If you check the lunar reflaxtion angle for the past three decision dates

okay this is crazy but...

if you check that angle, the same angle was on each day. 15.5 degrees. And when is the next time the angle is 15.5 degrees? This Friday

This has definitely been one of the most creative conspiracy theories I've read on here. Could you tell us a little bit about what a "lunar reflaxtion angle" is?
 
How’s everyone hanging in?

I come from an Asian/brown family and they’ve told my relatives I’ve gotten accepted since I interviewed...back in September.

cant wait to tell them I’m an R/WL next week.

wow are you me? Not only that but I have a wedding in India the week after next. So I’ll be sharing the R/WL news with 1000 of my closest relatives

Low key I am. My parents are hoping for the Harvard A so that it can increase my prospects for finding a wife. I just know it haha

Edit: looks like I’m getting married folks

So, is the consensus that we’ll be hearing early next week?
Idk... another tin foil hat idea:

In 2018-2019 cycle, fin aid was available 3/5 after 3/2 decisions. This year it's available 3/1...

It was also due in 18-19 on 3/19, 17 days after acceptance. This year it's due 3/16 which is 17 days after 2/28.

To delve into increased layers of neurotics, what are some keywords we should be looking for in that first email. Will they put Acceptance in the email subject? Will it start with, "Congratulations", like the interview? Or, "On behalf of the admissions committee..". Will a reject have the ominous "Admissions Decision" subject line?
 
It could be between tomorrow and next Friday, yeah. I will be in CA for the first time all of next week for Spring Break so I will finally have the 3 hour behind advantage; I'll wake up at 9am PST and the decision will likely be there!

Booking a flight to CA now for precisely this reason.

I have been thinking about this! Someone answer please.

well the A's come out before the WL/R so if you get an email from like 10-10:15am, that's good news.
 
I'm going to bet next week. I've always heard "the first week of March" from the people there.

But if decisions come out tomorrow, it'll be a surprise to be sure - but a welcome one.
 
I think a dark horse is Monday-Tuesday of next week. I doubt tomorrow.

Yeah, my rationale is that there's not much incentive for them to release decisions earlier. If anything, why not take more time to deliberate on applications? Physicians (and generally everyone on the adcom) are also just way too busy to deliver earlier than expected.

I know you all love to be neurotic but please, whenever you receive an email from any school, JUST READ IT.

For those who’d get the acceptance emails tomorrow, the subject will read “Welcome to Harvard Medical School” so you won’t have to wait to open the email.
its very exciting you guys, I remember my time my heart almost dropped when I saw the email (it was around 9:45am), hope it’s good news for all of you tomorrow! Good luck!!!

Yeah, is it "Admis

I feel like I am ready for whatever the outcome is, because its been incredible to make it this far!

Yeah y'all I was just wanna congratulate all of you for getting an interview at goddamn harvard medical school. I feel like in this process we get tunnel vision about focusing on the next step, and not everyone may have had super supportive friends and family who let them know this, but it is incredibly exceptional for you to have gotten this far. Regardless of what results we get in the next few days, you kicked ass!

I needed this. Hope we’re future classmates or colleagues somewhere!
