Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@giraffeinatree oh my GOD YES they’re like hamster/piglet hybrids with yellow felt cutouts for noses and ears it’s RIDICULOUS

@tuty143 ayye lmao congrats!

@tuty143 yahhh! Congrats

@tuty143 Congrats!
@smollhuman I didn’t get an email about interviews, either. eh.

@pubkid Duke is amazing for economics. I will likely apply there if I’m deferred from Harvard. Plus it’s in Durham, which is a pretty large city.

I LOVE THIS THREAD AND ALL OF YOU

Regarding the gap: it is 5 lines for me, but there are also 5 other lines between the “upload” button and “Account tools”, so from this symmetry I will bet that this is just some styling, rather than indication of decision.

and so the gap mystery is solved.

@tuty143 love you tu!! (ty143)

So much love in the air.

@smollhuman I am applying to UChicago if I am deferred — I love it too! Unfortunately their econ program is pretty conservative/pretty focused on finance. For development econ specifically, it’s Harvard, Columbia or bust.

@expertiger I don’t know much about Duke, never really considered the South. What are your favorite things about it? I don’t think it’s the best fit for an LGBT liberal but you never know :slight_smile: Obviously college areas are typically liberal anywhere

@QueenN22 those darn trees. Getting in the way of the educations.

Also: my AP Calc, AP Chem, and AP Econ teachers decided to assign a test for Friday.
How evil is that? PRETTY DARN EVIL.

@expertiger hahah that joke just killed me.

Also, advice. My next decision comes at 1AM my time on Thursday. So I either stay up Wednesday night and allow myself to sleep on it or wake up to it on Thursday. Don’t typically like waking up to these things because they take some time to process/I’d rather not process during a calc test that I have that morning, but I’m kind of undecided still…

@pubkid Take a nap until 1 am

Three AP tests in one day? Pfft easy lol

I know it would be super hard but I say wait until after the calc test. Obviously you would be stressed and kindof thinking about it but finding out that news would just distract you all day, good or bad. So I would wait a little bit, if you can bear it haha.

@Jinxxx Nothing like an easy day in high school!

@Jinxxx last year I had 5 AP tests in one day. Tears were shed.
