Harvard Waitlist 2012 Forum

I took the SAT before the third section was added. I guess I'm super old.

Same here. I think I took it the last year before it changed.

[sharktankdean]

Well, on a positive note, I aced the SAT verbal back in the day. Today, this is my source of pride

#dontletthethreaddie

I was all about the new writing section. The only time I was rewarded for being a grammar nazi.

I fucking hated that section. Near perfect on the other two, but that section threw my score out of whack (relatively speaking).

I kind of sucked at all three (relatively speaking). I kind of wish I'd studied or taken a class or something, but it's also weird to think of going to a different undergrad, so maybe not.

I'm with you..i hated studying for that test...and that was before i discovered coffee.

My first LSAT score speaks for itself

For people who got off of the waitlist in that big wave, what do you see on your status check? Do you have check marks for your "all official final transcripts received" and "all college certifications received" lines yet?
Thanks!

2nd deposit due date gone by..

Maybe we'll see a couple of new admits in the next couple of weeks?

[noggo10]

I'm thinking there probably will be a few more WL-admits since there was such a large initial WL-admit wave. Maybe just wishful thinking.

Hahahaha Elendil!

But, it is done.

The latest admissions office blog post is about starting the process for next cycle... it's over. I think the bloodbath will either come this week or next. To be honest, I'll just be happy to get some closure.

Hrmmm... obviously my consolation isn't really of any help to you, but don't you have killer stats (on my phone and don't feel like poking in your history to find it), like a 174 and 4+? I'm shocked they haven't taken you, especially since they seemed to me to have dipped a little lower than usual stat-wise for many WL admits this cycle. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that H is struggling to maintain its medians this year, which would suggest that somebody above both of them would be in an even better position than usual.

Assuming H doesnt work out, are you ending up somewhere you're happy with? You definitely committed to attending this fall or is reapplying an option? Second time did the trick for me, just FWIW.

Yea, I think you guys are going to have to wait to see if people don't show up to orientation, or if someone leaves early in the year. I've heard of people being pulled in September. Good news though is that people with the best stats won't be culled. They have to keep a few people.

I believe you're referring to the one that occurred before the WL->Accept wave. That's the last one by the Assistant Dean. Not saying it's not over. Just fighting inevitable.

[poe]

I'm surprised there hasn't been a single acceptance after the final deposit deadline. I guess it really is over. Maybe they slightly overfilled the class with the last wave?

Or they gave out extra acceptances knowing a few always decline?

[masked kavana]

Perhaps the awesomeness of the applications still around is too much to take?

and so it falls to us to wait for the great doom of our time

Transfers got in on Monday. We might already be looking at the bitter end, but fight on comrades.

[TatteredDignity]

No transfers got in on Monday that were reported on TLS. Last Monday, yes.

When you click the link scroll down to the bottom of the page. It looks like someone recently got off the wait list.

Is it bad that when I read this my thoughts go like this: In at Stanford, off the Harvard WL, HAH! she can't go to both. WIN!?

[krushktk]

Rephrase: I know a transfer applicant who got in on Monday.
This shouldn't be too unbelievable, since not every law school applicant is a TLSer.

[likeaBäh5ę]

well seeing as no more acceptances seem to be going out. I think it's time for the fat lady to sing:

Sorry I missed this! I've been off TLS lately... and yeah I guess I have stats that are definitely on the higher end (174 and ~4.0). I have a theory about why HLS isn't very keen on accepting me this cycle, but it's nothing with my application or background that I could have changed. I'm thrilled with where I'm ending up next year (Columbia) and while I would love to hear from the HLS admissions office, I'm happily moving on with my life until then!

Oh, and the blog post that I was referring to was posted just last week (July 12th): http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/admissions ... o-session/
