Decision date?

I know the official date for decisions is April 1, but does anyone know if Harvard mails decisions prior to that date?

we can check the decision on march 31st (that's a monday, i think), at anywhere from 2:00 to 6:00 pm; it will be e-mailed, or so i've been told

Wow, they make us wait until the last minute. So much for finding out a bit earlier.

It's March 31, 5 PM EST.

Ah, I've heard that although decisions are mailed on that day,
the earliest one will receive it is on April 1, T/F?

True, the mail takes at least a day to arrive at local Mass. addresses, and more days for more distant locales.

Darn, so I guess it would be better to just suck it up and check one's e-mail, rather than wait under extreme anxiety for a whole day or more.

If you can log into the accepted students site that evening, you're in.

whats the accepted students site?

QuixoticRick · 03-06-2008, 10:46 PM

My guess is that it will be an updated version of this page or something similar.
