Why December 10th?

<p>Hey everyone! I just recently discovered this forum, and I have to say, I’ve gotten addicted. </p>

<p>I’m also applying to Harvard EA, and I was wondering, how does everyone know that we find out on the 10th? </p>

<p>Hm, I always thought it was the 15th…</p>

<p>I'm not sure-- I think that it is either the 10th or the 15th. I seriously hope that it is the 10th-- that way I can get on with my life sooner if I am deferred/rejected and not harbor false hopes of getting into Harvard anymore.</p>

<p>Last year it was December 11. The trend seems to be the second Friday in December.</p>

<p>Agreed. And we also have to send out those other applications quickly if Harvard doesn't work out. </p>

<p>The Adcom has probably made 70%+ of its decisions by now! They should just let us know as soon as they finish reviewing our folders. Ha, I wish.</p>

<p>AHHHHHHHH! I still haven't done my interview. I already called a Harvard alum who told me to wait for a call from someone else. That person hasn't called me yet. Will they make the decision without the interview then? Does this hurt my chances-- it isn't my fault?</p>

<p>To clarify, I called the Harvard alum last week, who told me to wait another week for someone else to call me.</p>

<p>Okay, so you called Harvard and got the number of the local alumnus? Hmm, well, I don't think it'll hurt you if you can't get an interview--at least that's what it says in the Harvard catalog. </p>

<p>I would think, if your application was stellar, Harvard may have already decided, with or without the interview.</p>

<p>I didnt have an interview either. I called Harvard and they gave me the phone number of the St. Louis Area interview coordinator, who has yet to call me back. At first i figured it might be because I was already rejected, but i find it shocking that a valedictorian with a 1560, 800/770/750 SAT II's and a lot of extracurriculars could get rejected without an interview. I just hope they dont defer me soley because i havent had an interview. But then again, i geuss we have somethign to blame our deferrals on (it isnt our fault we didnt get in, its the interviewers LOL)</p>
