Harvard Post

[Stately Plump]

Wow! I stay away for a few days and miss so much. Congrats to all the acceptees! I'm guessing we haven't had rejections in yet? At least, I haven't heard anything...

I've heard nothing as well, which I understand to mean I'm hearing nothing good...

[lpbuck09]

Has anyone called to see when they'll finish sending out notifications? I'm counting as a rejection, but I'd still like to know...

[TripWillis]

Is it weird that I want my Harvard rejection just so I can see something with Harvard letterhead that's addressed to me?

[lpbuck09]

Not weird at all! I got into Harvard Divinity last year and decided not to go. It felt kind of good to turn down Harvard, but I definitely didn't appreciate that acceptance as much as I would after this grueling process!

That is 100% the reason that I still check my mailbox eagerly every afternoon, even though I know I got rejected.

Does anyone have a rejection in hand from Harvard English yet? Everyone's still waiting for confirmation, right?

[Silent_G]

Still waiting. I know it's coming, but don't officially have it yet. Or maybe it isn't coming. Maybe they can't be bothered to send out the rejection letters and they expect us to realize we're not worthy.

[Stately Plump]

I don't think rejections have gone out yet. I, too, am looking forward to the Harvard letterhead

[girlmostlikely]

I got my rejection letter in the mail today. It assured me that my application got the "full consideration" of faculty members in my field. I wonder if this is a coded way of saying that I made it to the final rounds, or if it's just a formal nicety they say to everyone?

Alas, I just accepted the offer of another Ivy League school yesterday, and everyone--even faculty from the other schools that accepted me, it seems--believes that it's the best place for me.

[lyonessrampant]

That was in my rejection letter last year. . .I think it is a standard letter, but congrats on your other Ivy offer!

[TripWillis]

I want MY letter now.

[Stately Plump]

My letter is probably being mailed to my dad's house, so I won't get to see it in person for a bit.

I told him we should frame it.

[DorindaAfterThyrsis]

I imagine the dudes at customs are getting a good chuckle by holding mine up. I probably won't see my official H-jection until June...2013.

I heart Canada Post .

[TripWillis]

Official! Nice short letter.

[hiphopanonymous]

Mine's official, too. I appreciate the paper notice over having to look up my application PIN to log in for a rejection. Which I stopped doing after the first one. Nobody links to good news, turns out.

[Silent_G]

Got mine too! It was kind of exciting.

[Pynchonette]

Come on already Harvard, I want my official Harvard stationary with my name on it so I can frame it and love it and treasure it forever

[pelevinfan]

Got mine last week! (Been away from the boards in honor of finals). It was exciting for about 30 seconds, then heart-breaking for another 30. Then I stopped caring and resumed going about my life. Who needs you, Harvard?

Love whoever posted this in the Harvard results. I laughed.

Has anyone still not gotten their Harvard letter? I am afraid they have forgotten me and I will be deprived of my Harvard stationary
