Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2019 Applicants Thread

<p>Yeah i would assume the decisions come out 12th too based on the email change on the midnight of the 11th. </p>

<p>RE: <a href=“https://admweb.fas.harvard.edu/ha/Applicant/ApplicantFrame.html”>https://admweb.fas.harvard.edu/ha/Applicant/ApplicantFrame.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Although Harvard’s portal says that it will be open for SCEA applicants until December 11th, that does not necessarily mean that notifications go out the next day (December 12th). In years past, both for SCEA and RD cycles, I believe there was a lag of 2-3 days between when the site closed and notifications were sent out.</p>

<p>I really really hope we don’t have to wait till Monday. It was released on friday last year so hopefully it’ll be like that this year too. </p>

<p>Keep attention to Harvard Undergraduate Admissions’s Facebook and Twitter pages. It will probably warn us a couple days in advance of the release.</p>

<p>So guys, last weekend, I ended up winning 2nd in my committee at the Princeton MUN conference; do you guys think it’s worth the update? </p>

<p>Does anyone know around what time decisions will be sent? If they’re sent by mail or by email? </p>

<p>@howtocollege‌: Decisions will be sent by email! And I believe that the general consensus on this thread is that decisions will be sent around 3 PM EST based on last year.</p>

<p>@frozens‌ Interesting, seeing as a lot of posts from last year’s SCEA thread were around 11AM EST. I guess we’ll find out in a couple of weeks! </p>

<p>@howtocollege Are you also on the east coast? I saw around 11 AM on CC also, but the times got messed up. I’m East Coast, so i assumed it was like that for other people around here. It actually is around 3:00 - some people in their posts from last year even mentioned it being that time (despite the CC post time being 11 am!) Confusing haha</p>

<p>@Melissawilliams Eastern time zone, but not East Coast. Now I’m kind of nervous because I will be on a school retreat on December 12 at 3PM. Don’t know if I’ll want to check then or if I’ll be busy or what. </p>

<p>@howtocollege‌: Yep, the times are all messed up for me too! I was pretty confused about that, but @PcollegegirlP‌ pointed me to this helpful post on last year’s thread: <a href=“Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2018 applicants thread - #801 by balletgl - Harvard University - College Confidential Forums”>Official Harvard SCEA Class of 2018 applicants thread - #801 by balletgl - Harvard University - College Confidential Forums;
So even the times are weird on CC, decisions did come out at 3 PM EST last year :slight_smile: I’ll be just getting out of school then, so I feel like I’ll be a nervous wreck while driving home! </p>

<p>Has anyone requested an access code from the link posted above? Is it the same status portal that they emailed us when we submitted our apps, or something else?</p>

<p>(Also, it’s nice to finally join the conversation! I’ve been following this thread since it was posted and now that we’re getting closer I want to share the excitement with other people. :smiley: ) </p>

<p>I attended an info session a few weeks ago and the admission officer said decisions will be posted around the 11th.</p>

<p>@thingenthusiast‌ I just did! It’s a different site, but I don’t really know what the point of it is…? O.o Can someone enlighten us? </p>

<p>By the way, welcome to the thread! :smiley: What are your main interests?</p>

<p>@calliemoon11‌
This is just a theory, but since the Harvard admissions website was recently redesigned I think this is the old applicant login. From what I am reading it seems to do the same thing as the other applicant login we have all been using. </p>

<p>Of course this is just a hunch, if someone is more knowledgeable, please enlighten us. :slight_smile: </p>

<p>Edit: The reason for this hunch is because some of the links on the left side are broken and the copyright on the bottom is 2010. So I think the Dec. 11th on that website is just from an old year.</p>

<p>here’s a link from a previous thread: <a href=“College Admissions: Inside the Decision Room - YouTube”>College Admissions: Inside the Decision Room - YouTube. called “College Admissions: Inside the Decisions Room” and it’s not specific to harvard but likely similar to the process their AO go through</p>

<p>@c0nman‌ I wrote about my trip to Egypt and how I gained a broader perspective. Cool topic :D</p>

<p>@hnorelle‌ Yay-another stem major! I’m planning on Applied Mathematics.</p>

<p>Less than 2 weeks until decisions come out! I literally cannot take the anticipation anymore. Are there any sci-fi readers on this thread? Right now, I’m reading Nexus by Ramez Naam. It’s minblowingly good. </p>

<p>Any recs? </p>

<p>Hey guys ! </p>

<p>I’m new to this thread</p>

<p>really nervous </p>
