The time has come my friends; just thought may be we could record this 7-day period and keep track of the admission offers. Good luck to one & all :)

Do you think we will hear from them before March 21?
I hope so; this tension is unbearable.
Good luck to everybody (and please write us if Yale calls).

Does any one know if the letters have been send out Friday or will all by bulk be send out Monday?

Also, if you get accepted was is the first deposit?
I heard 500 dollars is that correct?

My understanding is that they're sending the letters via snail mail, which means (eg, for me) that if they make the decisions this week - I would not get it (best case scenario)until middle April.....

Mid April?? Where do you live that it takes 4 weeks to receive mail from the States? Four other universities sent me their letters via FedEx/UPS, so I dont think that its gonna be snail mail (maybe for rejections though). I mean, why else would we pay application fees.

I'm afraid it will be a long long wait.
Be strong and good luck!

I thought they would use email before I knew better & that they would in fact be MAILING the decisions

The application complete notification they sent says that we should keep them in the loop abt any change of mailing correspondence address - I guess thats a bit of a give-away in terms of their intent - that of using airmail/courier

CLS and NYU seem to be far more advanced/polished in this department at least... I hope the wait will be worthwhile. Fingers crossed

just a matter of days- hours now.
I called Harvard today and they told me all decisions will be made by the 22nd.
As soon as I know the outcome of my application I will post it online. ( fingers crossed, hope I got in!)

Does that mean that they aren't mailing anything until Thursday? Or will they be mailing stuff out continuously until the 22nd?

How did you hear about your admission decision? Did you give HLS a call? Or was it by e-mail?

wow, congrats to those admitted... it sounds like the admits are being notified en masse... which probably isn't good news for me. oh well, maybe next year. : )

HLS started phoning to admitted students more than a week ago (my case) but they asked them to keep the news for themselfs in order to avoid that other applicants start calling "en masse" their office and believe that they have been rejected (indeed all admission decisions had not been taken at that time).

I believe that they started sending out official emails today, but i do not know if not getting an email today means that you are not admitted.

Obviously your chances are becoming less important, but until you haven't received a rejection there is the possibility of being admitted. So do not loose faith and try to be patient ( I know this is very difficult)

Congrats to all the admitted and I am happy to meet you next year at this exceptional university

Congrats to everyone admitted. No e-mail for me, guess not admitted. Anyone of you guys admitted who first (i.e. last week) received the mail saying an earlier decision was not possible?
