Harvard SCEA Class of 2020 Applicant Thread

I feel like im drowning

@boomboom123 I haven’t reapplied!

I was rejected. I guess I’m not what they’re looking for. :slight_smile:

@TipTop123 yep, Harvard actually recommended it!

Deferred, GG folks.

@Pernix I saw your stats on the stat page, it is really amazing, I don’t get why they would defer a second place Intel when all of your other stats are Harvard average or above.

I mean, it is just one of those WTF decisions when they choose not to admit a national team member.

@Soheils I remember meeting you on your Harvard SCEA vs. Princeton SCEA vs. Duke ED thread. I was one of the people giving you advice on the application process. You seemed like a wonderful applicant, and I’m so glad that you got in. You really deserve it! :slight_smile:

i hate myself

@soph1112 I spent my time until Christmas working to save some extra funds up, and I plan to travel around Europe in the new year with what I’ve saved - there’s so many opportunities available for gap year students, it’s crazy!

@cheerleader16 Don’t let this one letter make you hate who you are.
Some college can’t determine your worth.

Well looks like I’m going to write a bunch of college essays tonight

Deferred

@azwu331 Thanks! I really really appreciate the advice that you guys gave me! I kinda owe my acceptance to you guys who suggested that I apply to Harvard.

I keep refreshing the page, hoping for an acceptance letter to pop up.

Rejected :frowning:

What are you guys doing when you get deferred? Is there anything you can do to make your application better?

@goldenmaster unfortunately same

My portal says I was accepted but I have not received an email.

The first real rejection is the hardest. Time to find other schools that I’ll love more.

@Soheils I don’t want to take credit for your acceptance; it was your application that powered you through! I believe that any school would’ve taken you if you applied. Once again, congratulations on this remarkable achievement! :slight_smile:
