Waitlisted Harvard University Class of 2022

what does the update say?

What’s the date of the update? 5/16?

It’s dated 5/16 but is not viewable

@gibby so is there any hope for an international? It’s kind of sad for us ;_;

Mine is dated 4/13 and is also not viewable. Did not send anything.

My update is dated 5/7. Didn’t send anything myself.

I assume no one who got a phone call has the mysterious update?

My update is dated 5/2. I sent an extra letter of recommendation, but that was sent around 4/24. The first time I noticed the update was yesterday, though.

And yes, I haven’t received a phone call yet.

Would this mean those with updates under forms are being offered admission? Or will they notify those they are rejecting the same way?

Of course there’s hope, but given the odds I would think your chances would be significantly less than a waitlisted US applicant.

The mysterious update is under the Application Checklist. I assumed mine was not a good sign, honestly. I am trying so hard to move on and be happy about the choices that I have. Good luck to everyone and Congratulations to those who got in!

Has anyone called the admissions office for clarification

I know same here. I know a lot of people recommend to forget about it early and move on, but it isn’t that easy :'D I don’t have an update to my portal and I have no idea what to think

To those with the update, does it say ā€œWaitlist Reply Deadline: ā€¦ā€ followed by a date? Two years ago, someone had that in their portal and got accepted

I received no phone call and no update on the portal. I’m assuming this is a rejection lol I’m very confused. But I did send in multiple supplementary materials. I don’t know what this means, can someone clarify?

No update for me either

I have the Application Checklist update on May 11th as well. I am assuming that everyone on the waitlist gets one of these. (It could be the admission committee’s notes on your application or something like that.)

@bluedevil8130 did you get a phone call at all?

On mine it is the very last row on the application checklist, and it says wait list update, and it is dated 5/2. It doesn’t say anything else. It is identical to the waitlist updates that I sent them on 4/6. Very confusing.

I don’t have any sort of update other than the materials I sent in in April; have not received phone call either.
