<p>My daughter applied to Harvard. She had an interview which she felt went well.</p>
<p>So when will kids be notified? and how (via email or snail mail)? and are financial aide letters sent out at the same time?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Your daughter will be notified on March 29, 5 pm EST by email if she signed up for that. She will also receive a letter (or package); if she is admitted, a financial aid offer will be included in the welcome package.</p>
<p>my son will be graduating this year from Harvard. 4 years ago, he was notified via email at approx. 2:00 pm (California time). a formal packet will arrive within the week after notification. Good luck!</p>
<p>I think it’s weird that they haven’t gone to portal sign ins yet as most schools do</p>
<p>I think email is a better system. For EA, Yale’s portal crashed. It took me about ten minutes to see my decision. It was brutal. Sending decisions via email should avoid that problem.</p>
<p>^Not always, unfortunately. For Michigan EA, they sent out emails over 3 days which made it horrible for the later ones. And for some reason you received your email two hours after it was sent. For example, mine was time stamped at 9:30 PM (supposed to go out at 5) and I didn’t receive it until 11:30 PM. Hopefully Harvard will be better!</p>
<p>Yale did crash, but it wasn’t as long as some people wait for the email to get to them, sadly.</p>
<p>You can always just check the admitted students website - much faster than email.</p>
<p>I didn’t know that existed. I may have to do that. </p>

<p>How does that work? You can tell if you were admitted by whether or not you can log in?</p>
<p>yes! you can check it here- [Harvard</a> College Admissions § Application Status Login](<a href=“http://collegeadmissions.fas.harvard.edu/admitted/login.cgi]Harvard”>http://collegeadmissions.fas.harvard.edu/admitted/login.cgi) 
all the best!</p>
<p>@esney not necessarily. Last year, I didn’t find out about my acceptance until 5 hours after they were emailed</p>

Hmmm I guess in theory you would be able to tell if you were accepted by logging in but the site itself said “Please note: This site does not provide admissions decisions. It is a portal with information for admitted students only. If you requested an email decision, it will be sent to the email address on file.” </p>
<p>Sooooo…I don’t know.</p>
<p>It’s true that the admitted students’ website doesn’t “provide admissions decisions”, but… it does let people know whether or not they were accepted.
My friend successfully logged in a little after SCEA decisions came out, because she couldn’t wait for the email…</p>
<p>Has anybody who applied RD successfully logged in?</p>
<p>@DrumMajor:
Anyone who says “yes” is lying. Decisions will not come out until the 29th of March, as much as you’d like to wish otherwise.</p>
<p>Phew.
Ok good. I couldnt log in and it was freaking me out.</p>
<p>Since this is an admitted students log in, if you can’t log in after March 29th, you’re pretty much rejected? This is, of course, assuming the email doesn’t come first.</p>
<p>Rejected or waitlisted, yeah…</p>
<p>That’s really nice of Harvard. :p</p>
