panther213 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Aww come on, give the admissions team a break! The school is going through some pretty mad chaos right now, huh? In the meantime, have a cheeky pint or two and try not to look at this forum too much ? Right now, I’m just trying to ignore that lurching feeling in my stomach whenever I think about the portal being updated with decisions soon. I’m coding a new app to pass the time—anybody doing anything that’s keeping their minds off decisions?

I have spent the day coordinating a public communications strategy for my government given WHO's declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic yesterday. Suffice to say it's been hectic af yet I STILL somehow have time to check this forum and the Admissions Blog at regular intervals. Think it's definitely time for a pint or two (or more). ? prokem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spnfiim Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Same here, but I am using my cell phone rather.. I think that HKS also realises that they have kind of delayed the process and hence their recent blog is to pacify the anxious souls like us. I am still hopeful that it won’t go into next week.

indianIRguy Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 BTW, the blog post came up at 9:15 Boston time...do you think Matt already went to office so early and became that busy by then?

Stonecold07 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I feel since they have posted about how hard they are working, they will roll out the decisions soon (before the weekend). However, not today. Best bet is tomorrow after they post about the admitted candidates. Has anyone heard from Princeton, somebody was saying they send emails prematurely to let the selected candidates know about their result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did he just write at night and scheduled it in the morning....? Anyways, I couldn’t understand the logic of recent blog. They just had to post a “copy and paste” kind of ADMITTED category blog. This would have taken lesser time then writing those lines in recent blog. Admitted blog could have given them a day or so before final release. Do they want to buy more time and so delaying the admitted blog? What they are upto? Usually, at this time, everything is already in place and they just conduct dry run at their end to see if everything is working seamlessly.. This blog could be an indication of that status.

LazarusRises Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Man, I gotta say, it's pretty cool that Harvard keeps applicants in the loop like this. We've been totally in the dark for the entire Columbia process, with only the reports of other students to go by.
