Harvard c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013) Forum

Not a frequent poster, but I thought I'd let everyone who thought they were passed over know that there is hope. JS1 today and I went complete around November 10.

You are my absolute hero and I love you.

But I hate you for giving me hope.

I had my KB1 on Jan. 23rd.. and missed today's wave of JS2..
Should I be freaking out now??

No, lots of people got their JS2 two weeks after their JS1. It's still early for you. If in a couple weeks you still haven't heard anything then a hold is likely.

[Ph297]

How many r they interviewing? How good an indicator of your chances is getting offered one?

[phelps84]

What's the general timeframe between JS1 and JS2 (if you're lucky enough to get one)?

[Ph297]

What do js1 and js2 mean?

There's this graph:

JS1 Date vs. JS2 Date 2011-2012 Cycle

I've been keeping this to myself, but I honestly can't quite make heads or tails of it. Maybe it will help you.

So many questions. JS are the initials of the Harvard dean of admissions, Jessica Soban. JS1 = invitation to interview/the interview itself, JS2 = the call telling you you're accepted.

About 1200 people will be interviewed and 850 will be accepted, implying a 70% chance of turning a JS1 into a JS2.

Generally if you don't get a JS2 within about three weeks of your JS1 you're en route to being held/waitlisted/dinged, but this might change once we get to April and the adcom is making final decisions (that is, people who had their JS1 months before might get a JS2 out of the blue).

You're JS0 right? I was only referring to the time between JS1 and JS2. I can tell you from personal experience that it's possible to get in after going months without a JS1

That's okay, you still depressed me if you're looking to make sure someone is depressed after reading your stats.

Don't give up hope though!! My JS2 was 2 months after my JS1 and came completely out of the blue.

Okay - I'm back in the game. Tomorrow I'm at 3 weeks, maybe I get a call.

[TripTrip]

Anybody from the 22nd/23rd batch get a JS1 this round... looking at you Trip and Carbon?

I'm a 1/22 complete and no JS1 today. But hopefully that means it won't be too long before we get ours? Hopefully?

(Love me, Harvard?)

Yeah, notta thing today over here. I have a hunch this means we're waiting until next Tuesday.

You make it sound like your numbers are a terrible atrocity, but they're not.

... that just made me really sad that you called 174/3.7 an atrocity. But very appropriate/fitting gif. In the saddest way possible.
