Harvard 2012 applicants (class of 2015) Forum

[1212]

1212, absolutely awesome job. Thanks a lot for that. The rep didn't happen to say anything about an updated resume did they? I secured a couple things for this semester that would definitely beef up my otherwise fairly weak resume.

I think that'd be helpful. She encouraged sending materials that would supplement your application in a new way. It should discuss cool things you've done since aimproved ugh as improved grades (via an updated transcript) working on a campaign, new job, etc).

[fingerscrossedxx]

congrats nametaken

this thread is in need for some kb1's.....we havent seen some in a while

YES THIS!

[phx]

thanks 1212

I'm still kinda confused about the rest of us (those who submitted after the held group). Looking at lsn they have rejected people up until the 11/05 submission date. I know that lsn is not representative, but if you submitted after 10/13 but before 11/05 and didn't get rejected, where do we stand? should we expect a new batch of holds or could we still be rejected? Harvard is really confusing this cycle.

How about those of us who submitted before 10/13 but haven't heard anything? How many of us are out there?

Congrats nametaken!

I just received the complete email this morning. Is there any point in sending an additional LOR after this? Or are they basically done reviewing my application? I don't expect to hear anything for a while.

Submitted on 10/13, I'm going to change your criterion of "before 10/13" to "NOT after 10/13" ...haven't heard anything, fun times isn't it?

[carne.asada]

I also submitted before 10/13 but haven't heard a peep!

+1. Story of my life.

Cynically, I'm imagining that the applicant batch for this period might have been a lot weaker than typical and they're informally holding people as they evaluate recently submitted applications from the December LSAT batch. Pure speculation.

Applied 10/20-ish
UR- 10/26-ish
Complete 11/10
No word since. URM

Posted twice.. oops

Hahhahaha congrats! I think answering my question brought you luck )))

Also, your answer has basically told me to start freaking out tomorrow. Not healthy!

Me too! Maybe we got some KB1's coming soon!

Hahaha maybe for you, Byzantine! My GPA is quite sad, and if they average my LSAT scores, that's also sad.

Not a URM. Canadian though + Canadian UG, so not your regular applicant either.

I'm not a URM either, though I'm an American with an International UG, which makes me different I guess.

[mikeylikesit]

I'm a URM - Complete email today as well, UR 12/23 (though held for Dec LSAT score).

[Nulli Secundus]

Bloodbath tomorrow!

[Elendil]

Bloodbath tomorrow!

Think positive! I bet another wave of KB1's is more likely...

They seem to have left a lot of us with international UGs hanging. I'm betting we'll get decisions as a group soon.

What time have people been getting their KB1 emails?

I got mine late morning, though there doesn't seem to be a definitive time in which they're sent out, though I can't remember many early morning/late afternoon ones.

+1 really think theyre holding on to us before they make a decision.

Oh god, they're going to make us URMs fight it out gladiator style...let me get my tridents.

I'd be happy to stand aside for you Chuckles McGee, by far my favorite name on TLS. Can we still be friends when you get into Harvard?

Sure, assuming neither of us drowns in an avalanche of rejection emails. I don't do posthumous friendships or anything kinky like that.
