i knew it was a long shot but i'm still hopeful with my fingers crossed. I'd really be happy to get into any med school but the waiting is killing me.

Given that Harvard's admissions are not rolling, is there ANY advantage to submitting your secondary application sooner rather than later? It sounds like they don't even look at applications until Nov 1, so the only thing I can think of is that maybe it will look better if you apply earlier, indicate more interest in the school, show that you were diligent about getting their secondary in, etc.

Sooo, Harvard is the only school that has still not marked my application as complete. I submitted/finalized the secondary over 3 weeks ago (on August 31) and have still not received a complete email... Should I just keep waiting? I don't like to bug admissions if I don't have to. I just wanted to make sure this was just a usual delay, and not something to be concerned about...

Just FYI everyone, the interview window they offer you is actually kind of short - in my recent interview invite, you can interview on a selection of dates (a combination of MTRF for sure, not sure if they had weds) between now and the middle of October only. I didn't have any availability after that, so you will have to choose from dates within 4 weeks of your invite I think.
Anyways, 36/3.7c/3.5s. I think I have above average activities and "experiences," but I'm not that stellar academically. Still, yay Harvard! =D

We successfully received an application from DTUD on 9/13/2010 10:15:51 PM. If you have not already done so, be sure to finalize your application when you are ready to submit it to the Committee on Admissions for review.
Hey when you guys are referring to a complete e-mail, do you mean the one I quoted below, or is there one that actually says "You are complete" ? I got this one after submitting/finalizing.
ok thanks for the info, can i ask what day you submitted it ?
Invites are coming out roughly about a month after the complete email is received.
Hey, does anybody know how late the Harvard interview day can actually go? I know they don't hand out a schedule, but they say not to book a flight out of Logan before 8pm, and the only feasible flight available for me leaves at 7pm (otherwise I'd have a 12 hour layover and have to pay an extra $150). Will this be cutting it too close?
Thanks!
Why not give it a shot? Years from now I doubt you'll be missing the 75 dollars or whatever the extra app costs. Might as well toss yourself in the running.I got one of those "Apply to HMS since you are a minority and just took the MCAT" letters in my mail today. With my stats, anyone think its worth it at this point to submit my AMCAS to them?
So, I was complete August 12th lol
Am I done?
I submitted August 10, and sent an email to admissions 10 days ago, who have said my file is waiting to be processed and completed. I sent another email (I made the mistake of forgetting I had emailed them 10 days prior) and got the same answer today.

I'm sorry to hear of your experience. Try to be understanding that they all are people and deal with us "obnoxious medical students" all the time. If you happen to get an interview invite, I am sure you will have a very positive experience, and once you get accepted, you will be treated much nicer.So I called them, because it had been over a month since I submitted and I didn't realize you were supposed to email (like you guys did). Anyway, the woman on the phone was SO RUDE to me. Honestly, I understand that she probably has to deal with obnoxious, nervous pre-meds calling her all the time, but I was honestly just checking to see if I was missing something and I never had called before, and the woman was so amazingly impolite. I was really shocked.
