I mean, I'm trying to keep hope alive, but I would say that unless people hear from KB in the next 10 days, they're probably headed for WLs/dings. I just can't imagine why Harvard would want to admit a significant number of people after their ASW. Maybe they don't care if we go, but from what I hear they do try to put on a good show when admitted students come to Cambridge. What would be the point of letting in a bunch of people whom they'd have a difficult time wooing so late in the cycle?? I'm not including myself in this-- I'd jump at a Harvard acceptance at any time between now and mid-August, but I don't know/assume that everyone is as desperate as I am.

I don't think they can reasonably expect people to come to ASW with less than a week's notice? IDK, I just feel like that isn't their priority.

Sending out my 2nd LOCI tomorrow and praying for a positive response!

People are sending multiple LOCIs??

I'm not sending multiple LOCIs... I think it looks a little desperate. If I get waitlisted, maybe then I'll send something else.

I'm just really terrible at the LOCI-writing game. So, if I get waitlisted, I'm sending them a bikini picture with "I want to go to Harvard" scribbled on the back.

I don't know how far that'll go in an office that appears to be led by women...

At least I'll always take comfort in the thought that I got rejected because of that indiscretion rather than because I was seen otherwise insufficient to be an HLS student

That you have yet to be admitted, rejected, or waitlisted. HTH

Okay.

So i'll ask again this time ill be more clear. Do hold candidates who have not heard back yet still stand a chance? what sort of speculation is out there.

jetissent · Post by **jetissent** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 11:56 am

Given that they've sent out invites as recently at 2-3 business days ago, I think there is certainly still hope. No reason to assume the most recent batch was the last one.

Give up hope if you're dinged-not before.

I'm thinking if you're a hold candidate with decent numbers then worst case if you survive the next 5 days and don't get a KB1 is a WL.

I can always count on soj to pull the Chippendale's dancer out of his back pocket (or bookmarked tabs).

That would create quite the story...

Congrats! A KB1 this late means they know they want you. I'd bet that you'll be in. only a matter of time.

Doorkeeper · Post by **Doorkeeper** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 9:49 am

A KB1 today would be the best possible ending to this horrible, horrible week.

It doesn't help that I'm watching a few of my friends go up to Harvard today for the ASW.

Any movement for held-ers today?

This is probably a really stupid question ... but for those of you who sent an LOCI and did the postcard thing ... did you use a normal envelope and fold the postcard, or did you use an oversized envelope?

Put the postcard in a full-size overnight envelope.
