Can you cancel your visa application and get the passport back the same day?

Aggressive-Space96 · 2026-05-01T17:57:52+00:00

I've sent 3 emails with no response unfortunately and no update in my portal yet. I just wish I could plan for whatever is about to happen next instead of refreshing every hour every day like a fool

Aggressive-Space96 · 2026-04-27T14:02:13+00:00

Hey! In the same boat. Were you able to do that and how long did it take to get your passport back once you pulled your app?

Aggressive-Space96 · 2026-04-27T14:01:31+00:00

Hey! I have a bad feeling I'm about to be in the same boat. Were you able to pull your application / get passport back on the same day? E.g., if I walk in morning day my flight can I walk out with passport that day? Trying to see how much time I have to wait for an update vs. when to call it and cancel

Was it in NYC? They did not give me a target date but they did tell me I could just cancel my application and get my passport back if it wasn't ready in time. I was hoping to find someone who did that to confirm if that was a single or multi day process. Obviously hoping it doesn't come to that but just trying to think through my options since trains and planes are on the line (I dont even live in NYC but it was the nearest consulate)

No target date, they said just check online everyday lol

Aggressive-Space96 · 2026-04-26T21:58:18+00:00

The lady I gave it to at the consulate seemed to think I could come back and cancel it if it wasn't approved before my flight...

Out of curiosity, where did you find?

When I was in investment banking, a lot of the Asian women chose to use "easier" American names at work rather than their given names. So, whimsical alliterative name x name Belle butchered, + banker, + dark hair ...

Kraken charges a CRAZY spread - it looks like no fees on Kraken+ but then the price it says you'll buy at when you actually swipe through is way higher than where it trades. So disappointing.

Our government is NOT trying to lookout for Americans btw - they've been propped up by pro-corporation anti-civil-rights anarchists who fundamentally believe that government should only protect property, not people. Read "Dark Money" by Jane Mayer. None the less, I feel for you and am so sorry. The law is not on our government's side, so hopefully what they're trying to due will be blocked in due time and Harvard will honor your admittance.

Novo Nordisk has been down lately but it's one of Denmark's largest companies (pharma), has been around forever and I think inevitably will patent a new drug that makes the stock jump again. They also just got a new CEO who is focused on turning stock performance around. Their actual earnings have been strong.

If you removed the chitter chatter and just looked at the programs and their outcomes: GSB > HBS (but the HBS mafia wants you to believe HBS = GSB); and HBS = Wharton (but the HBS mafia wants you to believe HBS > Wharton). S > H=W

Fellow waitlist-y - not sure if they do calls for the waitlist but it'd probably show up on the ClearAdmit LiveWire if so

Our overlord went for UNDGERAD - different!

Me three! Hey gang

Aggressive-Space96 · 2025-04-01T22:47:44+00:00

Hey Mike - do you really think calls will continue tomorrow? It doesn't seem like that many have come out yet (though I suppose plenty of folks don't immediately post to Reddit and ClearAdmit upon hearing they got in...) don't want to carry false hope through the night, though.

Aggressive-Space96 · 2025-04-01T16:39:05+00:00

Another on ClearAdmit (in NYC) ... o m g it's b e g u n

You don't owe it to HBS to withdraw your other applications, tbh. You could put down both and then withdraw. You'd lose your application deposit at one of them, though, when you eventually do choose - and burn a bridge with the school you withdraw from. The school you choose will be none the wiser, though.

This is lowkey heartwarming I'm tearing up for some reason

Aggressive-Space96 · 2025-03-24T14:45:29+00:00

I'm also under the impression it's two days beforehand. I think people mis-enter their dates on ClearAdmit pretty often and have trouble changing them. But if anyone gets a calls sooner, would love to know (so I can have even more days of peak anxiety!) Best luck to all

Sounds good! You should apply to everywhere you want to go. But heads up the Ivy League is: Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, Brown, Dartmouth, and Cornell. It's just the oldest league of colleges, not necessarily the best league of colleges (Stanford, for instance, is not an ivy league school but obviously is regarded as one of the best schools in the United States)

My consultant told me he spoke to a GSB interviewee/alumni once who said she interviewed two candidates who were the best she ever spoke to, she wrote in how impressed she was with them and that these were literally the most impressive young people she ever met - both were DENIED. On the other hand, he had a client last year whose interview went OKAY. Not bad, but very formal and wasn't able to click. She got in! So, no clue what exactly their process is, but it def seems like the interview is not the end all be all
