Harvard University (2023-2024)

[rancid mural]

did he know ur not into

[pulsar pond]

he also knew I'm a dual citizen

the moment I sat down I told him that

[bitter path]

Im pretty sure u are in the same boat as domestic

[pulsar pond]

yeah ik

[bitter path]

Why is he waffling then?

[pulsar pond]

but also can't necessarily compare me to domestic

school system and culture is too diff

[pulsar pond]

no idea

Hong Kongers in general are just not very into extracurriculars man

[bitter path]

Anywhere outside the US man

[pulsar pond]

also because of how tough school is we just don't have time for it

[pulsar pond]

i'm not lying

[rancid mural]

no one accused you of lying

[pulsar pond]

ik

i was trying to expand

[pulsar pond]

you get off school by 4pm or 5pm

go home (u commute, could take 10 min to an hour depending on where u live)

roughly have to spend 3 hours on your hw

(in high school it could be quicker in middle school)

add in the time for eating showering whatever

there's just not enough time to do it

boarding schools are not common here

[rancid mural]

i didn't study at all in middle school 💀

[pulsar pond]

because our city is so dang small

[bitter path]

A Stanford AO said this for us brits as well, they understand how much time of our day it takes

[pulsar pond]

i hope they understand

i need a Hong Kong AO who did not just go to prestigious international schools

things are very different in intl schools and local schools

[bitter path]

Did u watch that girl on yt that said “my 🐈 got me into Harvard”

[pulsar pond]

probably talked about how raising a dog made the girl learn about responsibility, how much passion she had for animals and how she wants to protect them

just guessing

[bitter path]

I cant remember most parts of her apps but i remember she wrote about her convincing her parents to get her a cat or sum

But she literally had like 4 ECs

[pulsar pond]

must be very cracked

[bitter path]

And iirc they were most school-based

[pulsar pond]

or very stacked with hooks

[lofty depot]

oh yeah she was from the uk right?

[pulsar pond]

idk

i genuinely want to know how many ppl from Hong kong apply

[bitter path]

Her mum lives few streets away from my aunt 💀

[lofty depot]

wow

[pulsar pond]

Harvard only takes 1 to 2 Hong Kongers each year

Idk how I think I can wrangle the elite local school and rich intl school kids with admissions counselors backing them up

[bitter path]

Does it not say on ur club’s website

800 applicants from the uk and they only take 27-35 each yr 💔

[rancid mural]

mine is 300 applicants and 13 per year

for all of alabama

[lofty depot]

ur club website is so resourceful

[pulsar pond]

harvard hong kong club has close to no useful info

[lofty depot]

from my country they got like ten admits last year with just one girl lol

like that's so unfair

and discriminatory too sorry

[pulsar pond]

yes I feel it

honestly I think Harvard should be more lenient on Indian girls

especially if theyre rural

god knows how they managed to pull things off

i've heard sexism is really crazy in the Indian countryside

[lofty depot]

by Harvard or in general?

[pulsar pond]

in general

[lofty depot]

i mean there are more rural women making it to harvard somehow so idk how this works

[pulsar pond]

there's like 6 Hong Kongers in Harvard College

[lofty depot]

woah

[pulsar pond]

so they only take 1 to 2 each year

[past stag]

when are the decisions released?

[pulsar pond]

heh who am I kidding

[pulsar pond]

everybody wants to know

[lofty depot]

i'm praying for you

[pulsar pond]

love uuuu

i'm praying for u too

really mate

it's 12am

when is the admission office giving us the date

!harvardrea

!understand

[lofty depot]

[toxic oar]

its joever

[ashen carbon]

it’ll come i believe

[lofty depot]

considering that more people get deferred than rejected at harvard, can we not say a rejection is more selective guys?

[late zenith]

How do I find this

[minor pecan]

only for REA, yeah

[lofty depot]

so a rejection isn't that bad afterall

i'll make it through

[grizzled dragon]

someone had an ao interview today right?

doesn't that make you a sure shot or what?

