****Official 2013 Harvard Waitlist Thread****

Hey guys, i thought i wud made this threa since there are about 10 different threads about the same thing!plus they made a thread like this last year and 200 were accepted of the waitlist so perhaps it can bring us luck!!
Also about the questions that are asked several times:
1.Whats the size of the wl?
700-1500 and about 2/3 accept their place on the wl..if anyone has any updates please post.
2.How many will get of the wl?
This year it is most likely that they will take 100-200 ppl.See the Boston Globe article and the Harvard Crimson. We will know for sure in early May 5-10 when Harvard will announce its yield for this year.
3.When will we be notified?
In earlY May until mid June.This a rollin proccess remember.
4.Is there anything that i can o to get of the wl?
You can send updates to the admissions comitee or the adcom for your area. To find out his/her email contact the admissions office.Do not rush to send in updates though,they will start looking in to them in May.You can otherwise halp yourself by conveying ppl not to choose Harvard(joking)

I thought i helped!In the meantime where are you planning to go if not accepted to harvard?

in my country, 3 admitted and i have no clue about # waitlisted

but more importantly//
do any of you guys know if they do the quotas take effect for the waitlist?

ex: if the yield in my country/ international is high, then waitlistees arent even considered... etc

I know of at least one other person in my school who was waitlisted, but I can't give a total number for sure. If I can't get off the waitlist, I'll most likely attend Cornell.

Putting so many kids on waiting list seems very unfair to them. Does anybody have any idea how many were put on the list? It seems to be a lot.

I've narrowed it down to Columbia and MIT as I sit on the waitlist.

ok so i saw this on last years official waitlist thread... so i decided that we should start it and continue doing it because everything is around the place so ill start and please try to remain in alphabetical order and list your state or country if international as well because sometime around May some of us in the list will have a (accepted) followed by their name so good luck to everyone and please continue doing this and copy paste the previous ones to try to include everyone as you add your name....

I tried to keep it going...

My school had six apply, and I was the only one who made the waitlist.
