</p>

<p>@collegeahh28 - Congratulations! I understand joining CC only after you got in; I did the same thing when I got into college in April. Getting in just makes you so excited that you want to tell the world! </p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, where were you planning to go before you got the call?</p>

<p>collegeahh28</p>

<p>Congrats. You sound believable to me. I know whether I ever posted or not, the minute a person finds out they can’t wait to tell someone. When my son got accepted at Yale, we were sitting around saying “Who can we call now?” cause we were so proud. Again…Go CollegeAhh28</p>
