Did Harvard ask anyone of you (who didn’t take AP Courses) to submit additional college preparatory grades and scores if available. Does it mean they are interested in knowing further?
P.S this email was received by me around their week of Feb)
@intellectboy you’ll find out just tomorrow
A countdown for everyone.
@bearcon - Wow my situation is identical to yours. Deferred SCEA Princeton, into MIT and Stanford. Got STS semis in between.
Princeton’s RD acceptance rate will be 3.94%. (1908-785)/(29313-785) Could be worse, but my goodness. Harvard’s RD acceptance rate using the same formula (1990-918)/(39044-918) is 2.81%
By the way the formula is the number of people offered admission total last year minus the number accepted EA this year divided by the total applicant pool minus those already accepted.
By comparison Stanford was 3.04%.
Sorry. I do math when I am nervous haha.
This is assuming the yield of applicants accepting the offer is 100%.
I got deferred early action for Harvard, and I am hoping for the best.
@APersonsHistory Wait, Harvard could not admit 918 applicants on SCEA round because it deferred majority, which was in the range 75%-80%
For those of you waiting on multiple Ivy League schools tomorrow, in which order are you going to check them?
@allthingstesla I plan to open them in rough order of interest: Brown, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Cornell (opening last because I got a LL and want to end with good news)
Harvard and Dartmouth for me and that’s it.
In reality, I’ll open them in a crazed frenzy in whichever order my brain decides at the moment.
"Just 14.8 percent of the 6,173 early applicants to Harvard College’s Class of 2020 received acceptance emails on Thursday afternoon, marking the lowest early acceptance rate since Harvard reinstated its early action program in 2011.
While the size of the early action pool increased slightly—about 4.3 percent larger than last year—the acceptance rate fell 1.7 percent, with 918 students receiving offers of admission."

@allthingstesla lol I was just thinking about this
My top two ivys are brown and penn but I dont wanna open them first and then be too sad to open the rest. I don’t think a rejection from Harvard is gonna hurt me lolol. So I think I’m reverse interest but idk I feel like I will want to know Penn first 
Maybe a compromise and open brown first then the others and save Penn for the end
Any ideas?
@APersonsHistory Yeah, if so in SCEA round, Harvard’s acceptance rate was 918/6173 instead of 918/1990.
@APersonsHistory - That’s not true because predicted yield isn’t 100% - the highest is Stanford with something like 80%.
@VaishS Yeah that comprise sounds good. Brown’s decisions are coming out at 5:30 correct?
I’m probably going to open Cornell first (already received a likely), then Dartmouth, then Brown, then Harvard, and then finish off with Columbia (also got a likely) in case I get rejected everywhere else and need to end on a somewhat good note lol. But I might get impatient and just go with whatever comes out first if some decisions are taking a little bit longer. I’m definitely most nervous for my Harvard decision.
I will celebrate no matter what happens tomorrow! I will have closure and now the important stuff happens… time to focus on which college to attend! Good luck to everyone!!!
no likely letters… lol
Anyone doing the WashU thing where you check UPS MyChoice to see if a package was shipped to your house
We just hit a century here… Cheers to all.
