2022-2023 Harvard

[erosalie]

Has anyone who interviewed heard anything from HMS financial aid? I've heard a lot from Yale about the financial aid application and deadlines but nothing from HMS. Their website showed that last year's HMS financial aid application was due March 15th, but I haven't received any emails about how to complete it.

from the canvas site:

The application process for financial assistance is separate from the admissions process. The Committee on Admissions follows a long-standing policy of selecting candidates without regard to the candidate's ability to pay for medical school. Candidates selected for admission or for the wait list are invited to apply for financial assistance and will be sent the necessary application forms.

Last year's SDN thread shows that financial aid apps are typically due mid March!

How we all doing, friends

I have a good feeling about this one, hoping for the pre-II A soon!

Didn't even apply to Harvard but I'm sure hoping for one!

 

[UnsolicitedSlug]

I'm gunna email Harvard a rejection email before they can reject me. Sorry Harvard, while you are very qualified, I have decided to pursue other schools at this time. Best of luck in your medical journey, nerds.

Sorry for disturbing the peace but I really wish these post-II decisions could come sooner...

Haha, I was hoping someone would break the silence because the release date being less than two weeks after months of waiting is agonizing

I keep anxiously checking even though I know I’m not gonna hear back just yet.

Getting an email from HMS with the subject line "Secure Your Spot for Fall 2023" this morning sent me into palpitations. And then was the masters program :,)

That feeling when you don't even get the masters program email

Mine was as well but told me to look at the portal to see my decision

 

[sunshower26]

[Orims]

Email!! I got mine at roughly 6 AM PST.

Edit: This was when I got my decision 2 years ago.

Yale made people with Rs check the portal, and def sent emails for WLs. Not sure about As.

that's so funny why would they do that lmfao

 

[sunshower26]

Lol kind of not cool that they sent emails for As and WLs and made Rs check the portal. Irony that I'm criticizing Yale on the Harvard forum isn't lost

R here. It was just the adcom team doing the griddy on our burning application. Crazy stuff.

So you're saying it ~could~ come out tomorrow...

 

[MercifulCamper]

snowstorm here in CT today - wonder if it's anything serious in Boston and if a snow day could delay decisions at any schools?

I work at Harvard, it is functioning completely at capacity today so should not.

 

[seekertribe]

Maybe Friday March 3

 

[pitayo]

Did anyone else get an email today asking them to upload their SSN to the portal?

 

[WildflowerMcGee]

I uploaded my SSN to the portal a while ago. (I think it was before the interview.) So no I didnt get that email.

 

[liao1]

Yeah has nothing to do with whether you’re admitted or not same thing happened last year

 

[a_distant_dream]

Somehow my mind keeps drifting back to this. Fingers crossed for everyone here.

So how is everyone passing the time? Thankfully(?) it’s midterm season, so trying to poke my head in the sand and focus on those. But alas, I still keep checking the forum hoping for news haha

I've spent an inordinate amount of time in bed over the past week. The anxiety from waiting is surprisingly tiring ...

My parents are actively placing bets (of like $1) on whether they are releasing decisions tomorrow or Friday...

I have a big assessment tomorrow, my heart wouldn't be able to take it ...

 

[Dogruffle01]

My birds tell me decision day is Friday. Good luck everyone. May the odds ever be in your favor.

For those of you who happen to be interested: My dad is clearly winning (Friday bet). My mom (Wednesday bet) is not too thrilled that we have to wait another two days. She said, "They have to know at this point! What good does two additional days do??? I guess if they tell you Friday then it gives you all less time to pester them about the results of your decision... Smart on their part. Stinks for you all." I feel that many of us share this sentiment. See y'all Friday!

Dang, March 6th for the financial aid application. Does this mean Friday or Monday? :0
