Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@james1998iq I don’t really have traditional “Safeties” because I have already been accepted to some international schools that I would choose over a US safety. I applied to Michigan early hoping to hear some good news to supplement potentially so-so news from Harvard, but turns out they’re known for deferring nearly all applicants, especially OOS.

@james1998iq I really like Boston University and UMass Amherst!

@GrapePocky I’m looking at UMass Amherst as well!

@tuty143 Since finishing high school a few weeks ago, wine has become such a cool way to de-stress while waiting for all my university decisions and scholarships haha

guys i feel so weird like i’ve been waiting for this decision forever and now it’s only three days away…

@archaeologygirl I feel weirder. As the date comes closer I get less stressed :confused: Not sure why but this morning I was in the greatest mood (it’s a monday so that is peculiar) and I slept like a rock last night. Not sure what that says about me but honestly it’s much better than the alternative of intense stress.

@pubkid I’m actually in the same exact position, I absolutely love Michigan and applied early but looking at last years results thread they deferred practically everybody so I’m terrified

@james1998iq Right? They also reject and waitlist a lot of overqualified applicants… multiple of my friends at top schools didn’t get in. Probably has to do with yield.

@pubkid in my hails interview (i’m considering engineering) i told them it was my top choice, which really isn’t all that far off from the truth (past harvard anyways). so I’m really hoping they look at that… Friend who got into Harvard was rejected last year. Scary stuff

Do you guys know when they are going to release decisions? I saw on another thread that they were going to be released on December 11th. Is this true? I have heard December 15th is the release date

December 10th 5pm EST

Guys I’m so freaking nervous!

I was looking through the Stanford group on Facebook out of curiosity and omg it was hilarious; for example, someone said something like “i wrote my application on the back of a trash can lid, will stanturd accept this??”

@expertiger hey guys, long time lurker here. Joined to say that I love the playlist. What is everyone doing to stay calm? I just went to a concert over the weekend

@nearea going to a lot of dinners with my mom.

@nearea working on my various IAs -_-

Thanks @goldenmaster I will be eagerly awaiting the date!

Has Harvard asked any of you for first quarter grades?

Nope

@gearsstudio Yeah they requested mine last week. Did they just ask for yours? :slight_smile:
