Thanks! I chose IMAP... am I doomed?

Also, is there an easy way to use gmail but send from hls? it's easy from desktop, not so much on iphone.

Maybe that's what I picked too? Idk it was trial and error and only one worked. Not sure which, haha. When composing, click the from box and you should get a menu of all your synced emails to choose from.

Oh wait I'm dumb you mean from safari on your phone? No idea, I basically never actually go to the gmail site.

woof. I'm sorry! Did you get need-based at other schools? because Harvard gave me significantly more (read: double) what most other schools ponied up for grant money alone (not merit)

No. It's an email directing you to the financial aid website. You'll see a new "award" tab added after you log in.

Ooof. On the upside, just finished doing all my loan applications, they're pretty straightforward! Took me about 20min to do them all. Of course it might be slightly different for non-internationals.

Congrats guys! I didn't get quite as much but am happy! I sent in my deposit yesterday, can't wait to meet all of you in 2 months

Deposit received, lease in Cambridge signed. This is really happening.

You got a lease already? I'm jealous. I'm in broker hell.

The first year. The renewal of the need-based grant requires an annual application since they will take the large sum of summer internship earning into calculation next year. 31,100 basically means zero parent contribution.

Ahhh thanks. That just means aid can really only go down-especially for people who choose to go the firm route. Is 31k just about the most they will give for the first year?

31k is the maximum you can get, cuz for me thats 0 student and 0 parent contributions. Next year will be interesting.

On another front I have to get like 7 immunization shots to update my records. Haha, I'm so excited :p

For those who got in pre-WL, did u receive anything in the mail after u got the admission packet? Or is the packet all they send?

Doorkeeper · Post by **Doorkeeper** » Sat Jul 07, 2012 9:18 pm

For fellow WL admits, are the immunization and transcript stuff still due soon? I think on the 15th?

Immunization stuff ? Didn't see any forms in the admit package.

I asked about this and they said just get them in as soon as possible, and they'll follow up if they don't have what they need from you.

Actually, don't know about immunization stuff--I was just asking about Dean's Certs and transcripts.

The immunization forms are on the Admitted Student Site. Under the Admitted Student Checklist, there's the a link to Health and Immunization Forms.

And, by the way, I'm back! I just sent in my deposit, so it's official this time.

I had sent in a withdrawal email a little while ago, but I must have sounded so brokenhearted that Dean Soban called me up and, essentially, gave me a chance to reconsider. She was super sweet about the matter, and gave me some additional information and put me in touch with a number of people at HLS to help me make an informed decision. After taking some time to properly agonize over my options and torture anyone who'd listen to me in the process, I finally made a decision that I'm confident is the best one for me. So much happier about this now.

Well you faced an enviable, but quite difficult, situation that basically had no "wrong" answer. It's just good you were able to make a decision and be happy with it!
