| Aight so I just got an e-mail from Harvard telling me today midnight is the last day to get on the waitlist. I took my spot on the waitlist today. Just venturing a guess, does this mean Harvard is planning to use the waitlist option more than expected considering the fact that they bothered to not only give me an e-mail but also an extension since May 1 was supposedly the due date? |

| Does anyone have predictions as to when we will find out the official yield? Didn't the Crimson post an article last year indicating that Harvard would take ~30 from the waitlist? | |

| My prediction has really changed in the last few days. I seem to know wayyy too many people that have turned down H, and I think yield will be around 75%, with around 100-150 taken off the waitlist. | |

| hahaha no.. as in like 2/5 of the people I've talked to (I'd say like, 4 or 5 total?). But assuming that they have the same yield, then that's still leave around 100 spots open. And, if you think about it, it's not like other competitors didn't overhaul their fin. aid | |

| Yahoo answers had following data for 2007
"Of the approximately 700-1000 waitlisted last year, 81 were accepted. Of the 700-1000, about 2/3 reply for waitlisting. The other 1/3 who do not are not considered in Harvard's decision among the waitlisted applicants. Decisions usually arrive by May 31."
Is this accurate? | |

| I think yield will remain at 80%, I think that 75% is too low a prediction. Regardless, I want to find out sooner rather than later! | |
