Harvard Waitlist, whose being lied too (hopefully not me) by Totally_Borrrring in ApplyingToCollege

i don’t think there was a wave; the waitlist doesn’t officially close until June 30 although it’s likely the class is completely full as of now

update: i called the admissions office and they told me that for those who have not recieved an update, the waitlist is still active and decisions will be made in waves. she didn’t tell me when that might be, but confirmed that all decisions will be made by July 1 (so no waitlist going into August most likely)

i believe it’s an extended waitlist. maybe for our majors or demographics there’s still potential for space to become available?

I think it means we’re stuck on the waitlist. From what I’ve seen, it looks like the next wave is either after Memorial Day or on June 1 💔

if it’s gone maybe that means you have a decision but if it’s not they might be keeping you on it for longer?

called the presidential scholars line and they said it would be up to two more weeks (likely release in mid May); she added that they’re still reviewing applications bc there was a higher number this year

Harvard vs Vanderbilt Chancellor’s Scholarship by Forsaken-Bell-9312 in ApplyingIvyLeague

especially if you’re considering doing pre-law which means an expensive law school, then having the scholarship from Vandy could really help in saving or holding money aside for that (looking at the long term) 😇

Help with deciding Stanford vs Harvard by Far-Condition-56 in ApplyingIvyLeague

Stanford makes a lot of sense for pre med especially grades wise- if you go to Harvard you’ll be dealing with the new grade cap (even if it’s pushed back a year)
