<p>Same here @Lanie49 (last year 366 applicants were denied and a majority was deferred)
@calliemoon11 won’t that kill u like every day till march ? :/</p>
<p>@PcollegegirlP definitely rather get deferred than rejected 3 more months won’t kill me i guess </p>
<p>@PcollegegirlP I would most definitely rather be rejected so that I’m not still thinking about it. I can move on and start thinking about other schools, schools who actually think I am of value. I don’t want to waste time thinking about a school that isn’t thinking about me!</p>
<p>@PcollegegirlP deferred for sure – though I have graduated from high school and there would be no change in grades gpa even test scores whatever for me, I feel like I’m learning new things and changing everyday 
Harvard will probably defer the November me, but I want it to consider the January me also 
Though it seems like unrealistic change…</p>
<p>@PcollegegirlP Yes, but it’s worth it for my dream school <3</p>
<p>Though I would be very happy at several other schools!</p>
<p>I definitely understand all of u guys…I just hope u all the best… I have to say all u people are amazing,you’d all make an amazing community! No matter where we go, let us always be optimistic! (feeling motivated)
And @mimosa26 very interesting, and indeed u r right, we are at a phase in life where we learn something new everyday and discover something new about ourselves!</p>
<p>@Melissawilliams I’m going to keep all of my apps submitted because I just want to weigh all of my options at once. I know it’s weird but it’s best for my decision-making style.</p>
<p>Just had a brief look at the other Ivy League threads of early action, and damn we by far have the most posts! Keep going everyone Woohoo !!! </p>
<p>Go us!</p>
<p>anyone else regret applying? the more i think about it the sadder i get because of the inevitable deferral/rejection</p>
<p>Nah. Heads up, @boxofdonuts </p>
<p>Applying to Harvard isn’t something you do on a whim-- you clearly thought it through before sending in that application.</p>
<p>Back yourself-- even if Harvard doesn’t say ‘yes’, applying wasn’t necessarily the ‘wrong’ decision. </p>
<p>I’ve been rereading my essays, and I pretty much hate them now. I’m thinking of maybe uploading an extra personal statement on the portal. I mean the worst thing they can do is not read it, right? </p>
<p>what do you guys think? </p>
<p>@jalebigirl I am kind of in your same position…but I am not thinking of uploading another essay. I looked at the application I uploaded and realized I forgot to add one of my EC accomplishment - (playing piano in state conventions for 3-4 years). 
I am not sure what to do about that, either. Should I upload a short extra resume? Or maybe just one short sentence of statement? </p>
<p>I can not stop thinking about decisions all day. I need a distraction </p>
<p>You can email the Harvard fileroom (<a href=“mailto:fileroom@fas.harvard.edu”>fileroom@fas.harvard.edu</a>) with a correction, or just upload it through the portal where it says ‘personal update’. I guess you can upload a resume, but I don’t think they care about them too much. I mean, who on this thread doesn’t have an impressive resume? </p>
<p>Anyone else? </p>
<p>Well I actually applied on a whim (originally going for non r ea). Wrote my supp essay in two hours 
It’s completely horrendous </p>
<p>My supplemental was so personal that I couldn’t ask anyone I know to read it over. My teachers and friends liked my commonapp essay, but I don’t think my personality really comes through properly. </p>
<p>some advice please? i’m kind of worried because I was counting on essays to help me stand out. </p>
<p>@jalebigirl Unless you have something very different to write about, you shouldn’t upload another personal statement…</p>
<p>@jalebigirl I agree with @fairyfantasy. I would highly recommend against sending another essay because they probably aren’t going to look too kindly on another essay they have to read </p>
