<p>So I just realized that I probably should have submitted my CSS profile…has anyone not submitted theirs yet? It won’t have any effect on admissions decisions will it? Oh gosh. </p>
<p>Exactly where did people find out that the admissions will be released on the 11th?!?</p>
<p>I’d be more hopeful if the website didnt say “highly unlikely for intls to get in without them”, sigh
Thankyou though </p>
<p>@AuTurtle,</p>
<p>I haven’t either. It says that you can receive an ‘estimate’ of financial aid, but it won’t be your final financial aid decision. Considering that you have to submit a new profile with updated tax return data (since I’m assuming most people don’t have their most recent filings completed yet), they’ve stated that they’ll accept late CSS profiles in the order in which they are received.</p>
<p>I strongly believe that your (or my) lack of a CSS Profile has any impact in admissions (admissions and the Office of Financial Aid are separate entities).</p>
<p>If someone would like to correct me if I’m wrong, though (preferably with evidence, since I haven’t found anything that enforces a deadline of November 1st), please do so.</p>
<p>@Tiberium Defenestrate-to throw out a window!!!</p>
<p>@Tiberium @AuTurtle The purpose of the CSS is mostly to get you an estimate of Fin Aid with your acceptance. It is nice to do because it means less work later, but it isn’t required by Nov. 1 if you still want to take advantage of it. Harvard is also Need-Blind.</p>
<p>@Tiberium @entrebusecon Okay great. That’s what I was hoping. Thanks</p>
<p>@Ekroxx,</p>
<p>I love defenestrate. Sadly, it’s in English, though. How about the Defenestration of Prague, though?</p>
<p>@entrebusecon,</p>
<p>Thanks for the affirmation. It doesn’t save you much work, though (you have to do it again with an updated tax return as it is only an estimate), so I guess it’s mainly for those quite worried about the cost of attendance?</p>
<p>(Retroactive Edit - believe -> disbelieve (potential error in interpretation))</p>
<p>Talking about words, no schadenfreude welcome here on Thursday evening (unlikely since all of you are so supportive). The German language has some interesting words/concepts.<br>
.</p>
<p>my favorite word is . . . knapsack. go ahead, judge me 
um, no knapsacks welcome here on Thursday evening either</p>
<p>people still asking questions about apps, supplements, the portal, and interviews… Seriously? they already know who’s in and who’s out. At this point, tomorrow, they’ll probably just check to make sure they’re lined up to send the right emails to everyone. Making sure they don’t send acceptances to rejects, and all of that stuff.
so just sit back, relax, and get EXCITED/NERVOUS/whatever it takes to survive the ride!! </p>
<p>@Tiberium @AuTurtle
I called admissions about the CSS thing and asked questions on CC about it. The Nov. 1 deadline was optional and has no weight on admissions. The only thing you get out of it is an estimate of your aid package with your acceptance letter. Once again, just an estimate, and while they process the profiles first come first serve, financial aid isn’t first come first serve. There’s plenty to go around and they’ll match your need.</p>
<p>I prefer to get my decision first, then send in all that info. </p>
<p>@melissawilliams is it bad that ive been staring at your profile pic with longing for a solid 10 minutes</p>
<p>Guys…the number of EA apps was probably insane this year because of last year’s extremely high acceptance rate. </p>
<p>Totally wishing I’d applied SCEA to Yale or Princeton instead now even though Harvard’s my first choice.
I have a feeling they’ll reject a lot more than they did last year because of the extremely low acceptance rate for deferrals last year. They’ve probably learned to trust their guts. I’m guessing only promising applicants with a real chance of being admitted RD will be deferred this year. </p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Edit: And why is deferral even an option? What’s the point of applying SCEA if you’re going to made to wait until April anyway? </p>
<p>@Jalebigirl I agree that the number of SCEA applicants most likely went up because of the 21% number.</p>
<p>@jalebigirl It’s extremely plausible that an exceedingly large number of applicants applied early this year because of last year’s high SCEA admittance rate. However I don’t think it’s something we should worry about because (1) it’s way too close to our decision to even think about regrets (even though I feel them too) and (2) because we don’t necessarily know Harvard’s reaction to this year’s SCEA number. For all we know they could accept even more of our class in the early round on the grounds of protecting their yield rates or maybe because the applicant pool was so strong. Only time will tell I guess <em>shrugs</em> </p>
<p>I know it’s late but feeling like crap about my scores and everything else WOW SELF DOUBT ENSUES </p>
