Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@pernix Well $10 does help you forgot about the pain of being deferred (if you are)! :wink:

My friend sat me down for two hours to convince me that I shouldn’t be worrying about Harvard. BUT WITH A TINY, TINY ACCEPTANCE RATE, I NEED TO WORRY.

I honestly think that unless you are committed to the school/applied, one can’t understand the pressure and anxiety behind decisions. Now that a lot of people know, they’re ALL waiting for a good response. It sucks; my mom gave my essays to almost everyone, so now, they’re waiting for an acceptance. It SUCKS.

@Nervousa Barely. I highly recommend checking out http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcIII/GreensTheorem.aspx and browsing through everything. I’d be dead in my class right now if it wasn’t for Paul here.

UGH I HATE THAT EVERYONE SAYS I’M GOING TO GET IN. I ask why and they’re just like “oh because you’re exactly what they’re looking for…” soo vague and yet I know what they’re thinking is “you’re a minority and you have good grades of course you’ll get in”. Like I would love to get in obviously but I feel like they’re invalidating everything that I’ve worked for :frowning:

also if I get rejected it will suck having to tell everyone that… they’re all waiting like 100% sure I’ll get in

@WTylerL yeah I sent in my chem and bio ones. You could email them or something to ask if it’s okay to send the tests after the deadline… That’s what I had to do for one of my subject tests for BU

@tuty143 :frowning: I’ve heard terrible things about catholic school… luckily I escaped after first grade LOL

but it’s almost over!! And if you get in this thursday you’re basically done :slight_smile:

Ugh…so much stress. I WANT TO JUST BE A CAT. LET ME LIVE.

OMG. Let’s change the subject I just got super nervous and upset imagining having to tell everyone I got deferred/rejected

Have you guys checked out the FB page for this? It’s ridiculous, so many trolls all over the place making fun of people’s test scores and shit. Makes me grateful we have this thread to actually get us through this stressful time!

@schroscat omg ever since I got my cats like four years ago I’ve been saying that
WHY CAN’T I BE A CAT LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH EASIER

@lilypippili Yep. I get the same thing for my GPA. People think that number alone is what will get me into places, but no matter what I tell them, they simply won’t be persuaded .-.

also, Asian male. GG :slight_smile:

@flautamagica I didn’t know that was a thing. applied to join just now. Inb4 deferred from acceptance into facebook group .-.

@lilypippili I WON’T EVEN NEED TO WORRY ABOUT COLLEGE. I can just sleep…a lot. What a wonderful world!!!

I also don’t really like the FB page. We actually care here.

@lilypippili Well thats a relief to hear- agreed.

FB page is all trolls lol

sendin all my care, all my luv, all my tidings to u smoll gremlins. benevolent b4 the hour. martyrs 2 the steak. kyrie, eleison.

someone slide into my DMs so I don’t have to do physics

@smollhuman DO YOUR HOMEWORK OR THY SHEEPS WILL GET YOU

and tbh im not terrified of getting rejected because that in itself will make me feel bad, but rather because I’d hate having to tell people I was rejected. i don’t think anyone would be upset with or disappointed in me, but at the same time it would be so nice to be able to tell my mom im going to harvard, ya know?

@giraffeinatree I COMPLETELY AGREE! I mean, I understand how much of a crapshoot this is, so I’m fine with being deferral. (Or so I tell myself) It sucks having to tell people.
