Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2019 Applicants Thread

<p>@NinetyNeinProbs same for me… I just submitted the required recs. But I submitted like 3 additional essays - if they would read anything in extra I like it to be my writings lol</p>

<p>My philosophy prof let me read his letter though I didn’t ask for it – I didn’t want to read it either because not like Piglet I couldn’t hold more gratitude
Aiz but I did…</p>

<p>@calliemoon11‌ thank you., yeah, my teachers really know me as a person therefore I’m assuming they wrote a really good recommendation.
I also believe that if any side of me (funny and hilarious side) was not visible through the application, the interviewer will mention it! Since I really showed my real self to the interviewer! :slight_smile:
@NinetyNeinProbs‌ I agree with you! I will make a reaction video, I’m sure it will be a valuable capture :wink: </p>

<p>Guys! Help me plese! The Collegeboard Lost one of my sat subjects. After the makeup test, I was informed that all scores will be available on Nov 3. When I log in, I saw the German test scores only (it was a makeup test). Then I phoned the collegeboard customer service and they said that it takes up to 5-7 business days to solve the problem. What am I supposed to do? Tnx</p>

<p>@calliemoon11‌ The weird thing about the “why Harvard” question is that when you consider all the top schools (like the ivies, Stanford, MIT, and other selective and affluent schools), there’s not a whole lot of difference between them that strongly distinguishes one school from another. In my opinion, at least. That’s why that question kinda throws me off. </p>

<p>And of course, it was the first question my interviewer asked me! </p>

<p>@MissDianaKhr‌ if Harvard hasn’t received it by now, it’s pretty likely that it won’t be considered. Don’t worry, though! This year Harvard just decided that the subject tests are technically optional, though they are recommended. It’s meant to be for people who can’t afford to take or send the tests, but I’m pretty sure they can’t penalize you for not having all of them in. </p>

<p>I’ve been watching this thread for a while but haven’t posted anything yet. I’m also anxiously awaiting D-day and I’m incredibly nervous!! Everyone on here is just so wonderful, extremely intelligent, and nice. I wish we could all get in! I wish all of you the best :smiley: </p>

<p>Hello, I’m newish to CC but I also applied Harvard SCEA… hello everyone :slight_smile: hi… does anyone know the exact time/date when the decisions come out?</p>

<p>Hi! @yishin1017 Thursday, Dec. 11th at 5:00pm EST</p>

<p>Hey guys, is it possible to sticky a comment (i.e. the decision date/time)? Lol. </p>

<p>@yishin1017 on Thursday at 5 pm eastern time. </p>

<p>@yishin1017 apparently a few people on this thread called the admissions office, and they responded that decisions would be out dec. 11 @ 5 pm.
@HobbitTon same! last night, despite being up and about from 3:30 to 11:00, i could not fall asleep. i was thinking about harvard XP lol i fell asleep past one hehe but im energized for some reason today!! :D</p>

<p>@PcollegegirlP‌ I talked about financial aid and general academic stuff, like how Harvard’s X program is highly rated and suits my interests in X. I also made clear, though, that many students switch from X to Y or Z, so financial aid was really the main reason. </p>

<p>Hey everyone, I’ve been following this thread for a while and decided to finally post. Only a few more days now!</p>

<p>@NinetyNeinProbs‌ u did a good job answering it!
WE GOT 4 DAYS, 4 HOURS, AND 44 MINUTES LEFT TILL DECISIONS COME OUT!!!
Welcome @ahawkins‌ and @yishin1017‌ :)</p>

<p>What is the secret to make the emojis appear lol? :-/ </p>

<p>Oh my gosh I did it!!! Yes! I’m smart enough to make an emoji appear…Harvard will surely want me now…said no one ever. </p>

<p>@Jalaquan‌ from my own experience, just type the emoji, don’t click on the thing otherwise it just shows :smile: like that! Or u can use the emojis from The right corner! :wink: :smiley: <:-P :stuck_out_tongue: </p>
