how and when of notification

<p>I think I’m just going to wait for the email no matter how long it takes. I feel like checking the applicant portal would still leave doubts in my mind and such, better for whatever it is to be final.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ll likely be too anxious about my six other schools to be worried about Harvard.</p>

<p>i feel like if i can’t log in i’ll be like “maybe… i did my pass key wrong?”</p>

<p>I received the SCEA decision email TWO days later. Not my favorite experience.</p>

<p>The website [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) is for Admitted Students only. You cannot access Harvard’s decision through it and if you did not request the email notification, you wait for snail mail. Read what the Admitted Students Portal says:</p>

<p>You must use your last name and Admissions assigned Access Code to access this site.</p>

<p>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>If you have forgotten your Admissions ACCESS CODE, click here to have it sent to your email address on record.</p>
