<p>^ Already been discussed.</p>
<p>@emptynester02: Really? They’re moving a lot more quickly than I thought they would, if that’s the case…:o</p>
<p>I sent my Admissions Officer a physical letter around April 20th. I received this email a little more than a week later:</p>
<p>Paul,</p>
<p>Thank you for your letter of interest. We wont know if we will be able to consider wait list applicants until early next week, but we very much appreciate the interest shown by candidates who decided to remain on Harvard’s waiting-list. Thank you for reaching out,</p>
<p>Bronwen</p>
<p>Bronwen is my Admissions Officer, which I learned the name of from my College Guidance Counselor.</p>
<p>I sent my letter to this address:</p>
<p>Bronwen Evans
Admissions and Financial Aid Office
Harvard College
86 Brattle Street
Cambridge, MA 02138</p>

I received a similar email from my regional rep (socal region)</p>
<p>@ThirstyMonkey - I sent a similar letter a few days after you and never received a response :(. When did you get the email?</p>
<p>Oh, scratch my question, sorry. Now I am worried, though</p>
<p>Hey guys, I’ve been taken off the waitlist at Duke! I’m going to stay on at Harvard, just in case, but I think I’ll be happy either way.</p>
<p>Congrats, lutherjw! </p>
<p>I really just want this whole process to be over (closure, not getting my hopes up, etc.). I am excited for Hopkins, but I can’t help but feel like there’s still an asterisk after what I say whenever I talk about it. I know it shouldn’t be this way, but it is.</p>
<p>Just curious, does Harvard give preference to US citizens over international students on the waitlist?</p>
<p>This is quite the nerve-racking process. I was accepted RD to Swarthmore, and was / am more than excited enough about the place to sadly reject my acceptance to Duke and my waitlist offer from UChicago…but Harvard is still my top choice and, having been rejected by Stanford and Princeton, it’d be beyond wonderful to get accepted off the waitlist. Fingers crossed for everyone!</p>
<p>I know your feeling, skarlaud, it’s as if there’s an asterisk after everything you say about your current school, because, given the opportunity, you’d drop everything and go to Harvard (or another WL school). Anyone want to guess when they’ll get back to us. I’d really like for it to be this week, but I think it won’t be until early next week.</p>
<p>CONGRATS LUTHERJW. Unreal…</p>
<p>I’m probably speculating too much, but is that fact that the Harvard 2015 Facebook group only has 753 members, and only 1252 people have liked Class of 2015 (which anyone could do) potentially a good sign? I got the idea from an old waitlist thread.</p>
<p>no. 10char</p>
<p>Sorry guys, haven’t really been following the thread. Do we know what the yield was like (judging by the past two pages, it seems not)? Any idea when we’ll be finding out?</p>
<p>^I’ve followed waitlist news pretty closely, and I have yet to see any definite info regarding yield. </p>
<p>On another note…
I called the admissions office today and the lady with whom I spoke told me that the committee met today and that they will be accepting students off the waitlist “very soon.” I asked for clarification on what she meant by “very soon,” and she told me it should be in the next few days.</p>
<p>^<em>Dies</em>…</p>
<p>^Same. I thought I should probably stop visiting this site for my own mental health, but if it’s really that close, i doubt I’ll be able to. It’s funny how well I had forgotten about waitlists during most of April and how their imminence has brought them back so strongly.</p>
<p>^^ That is so scary! Ahh I don’t know how to focus on anything now…</p>
<p>/I still haven’t received anything from my regional rep. Should I call and make sure they got my letter, or would that do more harm than good at this point? :(</p>
<p>In past years, there’s been a Crimson article about the yield posted around the second week of May. For reference:</p>
<p>For the class of 2014, the yield article was posted on May 12.
For 2013, it was posted on May 8.
For 2012, it was posted on May 8.</p>
<p>We should be seeing something, at least about the yield, very soon. From there, we can make (better) predictions about how many will be taken off the waitlist.</p>
<p>^^ Being on four waitlists myself, I just have to say that this has to amount to some kind of cruel and unusual punishment…</p>
