<p>Vince, where are you going in the fall?</p>
<p>@DarkDwarf and @Fatum:</p>
<p>I called Admissions earlier today to see if I could confirm that they received my supplementary materials. The woman who answered the phone told me that they do not track any supplemental materials, and the only way to ensure that they receive it is to send it by Delivery Confirmation.</p>
<p>^ O: What’s delivery confirmation? like mail…?</p>
<p>@Fatum, you can send something to them by USPS certified mail, return receipt requested, or use their express or priority mail requesting return receipt confirmation. Also, you can use courier services like FedEx or UPS and request delivery confirmation. The confirmation you receive will be from the service you use to send the supplementary materials, not from Harvard. But, if you email Harvard & put everything in the body of your email, I believe you get a reply indicating they have received your materials & will place them in your file (note, they do not open attachments so everything has to be in the body of your email).</p>
<p>Does anybody know when the yield will be announced, so we know whether there’s actually any hope? It seemed as if everyone was waiting for the first of May, but it’s passed with no news. Also, to those above, I’ve emailed a letter of intent and an update with third quarter grades to my regional admissions officer and received responses for each within one business day. I’d try email if you’re concerned.</p>
<p>I sent my in my updates and letter of intent via e-mail and received an automated response telling me they would print the e-mail and put it in my file.</p>
<p>@subtleusername - in the last couple of years an article has been published on The Crimson, Harvard’s online newspaper website, about a week or two into May, so next week is when we’re likely to hear some news from Mr. Fitzsimmons and co.</p>
<p>I emailed a document attached and my rep received it I’m pretty sure…</p>
<p>^I also attached a PDF file containing the updates and Harvard said they had printed it and added it to my file.</p>
<p>I never received any response and also sent via e-mail…Where did you guys send it to??? the college@ e-mail??</p>
<p>^I’m an international student, so I sent it to <a href=“mailto:intladm@fas.harvard.edu”>intladm@fas.harvard.edu</a></p>
<p>Hey guys do you know if it’s alright that I sent it in via snail mail?I sent it way before may 1 so I know it got there I just don’t know if they will accept it since it was via regular mail to the admissions office?</p>
<p>^I think that’s perfectly fineee. :)</p>
<p>My regional officer never got back to me…maybe I should’ve sent to her personal email instead of the college@ one. :O</p>
<p>Hey same problem as above. I’m an international student who was told when phoning the admissions office to email it to the <a href=“mailto:college@fas.edu”>college@fas.edu</a> (or whatever the latter part is ) email; with the name of my regional rep in the subject line. I got no confirmation email. Should I now send to the international students email?</p>
<p>My son sent a letter and update to his admissions officer and then called to make sure it was received. He did get a chance to speak to the admissions officer and was told his info was received. Today he received an email from the admissions officer stating that the info he sent will be included in his file for all the admissions officers to see when they get together next week for waitlist meetings. This is implying they will be going to the waitlist this year.</p>
<p>I just called and was told that Harvard does not confirm “supplementary materials”, and that my stuff was received. However, the person who I spoke to on the phone had no way of confirming that the admissions office had received my stuff. Feels like an endless circle.</p>
<p>I’d say emailed materials are received for sure, and one can check for registered mails. I sent a copy of the email to the intladm email and got an (automatedly-generated) reply. Still nothing from regional admo…</p>
<p>@emptynester: REALLY?! So they are actually beginning to consider us now? wowww</p>
<p>Just to make sure, it’s too late to send anything to our officers, right? We should’ve done it by May 1st? I’m extremely happy with my current school, but the idea of possibly being accepted to Harvard is tempting.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it just kind of annoy an admissions officer to call and ask if they’ve received stuff? I mean, maybe not, but if they haven’t received it, it’s not going to do any good, anyway, and I think I would be kind of irritated by students constantly calling to check if their letter has been received</p>
<p>The College did not disclose the number of students placed on Harvard’s waitlist.</p>
<p>While Fitzsimmons said numbers vary from year to year, he said his office generally hopes to accept 50 to 125 students off the list.</p>
