Got the "app received" email today, status changed on AADSAS

 

[mst0330]

Does your status say "Received/Under Review" [specifically] (?)

Yup that’s what it saids

 

[boston2512]

Sameeeee

 

[Boronew]

[boston2512]

I got the email to submit the fee

 

[Boronew]

I got the email to submit the fee

Paid the fee on June 11.

Did you guys do anything besides submitting the AADSAS app?

Does anyone know if a letter from a chemistry lab TA will suffice as a letter from a faculty member?

Would try to get it co-signed by the professor if you’re gonna go this route. Email Harvard admissions to confirm.

Most schools would prefer a professor, next best thing would be if they co-signed the letter. A graduate student doesn’t carry as much weight compared to a university professor. So you should check to make sure. Would this letter only be going to Harvard?

 

[mst0330]

Got the App complete email with timeline

 

[CS2117]

Just received app complete email with timeline. I applied June 1st verified June 5th.

 

[boca32]

has anyone that submitted on or after july 13th received the app complete email?

 

[Wowie1214]

Saw the interview invite tracker. Anyone know how what dates they sent for invite and stats for first round interviewees?

 

[Ryxndek]

Saw the interview invite tracker. Anyone know how what dates they sent for invite and stats for first round interviewees?

Stats were very high. >95th percentile for DAT and very high GPA. Along with well rounded application.

Will not disclose anymore than that unless the user wants to do it themselves.

 

[clam22]

Did anybody else who received a first round interview also just receive the second round intevriew?

 

[CS2117]

What date was your first round interview?

 

[clam22]

What date was your first round interview?

Mine was September 7th. I just got the second invite earlier today.

 

[predentstudent2001]

Did anybody else who received a first round interview also just receive the second round intevriew?

I did! I think everyone who got the first round interview received the second round email

 

[Medumond12]

Anyone recently have their ADEA App status change to under review? And if so, if you’ve received an interview/ how long after it changed that you did?

 

[Wowie1214]

For those who received a 2nd round interview how soon after the 1st round were you notified

 

[pockyy]

Does anyone know if Harvard send out a second wave of first round interviews?

 

[runningwithpastels]

Does anyone know if Harvard send out a second wave of first round interviews?

I think so because I got mine relatively late. Just finished second interview.

how was your second round interview?

 

[runningwithpastels]

Very friendly and easy going. This is probably the most relaxed school for conversations.

 

[dental143]

does anyone know when they'll be calling?

 

[clam22]

I got one at 9:50

 

[runningwithpastels]

I got one at 9:50

Congratulations! They only have to call like 35 people, right? It shouldn't take them very long.

 

[CS2117]

I received my acceptance call at 10:15!

 

[Wowie1214]

How long do acceptance calls happen throughout the day?

 

[dental143]

^^^

 

[runningwithpastels]

Assuming no call by now probably means not happening. That's okay. Do have to say getting a reminder email to visit campus this morning--- without having gotten a call-- was one of those "??!! " .... " Drat. " moments. Lol. Oh well. Got accepted to two other schools so will feel good about that. Good luck to everyone!! Be happy where you land!

 

[runningwithpastels]

I received my acceptance call at 10:15!

Congratulations!!

 

[Wowie1214]

I received my acceptance call at 10:15!

Congratulations! May I ask what would the first letter of your last name be?

 

[dental143]

Are they done with calls today?

 

[runningwithpastels]

Are they done with calls today?

Someone reported they saw that yes, they are done now until mid January. Don't know if it's accurate but someone else said that.

What do you mean by this, as in someone on admissions reported or an applicant?

 

[rainpudi]

Can someone please let me know if there is a facebook page or something else to look for roomates for fall 2024 for new incoming students.

 

[CS2117]

Declined my seat - best of luck to everyone hoping to hear back!

 

[dental143]

Did anyone hear back?

[CuriousCat12]

Has anyone heard anything?? Pretty surprised that at this point no decisions (acceptances, waitlists, rejections) have been made and no one has mentioned anything

With such a small class size and limited interviews, it’s going to feel like zero activity. A lot of students also don’t want to post out of fear of being recognized. Students have been accepted, I’d wait until March which is usually when further waitlist movement occurs
