<p>The site originally stated that decisions will come <em>by</em> Dec. 15, however they’ve since announced the actual date, which is Friday the 13th of December at 3:00 pm. And yes, they will be emailed.</p>

923

<p>So my portal still hasn’t closed…</p>

924

<p>Change the time settings on your computer</p>

<p>Don’t freak out if you don’t get your email right away. Back when my son got in (he was in the Harvard class of 2011), other people from his school had all gotten email by 6 pm, but his didn’t come and didn’t come, and then the acceptance email arrived at around 9 pm. My son was sure by then that he hadn’t gotten in. What a stressful night that was.</p>

926

<p>People who get their emails later are usually the admitted ones. At least this is what I’ve observed in the previous years.</p>

927

<p>Oh, that’s interesting…</p>

<p>Can anyone else support what AnnaTheGreat is saying?</p>

928

<p>so is that mean if I receive right at 3pm tomorrow. I would likely to get rejected or deferred?</p>

929

<p>You can look at last year’s posts. It’s not difficult</p>

930

<p>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Some people who get their decisions early do get accepted</p>

<p>it’s just that the ones who get their decisions later were all accepted</p>

<p>ALL THUMBS ARE FINGERS BUT NOT ALL FINGERS ARE THUMBS</p>

931

<p>anyone know how many people applied scea this year? if not, why isnt Harvard releasing stats</p>

932

<p>From a Penn ED’r, I wish all of you guys best of luck tomorrow.</p>

933

<p>@slushy9 Harvard will probably release stats in a day or two. Some of the Ivy schools have already released their decisions and stats. Dartmouth released them yesterday, Columbia and Brown released theirs tonight. UPenn, Cornell, Princeton and Yale all release their decisions on Monday. Stanford releases decisions at exactly the same time Harvard does and MIT is releasing them on Saturday at 12:14. =P </p>

<p>Thank god classes end at 2:30 for me. But I have robotics until 4:30, and I won’t get home till 5. And there is no way in hell that I’m checking my decision outside of my house. So in other words, I’m going to be a wreck at robotics tomorrow. =/</p>

934

<p>@violet check using schoo computer or cell phone or go home early or take a day off to check decision. ;P</p>

935

<p>Think about the applicants from the west coast – they’ll still be in school, since it will be noon our time. Ugh.</p>

936

<p>@slushy9 lol. I contemplated skipping school, but I stayed home today, so I should go tomorrow. I’m just going to wait till I get home. I’ll be okay. Good luck tomorrow! Good luck to everyone!</p>

937

<p>From a current '17–best of luck to all of you!</p>

938

<p>Do you guys have immense pressure from classmates as well? We have never had a student even dream of applying to Harvard from my school - I am the first one. Every single day, people ask me about it. I am putting pressure on myself, and everyone I know is putting pressure on me. I feel that, if I am deferred/rejected, I will be letting down everyone at my school along with myself. I know that, in the long run, it does not even matter what they think about my college. Can anyone relate?</p>

939

<p>@Saldaddario: </p>

<p>I have the same problem. I wish I hadn’t told anyone I was applying. I’m sure if it was more private I would be able to digest a rejection FAR more easily and more quickly.</p>

940

<p>@Saldaddario kind of. in my school, mostly everyone goes to sunys. people do get into ivies, but not harvard. and my parents and her friends and family never went to college so everyones talking about me. but idc if i get deferred. at least i tried :’)</p>
