<p>I live in Utah, and still haven’t received my letter yet. Monday/Tuesday?</p>
<p>Fellow deferred applicants: Do you plan to submit anything to H while waiting? (besides the mid-year report)</p>
<p>@ChrxswxN: We have reason to be dejected. Our chances are now ~3 percent. And the group of deferred students was very strong.</p>
<p>nicework guys!</p>
<p>Does anyone know when prefrosh week is going to be??:)</p>
<p>April 20 to the 22nd!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I applied ED to Penn, but I noticed a huge difference between reactions on the Penn thread and this thread. Why all the hostility? Just reading through the argument about AA made me a little angry.</p>
<p>I am deferred. Even few months before, I didn’t have any idea regarding admission in Universities in U.S.A. My father’s income is less than $10000 per year and so it was an impossible idea to even think to study in an University in U.S.A. After my SAT exam (got 2300) I got an Email from Harvard to apply there. I was surprised and overwhelmed with joy and happiness.
I didn’t have any idea regarding essay or extracurricular or community service. However I applied and got deferred. When I got the Email, I was really feeling bad and my parents were also felt very sad though they tried not to show any negative feeling to me.
Today I got the deferral letter from Harvard. Today I am not feeling bad. Rather, I thought that it is really a difficult task for Harvard to select a few from thousands of applicants. I am feeling for Harvard Admission People.</p>
<p>Yes, today I am not sad. Rather, I am grateful to Harvard for providing me the mental courage and strength by their mail to compete with the most brilliant students of the universe and move forward.</p>
<p>Thank you Harvard. I will never be disheartened.</p>
<p>It occurred to me that I failed maintaining my integrity through this whole process. No I didn’t ever lie; I believed I was a hot shot. I was arrogant. Aside from the fact that I am nowhere near qualified as all of you fine individuals, I deeply regret my actions of bragging about what I though was special. I hope to learn from this experience, and hopefully be more humble in the future. Best of luck to you all at Harvard.</p>
