I do not think there are any decisions earlier than 21st. The mail they have sent conveys no rejection.

Some people already received admission offers, after emailing HLS and letting them know about their deadlines.

I think that if you look at previous years threads, it's evident that HLS devide applicants that ask for an early dessicion into 2 groups:
1. Those who are admitted, and get admission email.
2. Those who receive the Wait/accept e-mail, and later on get rejected.

Hence, i think it's safe to assume that the above stated email is a polite rejection. Anyone who doesn't realize that is simply denying the obvious.
Congrats to those who are admitted and good luck to you all.

Does anyone for sure received and answer from HLS? I received the same email of ESP-LLM... and I agree that this might be a polite rejection. I don´t think that If they are going to accept you, they will answer that. They usually compete for those you are admitted.

Have any American applicants received an admission decision from HLS?

I got a slightly different reply, just saying that someone would be in touch as soon as possible, but not advising me to accept other offers. That said, no one has been in touch :) Prob. just best to hold out until the 21st or whenever, specially as they don't make their financial decisions till early April regardless.

Hey Dane,

I also sent an e-mail to Harvard abou the deadlines. At first I got your e-mail and 24 hours later I got the standard e-mail the other llm-guide members received.

And still no third e-mail yet!

From last year posts I thought that HLS send another email informing about coming events,

Its amazing how Harvard wants to make us explode of stress.

I believe we should stop stressing ourselves.
Let's wait until March 21, 2008 and let's see what happens!
Ciao

I agree with ellelem....let's just wait and good luck to you all!
11 days and counting......

Exactly!
It's better to stop doing divination concerning the date of the decision or the meaning of the slightiest sign coming from HLS...
The fact is that nobody really knows, and after all, it doesn't really matter since it won't change the results (except of course for those who already received an offer from CLS,...the early review is in fact really not so good that it looks like!!!)

DanE, any developments regarding your e-mail to HLS? Just curious..

Are you sure about that Oak??

Are you sure about that Oak??

I don't think it is possible since Harvard send email and they don't call everybody who get in the programme...

Hey guys. There seems to be some confusion here about the whole HLS issue. I'll try to clarify to the best of my ability.
A. yes, it's true. HLS has informed numerous applicants about their admission (My guess almost everyone who got admitted already knows).
B. No, they dont call. They send you an e-mail and inform you that youv'e been admitted, and ask you to be quiet about it untill the 21.

Just be patient and wait for the 21.3. there is nothing you can do right now anyway.

does that mean that we didnt receive email, it implies that we didnt get in?

Did you receive one of those email?
