2023-2024 Harvard

[2023applicantxd]

No way this is how we find out who got accepted or not right Lmfaoo. But nah I didn't.

If holland slavic or brokenllamas did then it's definitely indicative lmfao

anyone else just get an email asking for their social lol

I just did

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

What do you mean by social? Is it the event in the evening with Harvard students? Or like social media handle?

Social Security # I'm assuming

 

[Holland]

Nothing on my end. For those who got an email, did you remember to fill in your SSN under the interview tab in the portal?

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

ohhhh yes this makes more sense lol

 

[orthodontisto]

Nothing on my end. For those who got an email, did you remember to fill in your SSN under the interview tab in the portal?

Nope, didn't notice the tab until now haha. So I guess the real question is, did anyone who didn't fill this out previously (not including people without a SSN) NOT get an email?

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

I'm not able to view my SSN tab/place where I added my SSN. But I vaguely remember adding it?

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

I remember reading through the last few years' threads and the same thing happened. The SSN thing didn't matter, people got acceptances regardless of whether or not they got the email.

From Gn Agricola on 03/04/2022: "R at 11:35 EST. For future reference - they sent me an email asking me to upload my SSN on Monday. Was not reflective of final decision. Good luck to all and congrats to all folks accepted!"

 

[John Summit]

I added SSN in the portal a while back and did not receive an email

Edit: if you want to check if you added it in the past its under Interview --> Additional Info

Does anyone know what the post-II acceptance rate is for HST, and Pathways independently? And what fraction of applicants get Is from both?

 

[Holland]

HST takes 42 people and interviews... I want to say like 160ish people(?) given that there are 8 interview dates with around 20 people each.

Pathways is trickier. My first instinct would be to subtract the HST stats from the overall stats, but I'm not sure how the overall stats count interviewees/acceptees that are shared across the two programs.

 

[Idkwhattocallit]

I think Pathways stats is also ~25% after interview. And I have no idea on what percentage of applicants get interviews from both

158 exactly this year

 

[chromoplexy]

i think they said in my interview that ~65% of people accepted to HST also get a pathways offer!

 

[rizznocapslaybestie]

Did anyone get in last year whose social was NOT added / asked for?

 

[organiccotton]

Do we know how many people are usually interviewed for both HST and pathways?

 

[BrokenLlamas]

If holland slavic or brokenllamas did then it's definitely indicative lmfao

Hahha, but good luck with your decisions guys!!!

Gonna be doing some spinning disk microscopy on Friday morning, and the lady at the confocal facility has been my #1 fan and supporter throughout the whole cycle... we're both going to be either celebrating or crying

You got this. The universe has its way of making everything work out in the end 🤗

 

[John Summit]

This wait can definitely be considered a form of torture in some countries

 

[opabiniafan]

anyone know what time decisions have come out historically? been sleeping in on the west coast so hopefully i can just wake up and see my sentence

 

[gobbywooby]

Wait so are we expecting Friday to be the day?

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

I think 10:30-11:30 PM EST is when they have come out in the past

 

[John Summit]

saw some as early as 9 am eastern in previous years

 

[peachesandoranges]

This is really the only time interviewing from the West Coast does me any favors LOL

[John Summit]

So is the ssn email indicative of admission status? Someone got the ssn email in one of the past years thread and caught the R

Wait is that based on memory or when you check on the portal, your SSN is not there?

 

[lilacmagnolia]

[procrastinating_cheetah]

I have been nauseous since yesterday lmao. Constantly cycling between hope and feeling stupid for even expecting something.

 

[Roux22]

Just happy to be here

You're not stupid for expecting something. the fact that you got an interview means you are qualified to get in. It is harder to get an II than an A. Keep your head up, and listen, even if you don't get in, guess what you're still going to be a doctor. I understand this may be your dream program. Maybe not. But at the end of the day, you're going to a remarkable and empathetic doctor, and I'm sure most of your patients won't even care about whether you went to Harvard Med. What matters is how qualified you are, and you've already shown you're qualified through the II. No matter what happens, trust me, it will work out. For all of us

You all have no idea how much this thread is helping me to cope hahah, glad to be in this with you all
