FAQ
Harvard's admissions process is famous for sending out Likely Letters to promising applicants. They send them out after an applicant has submitted a full application, but prior to the release of Regular Decision acceptance letters. Sometimes, admissions officers will call students instead of sending them a letter.
Restrictive Early Action candidates apply by November 1 and receive notification by mid-December. Regular Decision candidates apply by January 1 and receive notification by the end of March.
All applicants will receive a notification email within 48 hours of submitting the admission application. Admission and financial aid decisions are released in March.
Applicants are notified by email when a decision is available to view in the Applicant Portal, normally by March 15. You can log in to the Applicant Portal to check the status of your application and track the receipt of required materials.
If you are not selected for the position, you will receive an email from Harvard (address "academicpositions@harvard") letting you know. This email may come while the search is in progress, or it may come at the conclusion of the search. Can I make changes to my application after I have submitted it?
Restrictive Early Action candidates apply by November 1 and receive notification by mid-December. Regular Decision candidates apply by January 1 and receive notification by the end of March.
Most importantly, the Applicant Portal is where you'll view your admissions decision. Most applicants receive an email reminding them to check their portal and view their decision about 15 minutes after decisions are released.
For example, Vanderbilt invites 200 students to their MOSAIC Program, but admits around 2,000 students yearly—in other words, only around 10% of accepted students get a likely letter. Similarly, in 2015, the University of Pennsylvania received 37,267 applications and only accepted 3,697 students.
All Ivy League schools send out likely letters. These schools know they are competing with each other for top applicants. They each want to improve their yield rates and the chance that these top applicants will choose to attend their school.
Regular Decision candidates apply by January 1 and receive notification by the end of March.
