<p>@NewAccount and Fatum: I got the application e-mail today, but I don’t get how to access my application status. i requested to receive an access code, but haven’t heard anything. how did you guys login?</p>
<p>If anyone wanted to know, I received my notification e-mail that Harvard has received my app (: and I requested an ID. This is so exciting!</p>
<p>I think I will check my admission status in order, when they come in early April (or late March, right?) I don’t want to get my hopes up because I’m international, but it’s still good to send positive vibes LOL Yes, Fatum, it does sound like “The Secret”. When I first read the book, I was expecting some huge secret, but then it said something along the lines of: be positive-and that’s the secret, folks! hahaha</p>
<p>Everyone who wanted to apply to Harvard this year (ED and RD, not transfer) will have done so by now. Good luck to us all!</p>
<p>Is anyone taking one last test this month? I am. hehe</p>
<p>ok. got the code. logged in. everything seems to be in order. </p>
<p>RainbowSprinkles, I promised myself I would not do anything college-related after Jan 1. ALthough I really need to improve on my test scores, I am not taking any test. I’m done - worn out and energy-less. Good Luck to you!!</p>
<p>Phew. Okay, I just got my access code, too. I just need to take one last subject test this month to fulfill the requirement, but all the “required documents” are there. I wonder when they’ll read my app (: This is so exciting!</p>
<p>@ RainbowSprinkles: I’m probably even more nervous than you are, since it’s likely that they’ve already read mine (I submitted my app REALLY early)…</p>
<p>^ahhh that <em>is</em> scary. Well, I’m sure your app was great! I sent mine in on the 28th, so they won’t read it for a while, prob.</p>
<p>@Fatum - It takes some time for the admissions officers to put together your file, so submissions don’t always reflect immediately on the site.</p>
<p>Got my Harvard email today, so I set up my account and everything. Also got the email regarding my interview, which I still have to respond to for some reason. haha</p>
<p>Well I’m kind of late joining this thread, but I applied too! I sent it back in November. And to those who have just recently submitted, it does take a while for submissions to reflect on the account - don’t worry!
Have many people set up their interview yet?</p>
<p>My interviewer emailed me on Saturday and said he wanted the interview to happen within 7 days, and I emailed him back the next day and said that Wednesday would be good, and now he hasn’t emailed me back…so I don’t know what to do.</p>
<p>Thanks fallenangel! phew~</p>
<p>And Rainbow, my teacher once referred to The Secret as “you wish for something and it becomes true! I love it. <em>insert sarcastic tone here</em>” lool. Glad to see people here who know “the secret” XD.</p>
<p>Regarding Harvard interviews – does date of application submission affect whether or not I’m interviewed? I thought Harvard followed a procedure similar to Yale’s–no interviews unless the application was received before a certain date.</p>
<p>Truthfully, I’ll admit I intentionally submitted a few of my applications toward the end of December with the specific goal of avoiding interviews. I don’t like them. I still have traumatic memories of 3-hour interviews for boarding school admissions. (And I still don’t understand why any lawyer feels the need to <em>cough</em>interview<em>cough</em>interrogate<em>cough</em> a 12-year-old for 3 hours.)</p>
<p>Then again, I live in the middle of no where, so I probably have nothing to fear. Except I know several Harvard alumni in the area…but none of them are interviewers…o.O</p>
<p>Timing does have an effect, but there’s no cutoff like Yale SCEA.</p>
<p>Interview set up for January 22nd. :D</p>
<p>I kind of regret not checking “Yes” for receiving an e-mail for admission decision, but I’m also glad because I would rather wait a few days and open up a letter than open an e-mail. RD decisions are mailed starting April 1, right? And everybody gets a letter via snail mail?</p>
<p>How would you contact admissions to update them - for example for a new award or performance or EC recognition or similar?</p>
<p>^preferably via mid year report</p>
<p>^^ But that is from the school. I am actually talking about an EC recognition?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Is there a cutoff for Yale SCEA? I submitted my application on November 1st (the very last day possible) and received an interview.</p>
<p>@ Aniger: Tell your son to send an email to <a href=“mailto:fileroom@fas.harvard.edu”>fileroom@fas.harvard.edu</a> with any new updates.</p>
<p>Mail is better for application updates. Those email addresses are usually only for errors or changes in key contact information.</p>