[lofty depot]

yeah @bitter path

[late zenith]

When deferred r u compared in the deferred pool or the overall RD pool

[past stag]

will them announce some sort of a date for the results

apparently last year they did it 3 days before

so i guess it is not on the 14th then?

[lofty depot]

overall rd

[jolly lichen]

I wouldn't read too far into it

[bitter path]

Omfg

Why did i forget AOs are actual people

She said she couldn’t stop laughing after reading my roommate essay

I thought my joke was random but she seemed to find it extra funny and was laughing and I was awkwardly laughing with her but didn’t know if we were laughing at me or laughing with eachother

[bitter path]

Literally on ur club’s website

[ashen carbon]

man the only thing worse than this pounding headache i have from no sleep two days and getting second and not qualifying to supers yesterday is this weirdly pointless wait for official decision time

[sour shale]

Got a Harvard interview request for RD

They're alr looking at regular decision apps?

[brisk umbra]

maybe, prob not

the interview report they’ll review w ur app

[strange wedge]

Already!? Dang

[last spire]

!harvard

[bitter path]

U aint gonna get anything 😔

Do yaleea

[last spire]

!yale

[bitter path]

Add ea at the end

[last spire]

!yaleea

ApplyingToCollege

[last spire]

it's the same?

[bitter path]

Not fully sure but we are relying on yale for the time being as that’s the day we assuming it’s gonna be

[last spire]

oh okayy

thanks

a friend applied here and is desperately trying to find out

[strange wedge]

Yeah unfortunately no one knows

[last spire]

sadge

[rancid mural]

We have been using YST

as our best guess

cus its the predicted date

[minor pecan]

furman a goat

[deep vigil]

absolute buffoon how does he have so much free time

[deep vigil]

based but hes about 200 years too late

[brisk umbra]

😂

[lofty depot]

bruh why is life so unfair

[minor pecan]

idk if I was even allowed to send that here but oh well

[bronze swan]

So decisions might not come out Thursday then?

[rancid mural]

no idea

we dont know why its late

could come out this evening

[bronze swan]

I feel like less people applied too

[ashen carbon]

oh oops mb

[barren burrow]

Idk the full circumstances surrounding the pic Luck sent but idt this is the right place to talk about it

[ashen carbon]

valid

[rancid mural]

why?

[ashen carbon]

why?

[rancid mural]

why would less apply

that would never happen lmao

[ashen carbon]

yeah also

any turmoil surrounding the school got amplified weeks after the rea deadline

[rancid mural]

normally about 10k apply rea

and about 720 are accepted

[lofty depot]

that sounds like a good number somehow

[lofty depot]

how many would be aldc?

500 or something?

[rancid mural]

there is no way to estimate

[lofty depot]

bruh

[mossy mortar]

i think a few hundred is a good estimate

what cause it’s like 300 athletes

i’d guess 100-200 legacies

yeah so like 500 is a good estimate

[lofty depot]

so like 250 spots 💀

for unhooked ppl

[bitter path]

For both domestic and international ppl 🥲

[dry pecan]

anybody know when rea gonna be released?

[lofty depot]

wow now it's getting rough

and prolly another miniature pool for non-interviewed international applicants

[lofty depot]

or maybe it just doesn't exist

[minor pecan]

this number seems high

actually hmm

[mossy mortar]

at pton it’s 300

20% class is athletes

[minor pecan]

10-15% of the class is recruited athletes and they mostly come through REA

so probably like 150-200 athletes

Based off last year’s statistics, 9,553 applicants and 722 were accepted

so there are like 600 spots for non-athletes

and then legacies are prob a solid 100 or so

so yeah 500 spots for non-legacies and athletes seems plausible

[lofty depot]

you needed all that calculation? It just took me a second to figure out huh

[minor pecan]

I give justifications rather than jumping to conclusions

which is why I am better

[lofty depot]

ok genius! Then tell us (based on your calculations ofc) do we any spot for unhooked non-interviewed international applicants in this 500 pool?

