Early this morning.

Do you recommend thank you emails after interviews?

Do they only call definite admits or do they call wait lists as well?? I know this is the most absurd question in the world but I literally can't even wrap my head around this right now and feel like I definitely misheard her....
Lol can you imagine if they did that? That would be worse than Penn's "we'd like to offer you a spot...on our WAITLIST!" email. Pure cruelty.

Just picture the scenario. Phone call from the Cambridge area code. See it, minor freak out. Compose self and answer.
"Hi, it's Jessica Soban from Harvard calling you. Is this Selden?" OMG OMG play it cool buddy
"Oh hi, yeah this is Jessica. I mean Selden. Not Jessica. You're Jessica. Haha you know that though" You idiot what have you done
"Well, Selden, I'd like to congratulate you. I'm calling today to offer..." Brief pause, faint, come to
"...a spot on our waitlist." JUST BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW MY NAME?!?

How long does it take for the application to go under review? I submitted mine 3 weeks ago and it still says Application Received.

Because my original post was at the bottom of a page and another post followed shortly, thus potentially preventing non-perusers of this thread from noticing my post, I thought it would behoove me to post my question again.

Of course, if you aren't interested in my post, which occupies very little space in comparison with the overall size of this thread, you are perfectly free to ignore it. Or, you can attempt to make me look like an idiot with a sarcastic response.

I seem to recall that ever since December there has not been a two-day JS2 wave. Seems like the way it is going to go forward is to trickle some JS2 down to highly qualified candidates on a random day of every week. Wave is no longer. JS please prove me wrong!

EEK!
I'm actually kind of excited about this. If I don't make it through the bloodbath, then it wasn't meant to be. If I do make it through the bloodbath, then I can be happy about dodging a bullet at least. Hearing something is better than hearing nothing!

(Note: I survived Red Wedding Part 1 for Penn --- got slaughtered [EDITED FOR AN AWFUL SPOILER SO SORRY] in part 2 ------ so take this optimism FWIW)

It's okay. As they say: it's the journey not the destination.

In all fairness, that part was out like 8 months ago...spoiling during the day/week/month/3 months of the episode is pretty bad, but I think by month 6 all is fair

Well (1) I read the books and they take for freaking ever, and (2) I definitely expect spoilers in threads, blog posts, etc. that are remotely related to Game of Thrones, and I agree it should totally be on the person trying to avoid spoilers to steer clear of them, but I wasn't expecting to read one in a Harvard waiters' thread lol

Don't worry though, I'm not devastated or anything.

Fianna13 · Post by **Fianna13** » Tue Feb 04, 2014 2:20 pm

Also, relevant: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/ ... -anything/

Come on, LSAT logic time. Just because a majority of people enjoy knowing the spoilers, doesn't mean I am one of those people lol
