Right, but is there any data on people who said they did not get the email but forgot to put in their SSN? Is the data varied for them or did all of the people who reported not getting an email but having not entered their SSN get rejected? If any of you sleuths can figure that out, we would be so grateful haha
For the benefit of future people. n=1 here got the R and was prompted to input SSN and immediately did. I would guess that they are not correlated.
 
WL this morning. I'm not seeing too many WL reports, so telling myself that is a good sign for possible later acceptance. Though realistically probably not, since it's Harvard.

Adding to this—I never received the SSN email and also never entered my SSN, and I was accepted this morning.
So, for the benefit of future applicants, there is absolutely no correlation whether you receive the SSN email or not (even if you never submitted your SSN)
 
What's the chance for re-apply? Will the bar be much higher than the first apply due to the potential bias?
Can't really speak for a re-apllicants chance, but I would imagine it would be more difficult given that there would be a prior comparison to your old application that can be made during review.

Anyone have any insights on WL. Whether it be movement stats or best steps?
Seems like it’s pretty good each year—they don’t send out many WL at all and previous years have mentioned the committee reporting 30-40 total WLs.

Here’s an article from someone who got off the HMS WL a few years ago, I hope it helps a bit?

Best of luck to you!

Does HMS accept additional LOR while on waitlist? Can’t find anything about it online

The Director of Admissions did a podcast with Case a while ago, they mentioned LOR at 1:13:10 if you want to give it a listen.

 
I remember that I was having trouble deciding and didn't pull the trigger until the last day. If anyone here is still unsure about the decision in the final hours here, DM me and I'd be happy to talk about my experience at HMS. I'll try to check my DMs throughout the day.
 
Could people specify if they are withdrawing Pathways or HST? Would be great for WL folks!

Best of luck to you all. I recognize there are so many other important factors besides school name.

Anyone hear of any movement so far?

There was some WL movement this past week, new people joined the chat who I know for sure were not at admitted students day.
