Did they ding you?
+1, I am not mentally ready for that sort of disappointment yet.
Ding city, they did it very politely though.
Sorry to hear that. When did you apply? And when did they email you? Harvard was always a super reach so I'm expecting a ding. This wait has been killing and I just need to know already.
I replied back in November. I only applied because they reached out to me with a fee waiver and then had BLSA email me as well. I even talked to a BLSA member on the phone. They emailed me right now and said to check my update on the status checker. When I clicked it, there was a letter.
Man, sorry to hear about it. It'll be fine though you've got into some great schools!

Side Note: I'm in for a very stressful weekend so a JS2 tomorrow morning would certainly make it a lot easier.

My entire office was given permission to wear patriots clothes to work tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about it

I'm in the same boat. Submitted mid/late Jan. The wait is on!

I realize there's probably already a lot written somewhere on the stats of this, but I'm wondering how many of those who are offered an interview are eventually accepted. Are they genuinely trying to whittle down the pool of applicants by half, or is it more of a rubber stamp? Further, I saw somewhere that one can expect to wait 4-6 weeks after the interview to get a decision. That would mean I wouldn't hear anything until the end of March most likely. Is that really likely? Or are they generally faster than that?
Thanks in advance for all your collective knowledge!!

About 75% of people who get interviewed get accepted. Roughly 1200 JS1's -> 900 JS2's.

The numbers I've seen elsewhere (which may be outdated by a couple of years by now) are 5500 apps, 1200 interviewed (JS1), 900 accepted (JS2), and 550-560 enrolled.

Okay I saw those numbers as well somewhere but wasn't sure whether they were reliable.
Any idea on the timeline? Would a February decision be possible??

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
