Harvard SCEA 2024 Applicant Discussion!

Just got my interview today! Is there any discernible meaning from this?

No. Read nothing into it.

Do you mean you got an email to set up an interview or that you just had your interview. Im just curious since I still havent gotten an email.

Received invite via email today. @Zay123

Hi @patssox2019
Hope your interview goes well!

Is your interviewer an admissions officer?

Does anyone know how to send Harvard an updated senior course load? It says under admissions tips that they want to be updated if your schedule changes but doesn’t say how to update them :confused:

@Prisoner9430 I’m pretty sure you can upload them to the portal.

Hi everyone!
I’m an international applicant from Malawi and have not been contacted for an interview yet. Should I be worried?

Our area admissions officer said it was December 12. In the recent past, results have been released on the portal at 7 pm Eastern time.

@jazzing, Thank you for the valuable information.

Have anyone received interview notification yet?

Does anyone know when Harvard will officially announce when SCEA decisions are coming out?

@student628189 probably 2 days before

Hi! (Ignore my username, made this in 8th grade) So, I know that right now is the time that a lot of EA/ED comes out. A year and 11 days ago, I was accepted Early Action to Harvard. It was everything. The moment of opening up that letter and seeing the words, “Congratulations!” was some kind of magic that I’m not sure I’ll feel for a while. I can only hope that all of you get that feeling - either in the coming days or months.

But, take a step back.

You have been working for four years. You have been grinding and sacrificing and feeling inadequate and doubting and crying for four years. You, my friend, are something special and any college would be lucky to have you. Those hours that you stayed up trying to understand a concept that you weren’t sure you’d ever get? Amazing, you did that. The long hours putting your heart and soul into a club? Absolutely incredible. The moments where you looked around and realized that you weren’t the smartest in the room and you kept going? You’re a star. The moments where you failed and it felt horrible? Who has the strength to push through that? You do.

What those words say on that status update don’t change that. Nothing that any college can do will take away from that. The college application process is often described as a game. And sure, you can play your cards right and give yourself the best chances by doing X or writing about X and having X score but at the end of the day, it comes down to some admissions officers in a room in an hour. Everyone I’ve met in the past few months here come from wildly different backgrounds and lives and experiences and that’s what makes college amazing. No one candidate will get in nor will one candidate be the type to get rejected.

So, breathe. Hug your friends and your family. You’ll miss them. Explore your hometown. Get off this website and close the A2C Reddit. Look in the mirror and remind yourself of the amazing human being you are and how incredible it is that you’re taking steps to plan for your future. Open up the letters and breath and remember all that you did to get yourself to this point.

You all deserve the world + I wish you the best in the coming months. (If y’all have questions about Harvard, feel free to PM me)

@Danishlady Thanks!

Does anyone know when Harvard REA comes out?

I heard this weekend from a friend who has connections but idk

does anyone know the date that the decision is coming out? I know it says by dec 15 but was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of the day that its coming out

It will likely come out the 12th or the 13th based on the CSS profile and previous years. We won’t know for sure until we get the official notification from Harvard a couple of days before decisions are released. Best of luck to everyone!

if anyone hears anything please tell chat! thank you