[minor pecan]

Probably not if I’m being completely honest, but I’m not an admissions officer so I can’t say anything for sure

[lofty depot]

you're better when you're mean ngl

[minor pecan]

I will get banned next time I’m mean unfortunately

[lofty depot]

ohk sir

[lofty depot]

[bronze swan]

Cause more people are realizing how hard it is to get into Harvard rea and are just doing regular or ed to another top school

[minor pecan]

That won’t happen

[bronze swan]

The Reddit and college confidential are not active at all

[bitter path]

Did u ever come across anyone on campus that didn’t have an interview??

[rancid mural]

that would never happen lmao

[minor pecan]

You didn’t think this

[rancid mural]

ppl who wanna go to harvard are gonna apply regardless

[minor pecan]

No

[bitter path]

Mrs luck my prayers are with u frfr

[lofty depot]

that's only possible if he gets off the damn discord server

[lofty depot]

[minor pecan]

maybe @jolly lichen can comment on this

since he was here longer

[bronze swan]

No I know but I think less are doing rea

Idk tho I might be dulu

[rancid mural]

doubt

[minor pecan]

won’t happen, otherwise we would’ve seen similar trends at yale

[rancid mural]

its increased every year, the lawsuit wont change that

[minor pecan]

maybe it’ll go down a little

just naturally

but not by a significant amount

and the acceptance rate likely wouldn’t change either way

still would be hard to get in

[bronze swan]

Oh also because of Covid and gap years that’s why I think I read somewhere that number of applicants should start to peak at top schools like Harvard last year

[minor pecan]

Sounds like a skill issue mixed with copium and hopium

[rancid mural]

hii everyone

[lofty depot]

what's hopium?

[minor pecan]

Used among online communities, “Hopium” is an internet slang term that is used to mock blind hope or optimism.

[lofty depot]

hii there (please beware ppl are very rude here)

[minor pecan]

This person is a liar

Don’t listen to them

[rancid mural]

(i've never used reddit before so that is good to know, thanks haha)

[minor pecan]

This is discord mf

[lofty depot]

oh applies to me then ig thanks

[rancid mural]

i mean that i came here from reddit

never used either

[minor pecan]

Ok

[rancid mural]

^harvard intelligence right here

[lofty depot]

I'd say come back after luck is gone. Not a very safe place rn u see

[minor pecan]

😐

[bronze swan]

Same here bro I just started using Reddit and discord for college apps

[sick adder]

gg

[lofty depot]

what's up with that 'warior' spelling bruh

[sick adder]

Pg 62 "The college determined that roughly 79.5% of the accepted class during the Restrictive Early Action (REA) cycle self-identified as one of the following: athlete, legacy, child of facility, donor, or low-income student (categorized by a HHI of <70K USD*)."

[bronze swan]

Bro I am so bad at spelling

[lofty depot]

[rancid mural]

oh wow

[bronze swan]

Also both are spelled wrong and then the username is always available so I don’t have to use numbers

[lofty depot]

do u fit in these categories?

[rancid mural]

no, not at all

[lofty depot]

yeah guess that was smart of you then but i don't think display number is unique anyway so you can literally write anything

nevermind though

[floral oyster]

what is a child of facility

[lofty depot]

wow

[minor pecan]

One of the luck’s made this up lmao

No way yall believe it

[stable pecan]

faculty -- like a son of the professor

[rancid mural]

you? 🥲

[minor pecan]

I guess i was right when you can quote lawsuit and people will believe it

[stable pecan]

it was from the docu tbh

[lofty depot]

I am

[stable pecan]

no like actually

[minor pecan]

You got trolled

[rancid mural]

i alrdy wrote this in the subreddit but would anyone living in the US want to call the admissions office?

