@idkschool - 4:30pm.
california, i called back but no one picked up
They will leave a message - thatās what they did for my D.
@slothqueen Did they leave a message?
It seems like everyone who got a call today got it near 5pm EST - is it possible they didnāt finish all their calls before the end of the day and are still calling people tomorrow? Or is that just wishful thinking?
@Smythe who knows, but considering only like 50 people get calls, it is most likely that they finished. However, not everyone accepts their waitlist. Last year, I read that there have been calls as back as late June. Iām not sure if that was a Z-list tho.
Just curious, how common is it for an Asian computer science major (from south) to accept their place at Harvard? I imagine if they are good enough to get into Harvard, they would probably got accepted by MIT and Stanford too.
no message :ā(
@slothqueen did your portal update?
@slothqueen are you from bay area? (cuz iām from bay area and i havenāt heard back anythingā¦ im very anxious right now)
oh by the way! that call might be a sign for admission! pre congratulations!!
I guess I can give up hope now.
@Hamotron :((
im dropping my expectationsā¦ its harvard anyways
@Wreckdecembersat I know. Itās just hard to give up hope entirely. UMass it is, I guess.
@Hamotron Same! Itās hard to donāt think about itā¦ ahhā¦ The fact that the portal hasnāt changed means that they are probably still going to release more results tomorrowā¦ Good luck!
@Wreckdecembersat Thank you. Best of luck to you as well.
@Hamotron Thank you very much!
@gibby You seem to be very knowledge with great answers. Do you think Harvard would have been able to call/leave messages for all 40 or 50 lucky waitlist candidates today? Just curious as to your opinion. Thanks!
^^ The full Admissions Committee, which is comprised of Admissions Directors and faculty members, totals more than 40 people. I donāt know how many of them are Admissions Officers, but letās say itās split 50-50. If 20 Admissions Directors each made 2 or even 3 phone calls today, itās certainly possible to reach out to 40-50 waitlist candidates. Some waitlist students couldnāt be reached and received a voicemail message, so not much time was involved with some calls. Whether Admissions got through the entire first round today or not, I have no idea.
Iām from LA area/really hoping i am admitted but no expectations for now (donāt want to be extra disappointed)
no portal update :\
@slothqueen 
Keep us updated. Good luck!
