The Harvard Waitlist Waiting Room 2014 Thread

<p>Verboten: Congratulations on having a daughter on the Harvard extended waiting list! Could you share with us which part of the country you are from (e.g., Midwest, Northeast, Calif.) and on which day your daughter was contacted? Thanks and good luck back at ya.</p>

<p>Wait, I’m a little confused. Did the number of kids they were accepting go down? Because the original number was between 65 and 75 students, which really isn’t that small of a number ([Harvard</a> College Admissions § Announcements](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/announcements/waitlist.html]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/announcements/waitlist.html))</p>

<p>Anyway I too dislike the whole not knowing where I’m going yet aspect of the waitlist, its a bummer to have to always qualify where I’m going to college. But I’m also kinda glad they gave us some hope, however unrealistic it may be. Its nice to have my dream a little longer, even if I have to say good bye eventually :slight_smile:
however, thats just me and I am the first to admit i’m a little strange. </p>

<p>and hit or miss:
“I am fluent in ubie dubie”</p>

<p>Miss. I hate tomatoes.</p>

<p>Welcome! I’m putting college of matriculation in brackets. Please state your own and I’ll add it!</p>

<p>If your name is in bold PLEASE come out and say hi so we can confirm that you are remaining on the waitlist! Thanks! More people should come out and join us! </p>

<p>Last Year:
16 reported being accepted by 05-26-2009, post #1053. Everyone who was accepted from the thread heard on the 19th, 20th, and 21st which was a Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This was probably the first wave.</p>

<p>Next wave seemed to happen on the 12th of June with about 6-10 more students from the thread accepted from the 14th to the 29th of June.</p>

<p>In last year’s thread the Z-list acceptances were scattered and seemingly random (although probably based on hooks which are impossible to confirm).</p>

<p>miss. i enjoy tye dye.</p>

<p>FenwayLover: We are from the Northeast.</p>

<p>Just to keep the thread alive, and out of curiosity, where is everyone from? I’ve heard a lot of Californias and East Coasts, I haven’t heard any where I’m from: Salt Lake City, Utah!</p>

<p>Annapolis, MD.</p>

<p>San Antonio, TX. Any other Texans out there?</p>

<p>oh goodness i just got here…i still haven’t heard back! how are they going to tell us, email i assume? do you think it’d be too late to send them extra stuff? </p>

<p>also, congrats to those who made it. for everybody else, remember that you’re going somewhere wonderful to do amazing things and you’re better than most people could ever hope to be :)</p>

<p>I’m from Boston MA. go redsox :)</p>

<p>Midwest</p>

<p>That was all I wanted to write, but I learned that cc has a character minimum: 10 letters.</p>

<p>Hey everyone, one of my friends accepted to Harvard told me that the next wave of decisions will be released June 1st. I’m not sure how he knows, but I trust him.</p>

<p>Well I hope the next round of decisions comes out tomorrow!<br>
No matter what the decision, it would be great!</p>

<p>Can anyone confirm or disprove that decisions will be released today?? It certainly would be a nice birthday present :)</p>

<p>hey, so i just called admissions and the guy said decisions would be coming out ‘some time later this week’. but i don’t know if that confirms or disproves anything, because sometimes admissions gives conflicting info.</p>

<p>well it looks like today was not the day (unless I was put on the extended extended waitlist lol)</p>

<p>Any news? 10char</p>

<p>No news. Sigh.</p>

<p>Darn it. I was so looking forward to resolution…</p>

<p>I feel like I’m waiting for Godot and this will never end</p>
