Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

Did you guys get an email notifying you of the decision date?

@QueenN22

Does anyone know if there’s a chance that admissions will be released at midnight? I hear that sometimes they’re purposefully vague and tend to catch students off guard? Also what’s everyone’s stats?
Here’s mine:

SAT: M800 W770 CR780
SAT II: Math II 740, USH 750, BioM 750
GPA unweighted: 4.00
GPA weighted: 4.45
Class rank: 2/300
Awards: State Debate champion (3 times), go to nationals in quizbowl every year, national merit scholarship semi finalist, boys state member, NHS member
Leadership: debate captain, quiz bowl captain, tutoring service founder, quiz bowl (different team) captain
Research/Work experience: Apple Store 1 year, mechanical engineering 3 years
Volunteering: upwards of 400 hours in the local library

Guys isn’t it crazy that the decisions are already made by now… Like we don’t know yet, but they’re all final and in some excel sheet somewhere. Kind of comforting. Sorry to stress people out but I just considered it!

@BigRig101 whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa bro. Chill. Chancing at the last minute? Really?

@Kasey112 Did you get an email of the decision date?

@boomboom123 I’m not sure if you wanted to say something to me but no I didn’t get an email

@BigRig101 Did you get an email of the decision date?

@BigRig101 we don’t really do stats here because those are more reserved for areas outside of this thread. But no, admissions decisions are released tomorrow at 5

@QueenN22 Oh, I just found it weird becuz all the past years, all my friends in senior year, got an email a few days before their decisions were released. But I havent seen anything from H this year.

Everyone is saying tommorow 5pm. Scroll back through the thread.

17 HOURS 48 MINUTES 2 SECONDS

@QueenN22 Thank you so much!! I’ll try to keep all that in mind, I think the key is connecting to your roots, I just need to make her appreciate her Ethiopian culture more… It’s going to be such a struggle now when I’m away at college because I won’t be able to keep an eye on her, my parents are literally so oblivious to it :(( this is why I need Harvard I’ll be so close to home!!

@Kasey112 I know that, I just found it weird that Harvard didnt email the applicants. I am sure that H does not expect all of its applicants to be CC members lol

Sooo was gone for like 2 hours and had to catch up on like 300 posts lol. Yall crazy.

Yes, FL sucks. I can’t wait to leave.

The end of my commonapp essay (doesnt make any sense out of context, enjoy the whale references):

-jk i was gonna post it because its funny out of context bc its all a metaphor about whales, but i still have schools to apply to RD w/ this essay and i dont want my essay to get flagged for plagiarism bc i posted it on CC for lols

@cheerleader16 yea!! My marine bio prof wrote a supplemental rec for me from SSP in 2014

Ya I guess some people called or whatever. Who knows… I just want them ASAP

Been following this thread for a long time, and with less than 24 hours to go, I figured I’d join in!
On a side note: You all sound like amazing people and I wish us all the best of luck for us all tomorrow!!!

also like 47% of this thread is “wait when do results come out, how do u know tho?”

@lilypippili I hope everything works out! From what little I’ve seen of Ethiopian future, it seems beautiful and your sister should be proud that she comes from a great heritage

@QueenN22 Yes, she really should!! Thanks again :slight_smile:

It’s weird because most other ivies have already sent out emails about the date. My friends applying to Columbia /Penn got emails that it’s tomorrow
