HARVARD HOPEFUL!

Post by Aqua » Tue Feb 28, 2012 4:20 pm

The anticipation is killing me and I feel the URM situation may not be as bleak as the regular applicant thread suggests?

At any rate, wanted to create a space for aspiring members of the class of 2015 to share wisdom and experience. And, of course, to rant as often as needed.

Good luck y'all! :)

are you held or still waiting on a response? I submitted back in September and got held with the first batch on January 9th, sent in an updated resum, loci, and another lor.

Still waiting. I applied pretty late in the cycle, though. Mind if I ask for your stats? Any news? I'm trying to stay hopeful! Just thinking they are waiting a bit to admit most URMs.

I was held. But I don't have another source for a LOR and I don't consider my current employment as significant enough to push my already full one page resume to a 1.5 page resume. So a LOCI would seem a little strange (pretty much - "I WANT TO GO TO YOUR SCHOOL"). I have read that a letter like this would be entirely unnecessary.

Looks like at least one URM just got a JR1 from the hold pile.
