It shouldn't matter. I read somewhere that Harvard tries to replace the student with a waitlisted student similar to the one not accepting the offer. So, if someone similar to you happens to not accept their offer then you would be looked at favorably.

I wish I could remember where I read it, but I do know that Harvard does not have waitlists in any particular order. So in other words, no one is #1, #2 etc.

Letter of Acceptance

S sent off letter of acceptance to GWU, still hopeful to be chosen off of the Harvard wait-list.

How's everyone feeling?

Where did everyone accept?

Did you see the news on the underground fire at the Harvard campus yesterday morning?

Believer:
I'm feeling optimistic, but you've gotta be realistic too. It IS Harvard, after all. I'm happy with Cornell, where I've got a really nice research scholarship.

Some people on the admissions forum are saying that Harvard has began to use the waitlist. Has this been, at all, confirmed? I doubt that they would have taken anyone this soon ... I smell bs.

i'm doubting these rumors... harvard tends to be the last one to go to its waitlist

If the rumors are somehow true, that would probably signal that harvard was wayyy too ambitious in predicting its yield and realized that it wasn't gonna be like 85%

Guys, it is not a rumor. I know for a fact that one of my friends got off the wait list. She got the Harvard email and joined the network on facebook just now too (Harvard gives out their emails early... it's not fair). It's legit, although she is the only case I've heard of so far.

08senior08: You said earlier that your friend was called on Saturday. So they also sent an email to confirm it? So the committtee might be working on Saturdays?
I thought I read somewhere that the ad com was convening on May 9th.
She must have been on the top of the pile somehow.
