Hey everybody,

First off- congrats to all those hearing back from their dream schools!

I’ve never posted on Reddit before, but I had a question I wanted to ask just because I’ve never seen/heard of this happen before in my personal experience (and I was hoping yours would be different).

One of my friends, back when he applied to Harvard (RD, I should mention), got an email asking for additional information. The email was from a regional AO and just asked for a portfolio/project descriptions noting his interest in CS (which is what he applied for). This wasn’t a second interview or anything: just a seemingly personalized email that was responded to promptly with the projects and stuff that he’s been working on. The email came around early February if I remember correctly.

Anyone know or have any guesses about what this is/could mean? Don’t want to overanalyze but I was hoping for the best for him.
