Harvard C/O 2019 Applicants Forum

Looked at last year's thread. It was so strange that people with JS1s were the first ones to be rejected. *shudder*

If you're looking for trends, I'd really recommend sticking with the spreadsheets - not only will you get a better sample, you'll get it more efficiently. Then you can stay up watching Netflix or reading instead!

so trend master, what is your bet on JS2s today? (or others who want to speculate)

They are certainly imminent.

Disclaimer: that has been my view on JS2s pretty much every weekday since the first wave, so my track record is pretty bad.

Oh, that's why I was looking at last year's thread. The second wave of JS2s did not arrive until January 17th for last year's applicants. That wave included a mix of November and December admits (people who interviewed up until December 20, etc).

So if last year's thread is an indicator (which it should not be, given that last year Harvard engaged in anomalous behavior by rejecting post-JS1 candidates before no-JS1s), I do not predict a JS2 wave until after the New Year.

So what you're saying is, we know nothing.

But in the 2013-2014 there were JS2 waves on 12/22 and 12/23! Yes, I was reading and extrapolating till 2am last night as well.

I put my monopoly money on a decision last week and turned out to be disappointingly wrong. So, I'm going the other extreme. No automatic forum notifications, nor a notification anytime anyone updates the spreadsheet, until January.

That said, I'm still diving across the room anytime my phone so much as squeaks.

[Oskosh]

Don't get me wrong -- I'd love to be wrong. I am simply reporting what I read in last year's thread.

You're right and I hate it

Still holding out hope for those annual Christmas Eve JS1s. Can anyone see if there are any slots open?

Thanks!

[turndown4brunch]

Well, Merry Christmas everyone! Guess we'll have to wait until 2016 for more JS2s...guess this Christmas isn't so merry after all...

[Li'l Sebastian]

All I want for the holidays is to have a JS2!!!

Wow, this thread is dead

Harvard's aid program is entirely need based right?
So if one gets accepted with an EFC of 0 how much aid would they expect to receive?

EFC=0 doesn't necessarily mean much for law school aid- it's calculated differently. But last year the maximum award was more than half tuition (~33k/year).

Hey, LeslieKnope! How is Harvard treating you? I hope I hear good things so that I can join you next year!

33k is more generous than other schools. Berkeley offered me 25k need based aid last year.

Does Harvard's financial aid office help you find outside scholarships? Haha. I'd like to have at least 50k covered. :p
