Harvard Waiting Thread 2013 Forum

i figure this question would be useful for admits and those still waiting. how many first roud admits plan on attending?

I'm planning to attend.

I would assume this to be the default.

how bout them YLS or SLS cross-admits?

i know i am definitey going to HLS, im just curious what percent are holding out and we can get a feel for the prospective yield of the first batch.

Isn't the deposit deadline Monday the 15th? SLS and YLS decisions are after that and I would think that people would typically go for the sure thing (esp when SLS and YLS transfer classes are much smaller).

^ H doesnt make you withdraw pending decisions.

I assume there aren't many spots left.

We've seen at least 10-15 on this forum alone. Presumably there are some (sane) people out there that aren't addicted to TLS the way we all are...so They probably issued close to 30-40 admits already.

I am waiting on SLS before I decide. I'll bet that many Harvard admits applied to the holy HYS trinity, and some of them probably don't have Harvard as their first choice, so there's a good chance that some more spots will open up after YLS and SLS make their offers.

Might be...wonder if H keeps that in mind and hangs on to some of us hopefuls.

Yeah I think that people remaining may be de facto hold/WL

doesnt seem like there were many dings today. theres a lot of game left to be played

[BFrankBYangC]

Yeah, I wouldn't count yourself out if you aren't in yet. Nothing to lose by riding the de facto transfer waitlist (if it is indeed such). Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back.

[srilina]

If helpful, our transfer class (2014) has approximately 30 people - so did the previous class. I believe we had a couple admits in what would be later this week, and even into next. I think someone heard really late in July (someone else accepted and then backed out after hearing from YLS). However, I wouldn't bank on it.

[psach44]

Thanks for the dagger

[jrf12886]

Last year they did some admits by phone, and then the rest were by e-mail.

I have outstanding at Yale but I am definitely attending Harvard even if I am admitted.

I'm not merely saying this to open up some seats but--given the chance--I would attend Yale in a New Haven minute. While I have the greatest love for Harvard, a degree from Yale provides some distinct advantages.

[psach44]

Agreed. Not so sure the thinking process behind you two...

After surviving the first round of "dings," there's a certain song playing in my head.

But I wonder how long...

[psach44]

Ya me too. Had to add something to file this AM and they still took it so...

By add something do you mean updated materials? (journal/summer jerb/discovered cure for cancer)

[psach44]

Indeed, yesterday I discovered the cure for cancer, however, on my resume I had only included "solved Mideast peace crisis", so I figured this was relevant to add.

Looks as if you've got the "right stuff" for Harvard. Thus, I would rest at ease if I were you.

Wow, yeah that should get it done.... I thought I was riding high with my "convinced North Korea to stop nuclear arms development."

I feel truly humbled in your presence.

Nah bro. That's child's play. Even rodman can do that crap.
