I would say no harm in asking, but also very little to gain. I simply cannot imagine a scenario in which someone’s admission status changes because they sent a friendly email inquiring about the announcement date. That being said, do we really think they know the date and whoever is monitoring the inbox is going to respond with the exact date and time of the announcement to some random applicant who just happened to ask?
I hope it’s right too, although I wouldn’t assume that the people running these various sessions are the same people involved in the admissions announcement. Maybe they just want the day after St. Patrick’s Day off
Congrats! Were GRE’s optional for Berkeley like they were for HKS? Curious how GRE scores are being taken into consideration when not all candidates are submitting them.
Some have, some have not. I can’t imagine that it really means anything, although it would seem to make more sense for either everyone or no one to get it, so who knows...?
Did anyone outside the US receive the magazine? Maybe they are sending to applicants who are also Harvard employees, or current Harvard undergrads etc.? Or re-applicants? There must be some rhyme/reason to some getting it and others not.
