<p>Sorry, it was dated November 24, 2014.</p>
<p>How do I do that? I would have to hide his name. I don’t have permission to give out the name. </p>
<p>You should be able to black it out on paint or something, and just upload that edited image to an uploader and post the link here.</p>
<p>@efr009: You can block it out on Microsoft Paint, or a similar program, using the paintbrush tool! Alternatively, if you’re on a phone, there are many free picture editing tools you can use to easily black out the name. </p>
<p>edit: Looks like HobbitTon beat me to the punch ;)</p>
<p>Hi i also applied early to harvard and friends at my school said they had an interview a while ago. I never got contacted so should i be worried? </p>
<p>@Panda4321 hey! No, u shouldn’t! An interview isn’t guaranteed, and maybe the interviewer in your area has too many interviews already or maybe he is busy…
Nevertheless, it would be wise to contact the admissions office!</p>
<p>@Panda4321 this is from Harvard’s website: <a href=“Frequently Asked Questions | Harvard”>https://college.harvard.edu/frequently-asked-questions</a></p>
<p>Is there an interview?
When possible, we try to arrange for you to meet with alumni/ae in or near your school communities. You will not be at a disadvantage if an interview cannot be arranged. In the U.S., Canada and the U.K., an alumnus/a will contact an applicant directly by phone, e-mail, or letter if such an interview is possible. If you live outside these areas, we aim to hold an admission interview when and where possible. Our interviewers abroad are graduates of Harvard who offer their assistance on a volunteer basis. While we try to make interviewers as widely available as possible, it will not always be possible for a student to have an interview. The absence of an interview will not adversely affect your candidacy. </p>
<p>As you see @PcollegegirlP, you don’t call the admissions office to request an interview. </p>
<p>@T26E4 the reason why I said that was basically because I remember that many people who were worried and didn’t get an interview did actually contact the admissions office to find out why they hadn’t got one…
Other than that, yes u are right, an applicant (in the US) is contacted by an alumnus/a! 
</p>
<p>Ok thanks for the help :)</p>
<p>@PcollegegirlP ok thanks for the help :)</p>
<p>Thank you very much</p>
<p>Disclaimer: I am sorry if the letter is actually real, this post is not intended to be hurtful in any way. </p>
<p>I do not believe that letter was actually received. That opening paragraph would be seen in a Harvard letter circa 2006, and is VERY similar to one that I found in an old Harvard acceptance thread on here. The format has since changed, as you can see here: <a href=“http://filecabinet.eschoolview.com/BC271583-910E-4DDB-9844-2B8833137087/Admission%20Letter_Harvard%20College2.pdf”>http://filecabinet.eschoolview.com/BC271583-910E-4DDB-9844-2B8833137087/Admission%20Letter_Harvard%20College2.pdf</a>. This is their new format which has been used for the past several years. Why would they revert back to the older letter? Next, there has been no prior occurrence like this in history, minus likely letters for athletes. Ivies cannot send out decisions earlier than their notification dates. All are sent on specified days. Finally, the admissions committee does not even begin to meet until after Thanksgiving, so the likelihood of a confirmed decision is slim. </p>
<p>Do not let this one new person worry you. </p>
<p>From this thread, I can see that a lot of people are feeling the same way as I am, unable to stop thinking about Harvard and admissions for even a few hours 
It’s nice to know others are feeling the same way. This is kind of random, but if you’re looking for your brain to be occupied for a few hours, go watch Interstellar if you haven’t already. It was such a mind blowing movie and it leaves you with so much to think about (imo). </p>
<p>On another note, I’m glad this thread is so active, it’s one of the only things that is getting me through these days of waiting!</p>
<p>I fully concur with @Benzy50. My alma mater college, a Harvard peer that operates almost in lock step with how Harvard operates, begins meeting in committee on Tuesday for its SCEA applicants. I think efr’s friend is trying put on an elaborate hoax, I fear. As I said earlier, sad stories like this appear EVERY year.</p>
<p>If you google the words in @efr009 's quoted letter, it appears in older acceptance letters… not hard to get a “photo” of one.</p>
<p>Does the acceptance email start off with “Congratulations!” as well?</p>
<p>Welcome to thread, @AcollegeC! I’ve heard great things about Interstellar, and I’m hoping to watch it soon. And yes, this thread is pretty great! I may be biased, but I definitely think it’s the best SCEA thread on CC this year 
</p>
<p>Oh, and a little while earlier we were talking about movies related to college/admissions. Has anyone else seen the Tina Fey movie “Admissions”? It’s not the best movie in terms of plot/writing, but the scenes where the AOs discussed applicants were pretty interesting – and nerve wracking! It’s crazy to think that Harvard AOs may soon sit down at a huge table and discuss us! I also have to agree with @oxoxhawja3xoxo; 22 Jump Street is hilarious, though I must say that I preferred 21 Jump Street. </p>
<p>@otter101: Yay for YA! Have you read any good YA books lately? I’ve fallen a bit behind on my reading and I always love book suggestions! I also didn’t submit a writing supplement, though looking back I kind of wish I did. I do think that my essays (hopefully!) showed my creative side, so I’m not too regretful </p>
<p>@frozens </p>
<p>I liked 21 better also. Mostly because of Dave Franco. Also, it’s good that you didn’t submit too many supplements. My counselor told me the less crap they have to read, the better. The more you send, the faster they rush through all of it. It’s about quality not quantity. </p>
<p>Also, if you like reading, I HIGHLY recommend The Secret History by Donna Tartt. It’s super modern with a classic twist. If you read a lot, you’ve probably read it. If so, I’d also recommend The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer</p>
<p>@Benzy50: You don’t have to believe anything I posted but what this has anything to do with me being a new person (“Do not let this one new person worry you”), especially that you are new too. I am just trying to be helpful and get information out to those who may want to know. </p>
<p>@AcollegeC I saw interstellar today!!! It was a little long, and the plot was lacking a bit… but the cinematography was amazing. and the actors were good. I think the script was a bit weak… </p>
