Harvard C/O 2019 Applicants Forum

You may be a tiny horse, but you have the heart of a stallion. Good luck sir.

Hopefully the wait will be over for us within the next week!

This goes for those of us (me included) who are still waiting for JS1s!

Aye aye captain corgi!

Good juju all around.

Yep all very fair. For me getting max need aid from H was a superior outcome to other T14s for free, but it's completely defensible to disagree. Very few ppl get a lot of need aid tho.

I didn't apply to Y, partly bc I would have taken H anyways and hate New Haven (worked there briefly) with passion. Although I know a few HLS 1Ls that chose H over Y, that's definitely the minority and I've talked to a few ppl here who readily admit they would have preferred Y--esp if u know u want to clerk or academia or insert-unicorn-job-here it makes a lot of sense.

Hurray for growing up dirt poor!

The one time it really pays off lol

Right?

Oh hey for everyone else thinking about financial aid! Did you all already fill out your FASFA and Need Access Application? Some schools have deadlines for that by the first week of February.

Turned mine in a few days ago! The Need Access App definitely took a fair amount of time, so if anyone hasn't started I'd definitely get on it.

Also just wanted to add on to the thank you's for downbeat14's post. It was very informative, and as a fellow "what if" wonderer, the post helped a lot. Hopefully one day I will be fortunate enough to make that kind of decision.

Were you able to turn in need access for HLS? I can't find their name on the school list.

No, I wasn't able to. Couldn't find their name on the list either. It was mentioned earlier but their website says the process doesn't open until late February, and to watch your HLS email for details.

Also adding onto the good juju all around for everyone. May we all be blessed with JS1's and JS2's.

Getting exhausted thinking of what "tomorrow" will bring! "Tomorrow" has been on my mind too long

Edit: ...Sorry to kill the good vibes...

I'm thinking the good vibes are all over right now. I lost my keys in the park today, and a nice man found them and then found me. Clearly this is a sign that there's a JS1 and JS 2 for everybody this week!

Seriously. I look forward to reading this thread every day. Everyone here is so friendly!

Good night my lovelies. May we all wake up to JS1s and JS2s raining down on our heads.

[ftge232]

Complete 11/30 and no js1. Any hope?

[Li'l Sebastian]

So the JS2 window is open for one more hour right?

So far this cycle it seems like it has just run from 3-4:30 Eastern time. I imagine that as the quantity and frequency of decisions increase, this will widen.

any word on interview slots available? (is there a way for me to check this myself? i've not rec'd JS1.)

There are no interview slots currently open. There isn't a way to check if you haven't received a JS1, but don't lose hope; they have been pretty quite the past week so I bet a storm of activity is on the horizon.

nothing open right now! I don't think you can check, I think its a unique link per applicant. I try to check a couple times a day (when I'm refreshing TLS looking for JS2s), so I'll post whenever I see them!

Not expecting anything for at least another month... oh well.

Tuesday is a big day for admissions, NYU seems to exclusively release decisions on Tuesdays and Columbia had its first wave last Tuesday. And last week didn't Harvey have a wave of js1s and 2s on Tuesday.

No JS2s last week but the very first wave of JS2s back in dec came on a tuesday! A lot of the JS1 waves have been on Tuesdays (in the AM) so I get the feeling that a committee or review process occurs on Mondays. Therefore, JS1s and JS2s tomorrow, obviously

.... at least this is what I hope.

[leslieknope]

For people who were asking about financial aid- HLS isn't on Need Access. There's an HLS specific app, but you need the @jd19 email to be able to fill it out, and I'm pretty sure it won't open for another month. This is definitely a question for SFS, though, since idk if it's the same this cycle.

Good luck everyone still waiting! Crossing fingers!

My friend literally just got the call from NYU though.

If we don't see movement by 4:30 this afternoon I'll start prepping the volcano for virgin sacrifices to appease the Harvard admissions gods.

Nah, I think they feed more off the hopes and dreams of prospective 0L's. I'd contribute mine, but I lost them in the snow over the weekend.
