Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

@flautamagica the info about logging into my portal was in the thank tou for applying email! That email was quite long i believe

@leobabytiger ohhhh i misread your post, I thought it said you DIDN’T get that email! Sorry!

@leobabytiger I too have not gotten any other email than the “thank you for applying” one

@flautamagica i guess that goes for everyone then :wink: i was wondering cuz ppl who applied to other colleges from our school (princeton, yale etc) seemed to have received emails regarding their notification date and it was quite weird harvard hadnt sent anything haha

Hey guys, just thought I’d check this thread out as it’s been a year since I was on it! I applied SCEA to Harvard last year (Class of 2019) and was lucky enough to be accepted! I decided to defer my place for a year and take a gap year so I am now officially a member of the Class of 2020 :slight_smile: I’m a guy from England and thought it’d be cool to see who I might be meeting next year! Good luck to everyone and hang in there, this part killed me D:

Alright so I so this on the UPENN ED thread and I thought it was a good idea. All credit goes to @terr24lr
PLEASE READ!

Idk if anyone will have the will power to do my request because come d-day since everyone is going to rush to see their portal and probably check back here afterwards however…i think it would be really cool to do this as the family we have become.

If you can, before opening up the portal on decision say, come here and write down a few words or sentences to your future self. Literally say everything and anything on your mind. Your emotions, where you are at the moment, who is with you etc. Post it. Let it be a documentary for our journey. Tell your future self anything you want. Let it all out. Because believe it or not, this is a pretty pivotal point in our high school careers. Best of luck friends!

(Everyone remind each other Friday come closer to the release date) Thanks!!!

@Britishapplicant Ah congrats!! This is so nerve wracking… check in with us tomorrow lol maybe you’ll meet one of us at Harvard next year!

@QueenN22 That’s actually a great idea thanks for bringing it over here!! We should all do this!!!

@lilypippili Thank you! I remember it like it was yesterday haha, over here because of the time difference it was 10pm :frowning: I will do, hopefully!

@Britishapplicant is there like a different applicant pool that gap students go into?

Good luck everyone! You’re all going to do great things- regardless of the school you go to!
– from the Cornell ED thread

@QueenN22 when you take a gap year you don’t have to reapply. Harvard lets students defer their admission for a year

@QueenN22 they actually encourage students to defer for a year

@Jinxxx I’m a strange one :slight_smile:

Hi everyone! This thread is amazing and you all seem like wonderful people! Is there a specific release date and time, PST? They say “by December 15,” but it seems like you guys know something about a specific time that I don’t!

Thank you and best of luck to you all!
