Committee Assemble

<p>Yes. Half of the Admissions Committee is Harvard faculty, so those professors need to be free from their teaching duties for the Full Committee to meet. They could have been meeting in the evenings and weekends before Thanksgiving. The last day of classes before the Thanksgiving break was Tuesday (11/25). So, the Committee could have met on Wednesday (11/26), Friday (11/28), Saturday (11/29) and Sunday (11/30). Classes resumed Monday (12/1) through Wednesday (12/3), so the faculty would have been busy then. Reading period (in which classes do not meet) goes from from 12/4 to 12/10, so the Full Committee will probably be meeting that entire time.</p>
