It just hit me that March 1st is only three weeks away.
I can't decide whether to be excited or terrified.

That's true. Do we even know 15th is the original date, or was that just last year's date?I'm trying not to build up too much anticipation for March 1st. A lot of factors play into getting the decisions ready. I'm anticipating between the first and the fifteenth.
Is it just because I have the "ostrich syndrome," but I personally think ignorance is bliss. =p
Yeah, I doubt it's so clear cut as March 1 or March 15. I wouldn't put bets on a certain day.
(off-topic) - I interviewed at Harvard early Oct. I can't even remember what my Harvard interview was like anymore...do any people who interviewed early feel that way? I just find it funny how this was my first interview, but likely to be my last decision. Hoping for the best!!!!
Anyone know when HMS wrapped up interviews?
I just remembered that they had a little fly painted on each of the men's urinals. Any of you guys see those?
............................
my university has the same thing, it's only on the waterless urinals and is to help you aim so your piss doesn't splatter on the walls and floor
Anyone know how Harvard feels about post-interview update letters?
I've emailed two updates and I did not receive a reply the first time but I did get a nice reply the second time, saying they had attached it to my file.
OMG, March 1st is officially next week!!!!
Have other people heard that March 1st is set in stone for this cycle to release decisions?
As much as I would love to hear from Harvard next week, I am not holding my breath for the first week of March. When I interviewed in the fall, we were told decisions would be out by the third week (as it says on the admissions website). When did people start hearing that March 1st will be "the big day"?

Because at my interview day, they said they were working on moving it up by a couple of weeks and were planning on releasing acceptances around March 1.
Seems like people have heard both. I know they have interviewed fewer people this year than in previous years, so an earlier reponse could be possible like stevo111 and tkp have heard.
We'll all see what happens I guess
well regardless of what day in march we find out...good luck to all of us!
hmm, that's interesting. how do you know that they interviewed fewer people this year? Do you, by any chance, know roughly how much fewer (to make decisions available a couple weeks earlier)?
Thanks!
I think they said they were going to interview about 850 people.
egyptiangod I was told at my interview in the initial "orientation" session. I actually wrote the numbers down. I will look them up and post them later.
Wow. So 850 interviews for probably 220-240 acceptances (this includes both NP and HST). Slightly better odds of admission post-interview, but it's still Harvard, so we'll see. In any case, good luck to everyone!
Aren't the odds always better post-interview . Regardless, 600 people is one hell of a number to cut. And I'm sure the 850 who were interviewed were all amazing and well accomplished. I wonder what kind of criteria will be used to cut such a huge number. Kinda scary
the 850 includes dental school I think or other programsHere are the numbers I vividly remember from interview day:
~3700 applied
Only ~15% being interviewed this year = ~555
...Agreed. I don't believe it either.
~CG
the 850 includes dental school I think or other programs
but I know for NP the number of interviews is much less than 800 so 555 might be it
either way it doesnt matter what the number is. Everyone will know their fate in the next week or 2 so good luck to us and congrats for even being interviewed (at least I am happy to b part of the 555-1000 interviewed!!!)Um, I have 850 interviewed 230 accepted written down in my folder as well, like the majority. (interviewed early October).
MSAR has 830 interviewed and 6000 applications for 2009-2010 cycle. ~3.7k is far too few for a school the caliber of Harvard.
"Harvard Medical School" interviews between 800-1000. http://hms.harvard.edu/admissions/default.asp?page=statistics
The only interesting thing is the MSAR, because they definitely said that they are interviewing less people this year and the figure last year quoted verbally by the adcoms was in the 900's.
Anyhow, I just wanted to throw this out there. We should be realistic, but we should also refrain from giving information that's stretching it.

isnt that MSAR for the class of 2009-2010? just checkinYeah, that is interesting, I was just checking out the MSAR last night at a reference desk, and I was coming here this morning to let everyone know about that number. It seems odd that they gave out different stats- to applicants, they say they interviewed 954, and yet officially on the MSAR they say they interviewed 830. But whatever, like everyone said --> we'll just wait and see

I heard through the grapevine that admit packets were tentatively scheduled to go out March 7th. You probably don't have too much longer to wait.
Best of luck!
Sent some yesterday; no update.Did anyone who sent any correspondence to the admissions office receive confirmation?
