Also Held... Keeping my chin up though. I have great softs and 5 + years of work experience in non profits. Better than being WL or rejected I guess.

For those of us who submitted mid-October and beyond (as that seems to be the cutoff in the hold/ding decisions thus far) any idea when the next batch will come? I submitted 10/17 and am trying to guage what the timeline will be.

I submitted the first week of October and was in the 10/27 complete email batch. Haven't heard a peep yet. I'm bracing for the inevitable.

Re: Harvard 2012 applicants (class of 2015)
Some people who submitted late-October and a couple who submitted early-November have already been rejected according to LSN. I am not sure about the holds. It could be that they're going in waves throughout today. During the last couple of cycles there were a couple of days of rejections and then the holds came the next day, so there could be more dings on the way as well.arez wrote:For those of us who submitted mid-October and beyond (as that seems to be the cutoff in the hold/ding decisions thus far) any idea when the next batch will come?

Re: Harvard 2012 applicants (class of 2015)
PS I was part of the 10/27 batch. submitted early october. Kind of expected something today because HLS adcoms posted a 2 month review period before being rejected, wl'd or held. links to that blog post are pages back.XCanadian91 wrote:Also Held...

Great work - tysnehpets wrote:So I went through last year's held thread out of curiosity. About 10 of the posters who were held eventually got JR1s, about half of those eventually got in. Others seem to have been waitlisted. So not necessarily a soft reject.

This is the first time I read the phrase K-JD...and I love it. I'm happy to say I am NOT a K-JD, but you guys are just so cute. ::pinches your cheeks::Nelson wrote:It seemed like a lot of K-JDs got dinged last week? So maybe WE making a difference? That's the only thing I can think of besides a generic "must have been softs" answer. Especially since my softs are mediocre at best. I'll take it either way.snehpets wrote:Surprised at the numbers of the people getting held as compared to those rejected last week. Happy for you guys of course! But I do wonder what the reasoning was.

WHOA. Did anyone get that e-mail from Akron Law and think it might've been from Harvard? My heart sank for a brief second.
Haha.

I think it'll happen.
BTW for those who were held: last year, Harvard accepted people off the hold list as early as late January.

No hold, no ding, I am also 10/17 submit/10/24 received. I feel like a dodged one bullet, and that many more are right behind it.

submitted first week of October, complete 10/27 and joining the group in total radio silence. I feel like I'm waiting in line for the guillotine.

I feel like they might be on their lunch break right now....this may explain why the holds paused for a while.

Woke up from a nap to hold e-mail.
No KB1, 177/3.8, in ugrad. Expected a rejection because of 10/6 submission, so this is relatively happy.
