I didn't get in. I kinda knew it
Well done everyone! -
Just got in as well! I'm a US student.
My Sparks account hasn't been updated yet though -- anyone else find the same?
I haven't received anything yet?
-
Sure. Have you applied this year too? Or just deciding to apply?
-
Soapcase, seriously, it's an estimation. YKSL is not psychic. lol. We're all waiting for the outcome

It's a quiet day today here in the Grad Cafe lol

Hey guys, thought you might want to watch this youtube video posted a week ago. It's Harvard Students celebrating Azerbaijan day, really great cultural dancing.
Shows diversity at its best.

I haven't read the article yet but shall read it soon. Just wanted to say that I've been to two university's where I studied law. Undergrad and post grad, anyways, the first university I went to was filled with about 250 law students studying first year, and the second was made up of just 70 students maximum. I have to say that the first university I went too was far better. Yes there were more students, but you had the chance to shine when you debated with lecturers. They were much more friendlier and sympathising. the smaller uni where I studied my post grad was terrible. Because it was a small year group all the teachers knew everything about you. If you didn't do well on one essay, the whole faculty knew. In turn that led to stereotypes. My friend with me who studied at Oxford university, said that the university was so much more stressful, then Oxford itself. Really and truly, wen there's a small year group you don't have the chance to mix with different people, you cant escape a stereotype or prejudice because it clings to you and is often discussed knowingly or unknowingly by the faculty, your grades and everything about you becomes attached to you. Whereas if your at a uni with larger numbers, you have the chance to meet different people, your interaction with the teachers relies on your qualities and wanting to stand out, you can escape from discussions sometimes by being silent when your not in the mood to converse because we all have our bad days when were just pissed or can't be asked. So in short I'm glad I'm a number, because my personality will let me have the chance to alter it into a face and a recognisable smile.

haha.... okay game on!
-
I knew it would be too early. I have a feeling, call me psychic or something, it's coming out on the 21st.
So what's the winner going to get?
-
@IdealThinker -- love your positive posts!
Aww thank you coffee-fan.
i'm glad you like them! -
Just realised I wrote 22nd instead of 21st,
So to clarify, i'm keeping 21st of March at 1pm or near abouts

It's not about second guessing, thing is I doubt statistics fits into their decision making process. One of these days the results are coming out. Lol why worry about statistics? It's cute that people are thinking about the admissions process, but really you're going to drive yourselves mad. Maybe I'm relaxed not because I'm confident in getting in, far from it, I actually think I won't. But harvard or no harvard, I'm confident enough to realise that there's more to life then harvard. I'd love the experience, to meet like minded ppl etc, nut if it doesn't happen it just means other doors will open!
-
Wow guys you lot are really thinking about it, statistics and all! Lol it's kinda cute.
-
Guys what on earth are you talking about?
-
Completely agree! We really need to push our doubts aside. And just try to relax. Some of us are going to be well happy when we get the results, others filled with disappointment. So we really just need to put things in perspective and be like, if I get in then great, and if not, yes it's upsetting, but there's more to life then Harvard and there's plenty more dreams!
-
Yeah I will be, even if I don't get in. Might as well contribute!

I've developed a Pavlovian response to the blinking red light on my Blackberry...
Me too keep checking my iPhone reading your responses!
