<p>does anybody from last year or EA remember what the subject line of their email was? Does ist already give away the decision like "Congratulations" or "Rejection" (I doubt that...)</p>
<p>For EA, the subject read: Early Action Decision
So I think for RD it must read: Regular Action Decision</p>
<p>Btw, can anyone tell if they're different for accepted and rejected/waitlisted applicants. Do accepted applicants receive emails with the subject Congratulations! and the rest receive otherwise?</p>
<p>I think it's the same title line for all emails. A little too anxious to actually open the email, are we?</p>
<p>Andy is right about the specific title/subject lines, and I believe they are the same for accepted and rejected students.</p>
<p>Haha, well, go figure. I doubt any college would send an email reading:</p>
<p>"Don't even bother opening this..."</p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>"Sorry, try again next year!"</p>
<p>i saw this on CC earlier</p>
<p>"Re: jected"</p>
<p>I was actually thinking about this-I would prefer there to be a "Congratulations!" in the subject line, so I wouldn't be as anxious.</p>
<p>I chose to get the email decision, but I may actually wait for the letter (because I would be able to tell by the envelope). I like the prospects of a letter better than an email (I guess an email seems very informal).</p>
<p>email = tense... imagine turning on ur comp and the tension of clicking the thing. its like soo much work hingeing on one finger click.</p>
<p>Exactly my point IVY.</p>
<p>And I am already in a really good school (BC) via EA.</p>
<p>I can't imagine how a deferee would feel in the next few weeks with no acceptances yet (unless via rolling admissions).</p>
<p>the subject lines are the same. the "we are delighted" is in the first line, though, so there isnt much reading to be done before you know.</p>
<p>"We are delighted to inform you that your application has been thouroughly reviewed and a decision has been made! We are sorry to inform you that you have been rejected from Harvard University..."</p>
<p>lol how funny crimsondreams.</p>
<p>that would suck.</p>
<p>I think it's either "We are delighted..." or "We reget to inform you..."</p>
<p>The email this year, after the "Dear X:" part, began like this:</p>

<p>Mr. Christopher Francis Murphy
Dear Mr. Murphy,
I am delighted to inform you that the Committee on Admissions and Financial
Aid has voted to offer you a place in the Harvard Class of 2009. Following
an old Harvard tradition, a certificate of admission is enclosed. Please
accept my personal congratulations for your outstanding achievements.</p>
<p>This year nearly twenty-three thousand students applied for the sixteen
hundred and fifty places in the entering class. Faced with many more
talented and highly qualified candidates than it had room to admit, the
Admissions Committee took great care to choose individuals with exceptional
character as well as unusual academic and extracurricular strengths. The
Committee is convinced that you will make important contributions during
your college years and beyond.</p>
<p>Our faculty and students extend a special invitation for you to visit
Cambridge over the next few weeks. If you feel a visit would be helpful in
making your final college choice, we hope you will take advantage of this
opportunity. An invitation is enclosed.</p>
<p>We need to know by May 3 (an extension of the normal May 1 deadline due to
the late date of our visiting weekend) whether or not you plan to accept
our offer of admission and have enclosed a return postcard to facilitate
your reply. If you accept admission for this coming September, further
information will be sent to you over the summer by the Freshman Dean's
Office. Each year some admitted students choose to defer entrance for a
year and find their many and varied experiences extremely rewarding. If
you would like to defer, please tell us about your alternative plans.</p>
<p>Among the enclosed materials you will find a final School Report Form,
which must be completed by your school counselor and returned to us at the
end of this academic year. The Committee on Admissions reserves the right
to withdraw its offer of admission under certain conditions described on
the postcard enclosed for your response.</p>
<p>We have a longstanding commitment to meet the financial needs of our
admitted students. No limit has been set on the financial resources
devoted to making the College fully accessible to all students of promise,
and we have a firm policy of making supportive offers of need-based
financial aid. We encourage you to contact us now or at any time during
your years here if you have questions or concerns about financial aid or if
you have additional information that might be helpful to us in
understanding your family's financial circumstances.</p>
<p>I very much hope that you will decide to join us at Harvard. We have
enclosed a statement about Harvard's opportunities which might be helpful
to you in making your college choice. Whatever your decision may be, you
have my best wishes for every future success.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
William R. Fitzsimmons
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid</p>
<p>This e-mail message is sent for your convenience. A letter sent by post
will confirm the decision of the Harvard College Admissions Committee.</p>
<p>And the subject line is "Early Action Decision" for EA applicants.</p>

<p>Dear Mr. Murphy,
The Committee on Admissions has just completed its Early Action meetings
during which your application for admission was reviewed. After very
careful consideration, we were unable to take a definite action on your
candidacy at this time and therefore have deferred our decision until the
regular spring meetings.</p>
<p>Please be assured that your entire application will be considered again
thoroughly. While it is impossible to predict individual admission
decisions, in recent years students whose applications were deferred have
been admitted at various rates, at times close to those for Regular Action
candidates. We will communicate the Committee's decision to you in April.</p>
<p>We hope you will write to us if you have new information to add to your
application materials. Recent grades or test results, activities, honors,
or other accomplishments would be of interest to the Committee as it
reviews your application again in the spring meetings.</p>
<p>Please let us know if we can be of further assistance. You have our best
wishes for a rewarding and productive year.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
William R. Fitzsimmons
Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid</p>