[minor pecan]

He sent me in dm

[floral oyster]

yeah i know what faculty is, facility is something else tho lol

[minor pecan]

You’re gulliible as fuck

[rancid mural]

to ask whenish they're releasing the decisions

[stable pecan]

misspelling lol

[bitter path]

It’s not real 💀 u can just make anything up and call it a day by saying it’s on the lawsuit

[minor pecan]

do you think they would misspell on the lawsuit doc bro

[floral oyster]

yeah exactly lol

[minor pecan]

I forgot which luck it was

They dmed me

Wait

There’s too many of them fuc

[stable pecan]

who has the lawsuit doc link ?

[minor pecan]

@radiant sorrel

[rancid mural]

even if it's not true, i think we all know that most ppl accepted are one of those things

[stable pecan]

he Dmed u to say he's lying?

[floral oyster]

someone sent it like yesterday or the day before here i think

[stable pecan]

thanks

[lofty depot]

who are you? and where were you? we finally getting smart ppl on this server

[stable pecan]

appreciate you snitching luck

[minor pecan]

Np

I mean it’s pretty obvious to begin with

child of facility

[rancid mural]

i can sense the sarcasm through the screen lmao

[lofty depot]

now I get why you keep asking ppl to dm

traitor

[stable pecan]

skimming made me correct it automatically

[minor pecan]

I never do

only June does that

I don’t want you guys to dm me

[lofty depot]

why do ppl always interpret the opposite of what I say?!

[stable pecan]

For future reference, this stat is a made up stat so ignore it thx

[minor pecan]

I think you should resign your role @stable pecan

and give to me

[rancid mural]

idk it sounds mildly sarcastic hahah

[stable pecan]

you'd have to be reborn as a non troller to be mod

[minor pecan]

😐

[rancid mural]

^

[lofty depot]

nah I was serious

[rancid mural]

ah okay lol

[sick adder]

aight qt

[stable pecan]

about wht

[lofty depot]

wait you are international?

[bitter path]

Why do u wanna call the admission office??

Just drop them an email if it’s that important

[rancid mural]

to ask when the admissions decision will be released. ik someone a few yrs ago called and they got a time frame

[minor pecan]

He wants you bad @stable pecan

[sick adder]

[bronze swan]

[sick adder]

[lofty depot]

[rancid mural]

[minor pecan]

because almost all domestics/citizens get an interview

duh

[lofty depot]

yeah cause harvard is biased

[minor pecan]

yeah good

[rancid mural]

it went well, i think - nobody from my school has gotten in REA in probably abt two decades so i was surprised to have gotten one (nobody here knows how this process works lol)

inc domestic ppl

[sick adder]

not everyone domestic gets an interview

2/11 for my boarding school got an rea interview last year

[bitter path]

And how many of them got in?

[sick adder]

one kid was RSI the other had lots of published research at yale

[lofty depot]

that's nice! Good like with your decision 🙂

[minor pecan]

Boarding school mfs trying to fit in with the rest of us

[ashen carbon]

i wonder if it's reverse-psychological parental schmoozing

[small nacelle]

[small nacelle]

most of the people who live where I live, live here because they work at harvard so they have to be close

[bitter path]

Exactly my point 💀 she probably has the most solid hooks amongst us

[minor pecan]

I’m not going to lie and say it’s all good but maybe something could work out

[ashen carbon]

shoot your shot but don't count on it

everyone's doing that even the people with the best stats

[minor pecan]

What do you want me to say

[mint portal]

can you apply to your state school

[rancid mural]

[viscid pike]

[rancid mural]

[ashen carbon]

yeah that sounds accurate

[minor pecan]

^ true

[ashen carbon]

exacerbates the impostor syndrome

my friend got zuck's bil

as his interviewer

[rancid mural]

i'd feel so weird at harvard knowing theres all these ppl who won international competitions

[ashen carbon]

nah

theyre really normal

[mint portal]

unless you're one of those tiktok/youtube guys that does it for a viral video

but usually that's just SAT

[ashen carbon]

it's just compounded approval

which ultimately feels the same as normal validation

[minor pecan]

there are normal people

i’m one of them

[rancid mural]

i'd be terrified of being in one of those videos 💀 i'd decline immediately

[mint portal]

hi one of them

[ashen carbon]

like winning olympiads doesn't feel far better than that swim meet you've been trying to win for years

