About 5 new members joined the fb group this week. Of course they could be joining late, but it might mean a fair amount of WL movement.

They responded. They are unable to disclose any information. It was worth a shot!

If the class was full I don't see why they couldn't disclose that so hopefully we'll see some waitlist movement next week!

There's probably about 50-55 people fully committed based on housing stuff/groupme

For those accepted off the waitlist, how long did they give you to respond to the offer?
 
Hi all, a couple questions for accepted students -
Has the administration provided any insights or commented on whether classes in the fall semester will begin virtually?
Also, have there been any comments on how this would impact the EMT training/opportunities given to 1st year students?
Thank you!

I think most schools are going to wait until after their class is committed/filled to announce these changes. My speculation is schools don't want any of these changes to affect decisions on where they will go, so we might not get real answers until June/July. Harvard probably doesn't worry much about people leaving and can be the first to announce this. That's just my guess though.

I think they mentioned briefly during second look about adjusting part of the first year such as changing the emt training to another activity if necessary due to the pandemic. This was back in early April though and they have not made an official announcement yet.

Our classwide emails (and Q&A with admin) indicate that we're planning to return to in-person classes for fall 2019, with the obvious caveat that everything is tentative depending on the situation later in the summer.

Anyone know if people accepted off the waitlist historically receive institutional aid like everyone else?
 
Can any accepted students comment on how the Facebook page/GroupMe looks now?
 
I’ve uploaded letters of interest to the portal but now I feel like they never read them lol

There are 118 people on the facebook page but this likely includes people who committed elsewhere. The groupme has 66 people.

I'm hoping to get off of the 1st tier waitlist, but I want to defer my acceptance to complete a masters program that I was just accepted to. The deadline to request deferment is May 1. Do you think they would be lenient with this deadline, given I would only be accepted after this date?

If the masters program is a priority, you should take that and go there. Schools dont easily grant deferrals (this year complicated by the fact that numerous ppl are making requests due to covid) and it is highly unlikely they grant even if you got off the WL seeing as the school’s own deadline has passed. Ask yourself which is more of a priority to you right now.

Trigger Warning: That e-mail literally made my HR go to 167, my smart watch is proof. It's just a survey reminder.

Would you mind clarifying which emails you're referring to? I don't think I've gotten anything indicating they plan on returning to in-person -- just wanna make sure I'm not missing some emails that they've sent out!
 
Have accepted students started looking for housing yet?

Withdrew from the first tier WL today because I signed a lease at my PTE school. Good luck to everyone still waiting!
