Last year they came around a week to 2 weeks after the e-mail. I know some people that were on the opposite side of the country and didn't get their folders until well after the rest of us. I also know someone that was in Bulgaria when it was sent out and they panicked for a month before it finally arrived. Don't fret 🙂

Got mine in the mail today. Posted about it in the Facebook page.
Hey Guys,
Sorry if someone asked this already but does anyone know how to confirm being on the HST waitlist? I just replied to Joanne's email saying I wanted to stay on it, but there was never any button to click on the application status page, nor did I ever receive confirmation. Is that all I had to do?
Thanks! Appreciate it!

I think HST waitlist also gets a package in the mail with a form for you to fill out.
so just to make sure.. to secure our spot, we only have to return the blue offer of acceptance form, right? we don't have to return the course requirements form if we already submitted one on interview day, correct?
Wondering this as well...
Yeah, you don't need to hand in the course sheet until after May 15th from what I remember.
thanks for helping us out on this thread!
Do any first or second years live at Harvard @trilogy? Wondering if it is a good alternative to vanderbilt hall

Question regarding grading at HMS
I'm a med student elsewhere involved in discussions about our preclinical grading system. Part of the process involves determining the policies of our peer schools, including HMS. Hoping someone could resolve some issues:
My impression: HMS is pass/fail the first two years, except some people can get gold stars ("Letter of Excellence") but nobody knows how these are given out and who gets them, everyone gets narrative evaluations that are included in your record and can affect your Dean's letter, and HST is graded and ranked?

Too embarrassed to ask this o the FB page. Are tests multiple choice?

Yes to most of what you said. I have never heard abut the "Letter of Excellence" but if the registrar says it exists it must. It is definitely not something that is spoken about.
I am not in HST but my understanding is that they are pass/fail with some form of an internal ranking. Again, I could be making that up so make sure to double check.