[minor pecan]

hi

[rancid mural]

the comment section would be a hellscape

[mint portal]

it really depends

[small nacelle]

Do people get interviewed a lot at Harvard like people just constantly try to come up to you and talk to you

[minor pecan]

True

[mint portal]

[small nacelle]

does anyone know if you can find out if you're on the deans interest list? asking for a friend

[ashen carbon]

how do they select their students

[mint portal]

i think we could've afforded it

[minor pecan]

you can call the dean

[obtuse pine]

You’d be admitted

[minor pecan]

success rate is questionable tho

sometimes negative

[ashen carbon]

i applied

[small nacelle]

hm

[mint portal]

if i ever get into a good school im not going to have much time for this place anymore

because i don't want to end up peaking in high school

you’re a real programmer

🤓☝️

[ashen carbon]

[strange wedge]

Omg bro I have soooo many Exeter friends

[strange wedge]

Bro u and this combo

[ashen carbon]

there was a kid who left my school after 6th grade

[strange wedge]

Yeah that just means he was insane

[mint portal]

do you wanna know the best pickup line to use on a male cs major

[ashen carbon]

everyone at my school was like how

he left because he was a terrible student'

[strange wedge]

Some Exeter kids tho 💀

Ima leave it at that

[strange wedge]

Bruh

[ashen carbon]

*jada

[minor pecan]

i have faith

it’ll be ok

[ashen carbon]

LMAO

[rancid mural]

is it hard to have an A at harvard @minor pecan

or is the scale usually generous

[noble yoke]

My state school is UVA

[minor pecan]

I think if you actually try and study it’s not too hard but depends on your major

[noble yoke]

😦

[minor pecan]

usually an A is like 93+

[rancid mural]

92 is a B?

[noble yoke]

WHAT

[minor pecan]

A-

[noble yoke]

Oh

[rancid mural]

oh yall have that system

[noble yoke]

Our school just does A

[rancid mural]

yeah same

[noble yoke]

YA

A- would give me a heart attack

[rancid mural]

90-100 = A
80-89 = B

and so on

[minor pecan]

I think it’s hard to get a C due to grade inflation but it’s not necessarily easy to get an A

though it depends what classes you’re taking

[noble yoke]

Ya

[minor pecan]

most people get B to A- but avg gpa here is like 3.6-3.7 which is mostly A minuses

[noble yoke]

My counselor said uva is not a safety for Virginia kids even

[rancid mural]

so i should take easy classes so i can get into grad school, got it

[ashen carbon]

no

the hard ones are probably fun

ive actually heard really good things about 55

[rancid mural]

$105 to submit a grad school application is crazy to me

thats so much money

for one app

[mint portal]

ive never heard of an economics olympiad lol

[pulsar pond]

I did open track

[mint portal]

hong kong

what is open track

[pulsar pond]

I call it the no prestige version of the economics olympiad

[mint portal]

the only economics competition i have ever heard of is the adam smith one

[pulsar pond]

ik it's very new and it's made by a group of Russians, Greeks and Brazillians

[mint portal]

do you need to qualify through a selection process

[pulsar pond]

so i think the admissions office just won't take it seriously

[mint portal]

personally i feel like an economics olympiad would be hard to implement

[pulsar pond]

for open track technically no

[mint portal]

oh rip

[pulsar pond]

but most people that go to the open track are reserves for their countries' representing teams

I was a reserve for Hong Kong's team

[mint portal]

would've been cool to say you represented hong kong at the IEO

do you know the physics oly kids in hong kong

i got a couple friends there

[pulsar pond]

no fucking idea

[mint portal]

you probably already know this kid but this one kid taught me physics and he went to APhO and IPhO as a fucking 13 year old
